A typical day

🥳 We truly love both dogs and cats, and we’re lucky to live in a neighborhood with lots of friendly pups — many of them are already our little walking buddies! We also understand that every pet has their own personality. Some love going outside to explore, while others prefer quiet time and gentle company. We’ll always take the time to get to know your pet’s preferences and adjust our care to what makes them feel happiest — whether that means extra playtime outdoors or simply relaxing together at home. When we board your pet, we treat them just like our own: • plenty of cuddles • lots of playtime • regular outdoor walks and fresh air (for dogs) • happy to take dogs out on trail, dog park, or stopping by local markets (we’ll make sure to bring enough water for outdoor activities) • calm, cozy spaces to rest • and continuous attention and affection throughout the day We understand that being away from home can be stressful for pets, so we make sure they always feel safe, loved, and included. Your pet will be part of our family while they’re with us. ❤️ We’re excited to meet you and your furry companion!

Pet care experience

Hiii, this is John and Karina! I’ve been taken good care of 4 cats for 3 years in Shanghai. My wife Karina has 8 years experience of caring cats, and she had a champagne-colored teddy dog since 14-years-old for 9 years. So pet care fits naturally into our daily and weekly routine, it’s something that brings us happiness and relaxation. Whether it’s going for walks, playing with them, or just keeping them company. We’ll treat your furry friend carefully. 🫶🏻Our cat is used to get along with other pets, please let me know if your pet can or cannot stay with a cat. We have experience in caring furry babies in a gentle way and our cat can shake hand when she wants snacks or balls. * We only accept one client at a time to ensure individualized care.

Karina is incredible. She’s attentive, professional, and so great with Bruno. He absolutely loves his walks with her. It’s such a relief knowing he’s with someone who genuinely cares and takes the time to make sure he’s happy and well taken care of.

Karina and John were amazing! They kept me updated with lots of pics and videos during Bobo’s stay. Bobo had such a great time — they made sure he went out for potty breaks 3 times a day and got plenty of playtime too. I’m really looking forward to boarding with them again in mid-October 🙂

I know John to be an incredibly responsible and pet-lover individual. His awesome character is defined by a profound patience and love for animals, which would ensure any pet under his watch receives not just safe, but truly loving care. Furthermore, his wife Karina is innate thoughtfulness and excellent communication skills mean she would provide outstanding customer service, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away.
