Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional pup pamperer
I’ve had the privilege of raising and loving dogs since childhood. Most recently, I shared nearly two decades with my sweet senior pup (yes, all dogs even the senior ones are puppies to me), caring for her from puppyhood all the way to her senior years when she peacefully crossed the rainbow bridge at almost 19. Caring for her unconditionally throughout her life left me with an abundance of love to give, and I want to honor her memory by providing that same dedicated care to your furry family members. Because of my journey with her, I am experienced in both the high-energy demands of raising puppies and the specialized, gentle needs of senior dogs such as administering medication, subcutaneous fluids, and managing mobility limitations and senior comfort. I promise to treat your dog with the same patience and unconditional love I poured into my own for 19 years.

Ratings and reviews
It's always so hard to leave our furbabies behind when we are away from home. That's why it was crucial for us to find a doggie sitter that would love my babies as their own. And thank goodness we found Yuri. Yuri and her husband Brandon are true animal lovers. They care for our dog, Izzy, with so much love, affection, and respect. I mean, they let her on their bed and we don't even do that!!! Yuri sends us daily photos of their adventures and will let us know if anything ever comes up. Izzy truly loves Yuri and we'll always count on her to sit for her if she's available. If you love your furbabies like your own child and need a sitter that will a lso love them as such, then Yuri is the perfect person!
Yuri is hands down the best pet sitter we've ever had. It's clear how much she really loves animals and she cared for our dog as if he were her own. She took the time to get to know my dog's personality, routines, and preferences, which made me feel at ease while I was away for a week. She sent pictures of my dog outside and on walks. My dog loved staying with Yuri. It's not easy finding someone who is as reliable as Yuri. I'd recommend working with her!
When it comes to caring for our beloved dog, Bingsu, Yuri is the first, and honestly the only, person we think of. Her genuine love for dogs is evident in everything she does, and we've been witness to how she loves on every pet. Bingsu absolutely adores her, and we always have complete peace of mind knowing he is in her care. Yuri is responsible, attentive, trustworthy, and incredibly compassionate. Among our friends and family, she is the person everyone turns to when they need someone dependable to care for their pets. Her natural connection with animals is truly special. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with Yuri, and I cannot recommend her highly enough as a loving and dedicated caregiver.
Leaving Melo with Yuri feels less like pet sitting and more like sending him on vacation. Every time we travel, we know he’s not just being watched but he’s being genuinely loved, spoiled, and cared for like family. Yuri has an incredible gift with dogs and a heart big enough for every one she meets. She showers Melo with affection, plenty of walks, endless cuddles, and thoughtful care that goes far beyond expectations. We often joke that her home is “Yuri’s Dog Haven & Spa” because Milo comes back happier, more relaxed, and probably a little disappointed to leave! What sets Yuri apart is the genuine connection she builds with every dog. She takes the time to understand their personalities, routines, and quirks, making them feel safe, comfortable, and completely at home. It’s clear that caring for dogs isn’t just something she does, it’s who she is. Trust is everything when it comes to leaving your furry family member with someone, and Yuri has earned ours completely. If Melo could write a review, he’d give her five stars plus kisses to show his love and appreciation.
Yuri took wonderful care of our 12-year-old dog Kobe for a week while we were out of town, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. She sent constant updates with pictures throughout the entire stay, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Her home has a nice large yard where the dogs can play, and you can tell she has tons of experience with dogs from having had many of her own over the years. She's also thorough about going over instructions and guidelines for how to care for your dog, so we felt confident he was in great hands. Especially with a senior dog, that level of attentiveness meant the world to us. We'd absolutely book with Yuri again and highly recommend her!

Schedule
Because I am currently taking a short break in my career, I am at home full-time and can dedicate my entire day to your pet's care, routine, and companionship. Your dog will have constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention. Additionally, my husband works a hybrid schedule and is home half the week, meaning we have built-in backup and double the love for our furry guests. Our flexible schedule allows us to easily accommodate your dog's specific feeding, walking, and medication timelines.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am located in a quiet, peaceful cul-de-sac, and my home is a safe and secure environment designed with dogs in mind. I have a spacious, fenced backyard for plenty of supervised playtime, and have boarded up to three dogs at a time to ensure everyone receives personalized attention. For exercise, we have access to a private, fenced-in park perfect for long, safe walks away from busy traffic. Plus, my home features a built-in doggie shower suitable for both large and small breeds, so your pup stays clean!
A typical day
I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to pet care. I tailor our daily activities to match your dog's personality and energy level. Whatever your dog needs to feel happy, safe, and fulfilled, we are absolutely happy to accommodate. For the Active Play-Seeker: If your pup has endless energy, we'll spend the day chasing toys in our fenced yard, playing fetch, and going on long walks around our quiet neighborhood and private park. For the Gentle Senior or Couch Potato: If your dog prefers a slower pace, they are free to leisurely sniffs in the grass, sunbathing in the secure yard, and plenty of uninterrupted couch cuddles in a calm, quiet home. For the Anxious or Shy Pup: Because I am home full-time, I can provide a soothing, low-stress environment filled with comfort, gentle reassurance, and a cozy spot right next to me.
