DREAM PET CARE - Licensed & Insured, 2nd home for your pet 🐶❤️🐱 Hi, I’m Zhi! Growing up on a farm, I’ve always been surrounded by animals, and my love for them has only deepened over the years. I am a full time pet sitter, and for me, it’s far more than just a job - it’s my passion and calling. I feel incredibly fortunate to do what I love every day, and I’m truly grateful to be trusted by so many wonderful pet owners. Many not only return time and time again, but also recommend me to their friends and family. Even more rewarding is the love I receive from the pets I care for. The joy I feel when a dog runs toward me, tail wagging, or when a shy cat finally curls up beside me, fills me with pride and purpose. 🐾 🔹What sets me apart? In addition to my deep love for animals, I provide a professional, safe, and structured environment backed by the following: ✅ Licensed by Aberdeen City Council, with risk assessments and emergency plans in place ✅ Fully insured ✅ PVG-checked through Disclosure Scotland ✅ I have extensive experience caring for pets of various breeds, ages, and personalities - including those with medical or behavioural challenges, eg diabetes, post-operative recovery, incontinence, anxiety, leash pulling, reactive behaviours etc ✅ My goal is to provide every pet with a true second home - a place where they are not only cared for but understood, loved, and supported. Whether it’s a puppy’s first time away or a senior pet needing extra attention, I’m here to give each one the expert care they deserve. 🐶❤️🐱
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Zhi was phenomenal! He kept me updated throughout the entire stay with tons of pictures, videos, and comments daily! My dog seemed to have the best time and I feel so comfortable knowing we now have someone we can trust to watch our fur baby when we’re away. Zhi’s love for animals is shown through his attentiveness and kindness towards them. I would recommend Zhi if you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter.
Reggie, as always, had a great time with Zhi. As Zhi also has a dog of his own, Dream, Reggie always has someone to play with. We leave Reggie knowing that he will not only have a great time, but will be well taken care of.
I was looking for regular daycare one day per week for my puppy Willow and decided to try Zhi and his wife. I did an initial short trial to see how Willow coped, after which Zhi agreed to take care of her. I got updates and photos throughout the day which was hugely reassuring and Willow appeared her happy and usual self on collection. Being a puppy, I asked if a rough routine could be followed and the same commands used as I use for her training, which was no problem at all. So far my experience has been really good and I have booked Willow in for ongoing care.
Zhi minded my dog Evie at such short notice, we are so greatful he was available as she is a very anxious dog. Would 100% recommend Zhi, he was amazing with her, I got multiple photos and videos throughout the day, it was great to see Evie getting along with other dogs and seeing her out on walks Excellent service, will be going back again 🌟
Zhi looked after my dog lola for 4 nights. Lola would normally stay with family while we are away but as this was a family holiday i chose Zhi to take care of Lola. Zhi has the perfect home from home set up. Open kitchen/living area with patio doors opening onto garden for dogs is perfect. We had a trial visit for a few hours in the afternoon in months leading up to lolas stay. When i dropped her off she seemed to remember Zhi fondly and seemed content when i left. I received regular photo and updates on lolas walks etc I will use Zhi again in the future.
Our pup Raisin had a lovely time staying with Zhi, so much so that she took some persuading to leave when we picked her up! Zhi made sure to keep us updated, and send us lots of photos of Raisin, which was extremely reassuring and put our minds at rest that she wasn't sad or missing us too much. We could see that she was having a great time and looked about as happy as she ever has when we collected her. We will 100% be using Zhi's services again. We think Raisin is looking forward to it too!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
🔹 My Home: Your pet will feel right at home in a safe, spacious, and comfortable environment. Here’s what they’ll enjoy: • A large, secure garden with a fence over 1.5 meters high (dig-proof) • Plenty of indoor space (around 140m²), including open-plan area plus 3 additional rooms • Quiet, private areas for pets who prefer their own space to relax and unwind • Pet-specific washing machines and fridge/freezer • 2 robot vacuums with mops to keep the floor clean • Access to beautiful spots via various walking trails right from my back gate, including: Hazlehead dog park Den Woods Johnston Gardens Couper’s Pond Walker’s Dam 🔹 My Dog： I also have a very special helper: Dream, my 4-year-old Labrador and Golden Retriever mixed. She is amazing at matching the guest dogs’ energy level, whether they want to play tug-of-war non-stop or simply have a quiet companion. She’s also walking calmly on leash and has helped many dogs learn how to walk calmly by walking alongside her on a dual-head leash.
Pets
A typical day
🔹A Typical Day We typically enjoy 1-3 walks per day depending on your pet’s energy levels, all in peaceful, natural surroundings. Back at home, I keep your pet mentally stimulated and content with supervised play time, rest periods, and lots of affection. If your dog prefers personal space, I can offer individualized care.

- 🔹 What I’d Like to Know About Your Pet: Before confirming your booking, I will ask you to fill out a brief pre-visit form and arrange a meet & greet at public places or a trial stay at my place to ensure that both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident with the care plan. In order to provide the best care possible, I’d love to learn as much as I can about your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs they might have. Here’s what I’d like to know: • Feeding and walking routines • Any medical conditions or medications • Socialization level and temperament • Crate or bed preferences • Any special needs or quirks The more I know about your pet, the better I can tailor their care to ensure they are as happy, comfortable, and safe as possible. 🔹 Please note the following: • Puppies may also be subject to a premium rate, depending on their training and developmental stage. • To ensure safety and socialization, I usually walk a maximum of two dogs at the same time, following a professional assessment of their compatibility. Solo walks can be accommodated upon request (subject to availability) - please specify this in your booking request. • Peak rates apply during the following dates in 2026: February 7–15 March 28 - April 12 May 1-4, 22-25 June 20 - August 30 October 10–25 December 19 – January 10
