1. Yick-hong L.
“Hong recently cared for my cat, Mio. Mio is a clever but stubborn cat who already knows tricks like sit, high five, and play dead. However, she rarely performs these tricks for anyone and no other sitter has successfully gotten her to perform these tricks. Hong patiently observed her and figured out her biggest motivator—food. He successfully got her to perform her tricks which is quite an accomplishment! In addition, Hong provided regular updates, complete with photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind and confidence that Mio was in great hands. Hong’s genuine love for animals, combined with his reliability and honesty makes him an outstanding pet sitter. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-tier care for their pets.”
