Hi, I’m Yinan, a recent international graduate and a dog owner. During my studies in Melbourne, I started doing freelance dog walking and pet sitting. As my studies became busier toward the end of my degree, I paused for a while, and now I’m happy to start again and meet new furry friends. I offer dog walking, house sitting and one home visit per day. Special care requests and discounts for longer bookings are also available. I've always loved animals, but my passion for pet care started with my own dog, Septdot, who was adopted in Beijing (she's now with my family in China). Through caring for her, I became part of a small community of dog owners who often helped look after each other’s dogs during busy times. That experience taught me a lot about how different dogs behave and what owners need when someone else is caring for their pets -- not only care and patience, but also clear communication and timely updates. Doing dog walking and pet sitting in Melbourne has helped me cope with being away from Septdot, while introducing me to many lovely dogs and friendly owners. Over the past 1.5 years I’ve cared for 10+ dogs of different breeds, sizes, and ages here. I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s personality and routine, whether they need an energetic walk, calm companionship, or a little extra attention for medical care while you’re away. I'm always happy to send photo updates so you know your pet is safe and having a good time.
