Doggy Day Care Soho

About: ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. My first dog — Lucy, a Border Collie I had when I was 11 back in Shanghai, China — was my best friend for 16 years. Alongside her, I cared for a rescued stray cat "Noji" and an adopted poodle "Bebe" when I was 13, which taught me patience, responsibility, policing different pets, and how to understand different pet personalities. After moving to the U.S. for school, I brought home my baby Corgi "Brioche" in 2020. She’s now a 5-year-old certified service dog who’s friendly, well-trained, and walked three times a day for at least 30 minutes each time. I also helped train and kept a baby Devon Rex cat for my family in 2025. What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, ages, and temperaments — from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I love fur babies more than anything and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I will be working part time starting summer 2026 in NYC, so my schedule is flexible, I'm available for daily walks, boarding both weekdays and weekends. I live in a 2 bedroom in FiDi close to battery park city. There are no crates and my corgi was never crate-trained. I don't have indoor pet potty so I almost only take my dog out for potty unless the weather is crazy. I have plenty of dog beds and toys.

About: I love dogs (and cats!) I just love them so much :) My husband and I have cared for our disabled Labrador since she was 5 months old (she’s now 7), so I’m very comfortable with special needs and senior dogs. I also grew up with a dog so I am experienced with puppies and basic training. I genuinely love dogs and treat every one like my own! I’m home full-time, so I have plenty of time to give your dog lots of attention, playtime, walks, and care. I’m available throughout the week for both daycare and boarding. I live in an apartment with an elevator. I have plenty of space for play, meals, and cuddles, and I make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine closely and adapt to their individual needs, whether they’re active, chill or somewhere in between.

“I’m really glad I chose Yutong for daycare with my energetic little poodle. He was very attentive and reliable, asking all the right questions about my dog’s character, sharing photos throughout the day, and keeping me updated on how things were going. My dog came home happy after spending the day with him, and I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Amanda took great care of Jill while we were out the whole day. Jill is usually cautious with new people but she trusted Amanda really quickly. I recommend Amanda's services.”

“Thank you so much, Michael, for watching Ferguson for a few hours on same day notice. I am so impressed on your almost immediate response when I contacted you this morning. I appreciate your kindness, and the photos you sent while Ferguson was in your care. I am happy my dog got a little play date! Glad all worked out. Thanks again for understanding a Dachshund personality, too.”

“Sarah was an incredible sitter. We left our dog with her while we went out for a concert and she was extremely accommodating and flexible. She made herself available earlier, she fed our turbo with chicken and rice because we didn’t have his food on us, so she gave him her own food so he wouldn’t be hungry until late, and she was flexible with the pick up time being late because we were at a concert. She kept us updated with lots of photos, which I love! 10/10 sitter, would definitely recommend and leave my dog with her again.”

“Yoon took great care of our little Tate, and sent us regular updates. Most importantly, she is incredibly warm and kind, and Tate took to her immediately!”

“This was my 10 month old Jack’s first time at Doggie Day care. The moment we met her, Jarianna’s “eyes lit up” with love and affection for Jack. She immediately handled Jack as if he was her own, bringing confidence to me that I had made to right choice. Feeding, walking, play time and especially nap time were all on point. We will definitely be repeat clients. 🐾 🐶🐾🐶”

“Blondie had a blast with Linyan at daycare today! Highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs! She sent a bunch of photos and videos of Blondie having the best time with her pup and was super communicative!”

“Shishi was very proactive in sending texts and photo updates on Cooper which I really appreciated! This was Cooper’s first dog sitting experience and I think he loved it! I will definitely be booking with her again!”

Jennifer J.

“Cathy was amazing with Milo! She took such great care of him and was always taking him out to different places and making sure he had plenty of fun and attention. Milo absolutely loves her, and I could tell he was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. I felt completely at ease knowing he was so well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend Cathy and would love to have her watch Milo again!”

Olivia J.

“Jennifer has watched Arthur a few times now and each time he absolutely loves being there!! Jennifer is perfect at making him feel comfortable and loved everyone he hangs out! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for your dog!!!”

“Elle was absolutely great with Olee. She also kept in frequent contact with photos of what they were doing, which always shows a excellent host! I would most certainly book with Elle again in the future!”
