Pet care experience

Lifelong dog lover & trusted care

I’ve cared for my own dogs for the past 8 years, starting with a long-haired dachshund who’s been with me since the beginning. A few years later, I adopted a Shiba Inu I found near my apartment building. Just last year, I rescued an injured stray dog from the street near my home. Each one has taught me something different about patience, trust, and unconditional love. I care for dogs like they’re family—feeding them, walking them, tending to their needs, and making sure they always feel safe and loved

Zemei is truly a lifesaver! This is the second time she has watched Kenzo, and once again, she was incredibly helpful, communicative, and amazing with him. What really set this stay apart was how she handled the unexpected. A major snowstorm hit NYC this weekend, causing my flight to be significantly delayed. Without hesitation, Zemei stepped in to help. She stayed at the house with Kenzo, keeping him safe, warm, and happy while I navigated the travel chaos to make my way back. It is such a relief to have a sitter you can trust when things go wrong. She treated Kenzo like her own, and I couldn't recommend her more highly. Thank you, Zemei!

Zemei was awesome. She really cared for our senior pups as if they were her own. From drop-off to pickup, she was kind, communicative, understanding, and patient. We did a meet and greet initially; it was clear that she’s a pro - she asked a lot of thoughtful questions and our pups warmed up to her quickly. It was hard to leave our dogs (esp since they’re quite old now and require more delicate / attentive care); finding someone we could trust was a game changer. 10/10 would recommend!

Zemei was wonderful with Kenzo! She was attentive and took excellent care of him throughout his stay. I loved getting the playful pictures and videos she sent—it really put my mind at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!

Zemei was fantastic! Our plans were interrupted by the flu and she was very flexible regarding our changing plans. She took great care of our pup and was very communicative!
