Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs of different ages and personalities, from young puppies to adult and senior dogs. I’ve owned my own dog before and presently i have an 8mo puppy. so I understand daily routines, feeding, walking, playtime, and basic training needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, including potty routines and gentle training, as well as older dogs who may need extra patience and attention. I’m also familiar with basic grooming tasks like brushing and keeping dogs clean and comfortable.( i have full set of grooming and bathing tools and have took training lessons before)

Zhechen is the best and I always hope she is available to watch Cleopatra. Cleo really loves her. Zhechen is a true animal person and we are so lucky to have found her!

I can’t recommend Zhechen enough- she was AWESOME. My dog Tinker adored her, she sent great updates throughout his entire stay and when I picked him up he wanted to go with her still! Tinker seemed as comfortable as he does in his own house. She also worked with me on pickup when I had a flight delay coming home which was so kind. Zhechen went above and beyond and will be my first message when I need a sitter again!

She cut my dog's hair > WITHOUT asking. Nor did she inform me. EVEN after I said I would cut it before drop-off, which I did, but not to her liking? This seems to be an issue with sitters wanting to alter your pet to their preference. Be clear and state that you do NOT require grooming services before you drop off for boarding.
