Pet care experience
I have been lucky enough to spend time with dogs of a range of ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need a slower pace and a gentle touch. I’m comfortable with a wide range of needs, just let me know! I take time to build trust, especially with shy or anxious dogs, and I always move at their pace. I also pay close attention to behavior and body language, so I can respond quickly if something seem off. But most importantly, I make sure that they're safe and happy, while waiting for their favorite person to come back to them.

Reviews
Yuting was great, she was updating me everyday of how my cat was doing and was very polite and accommodating
Yuting D. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Yuting did a great job taking care of our little guy Rowdy. She even came to meet us and Rowdy before the date she would be sitting for us. She sent us pictures and updates while we were out enjoying our anniversary together. It was so nice to have the day and not worry about leaving him. We knew he was in good hands! Thank you Yuting!!
I was out of town for a week and needed someone reliable to walk my Akita (Thunder). Yuting was an amazing dog walker! I love Thunder but to be honest he is a badass who loves to jump when he sees people or other dogs he doesn't like. Yuting handled him with great care and professionalism. She took extra precautions to ensure Thunder's (and others) safety and comfort. She is clearly experienced with handling large, energetic dogs. The other dog walker we worked with before didn't walk Thunder enough so during that time he was always irritable at home. Yuting also sent me regular updates like photos and messages. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing Thunder was in good hands. I would recommend Yuting for anyone needing a trustworthy and skilled dog walker!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I'm welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in their own space, I always focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment. I live in a quiet apartment surrounded by forest and green space, with very little car traffic in the neighborhood, which is perfect for peaceful walks and outdoor sniff time. At my place, I maintain a clean and cozy space with plenty of room for your doggie or kitty to lounge, play, or nap. In your home, I'll respect the privacy and cleaness of your space. I will follow your care instructions closely, from feeding routines to medication schedules and favorite toys, because I know how important familiarity and consistency is to their happiness.

Information Yuting D. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your baby, I like to learn as much as I can to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy in my care. Some things that are especially helpful to know include: Daily routine – feeding times, potty breaks, walk preferences, and sleeping habits Personality – playful or shy? Do they enjoy cuddles or prefer space? Triggers or fears – loud noises, strangers, other animals, etc. Any medical needs – allergies, medications, past injuries, or anything I should watch for Favorite activities or comforts – toys, treats, or routines that help them feel at ease
A typical day
Everyone is different, so I love getting to know each one of their personality and energy level to have fun with them! Sometimes it's constant throw and fetch, sometimes it's cuddling, or it could be kitties zooming around the coffee table chasing a magic wand. If they're happy, it makes me happy.
