Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my top priority. I provide a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with supervised care and close attention to each pet’s routine, comfort, and well-being. To ensure personalized care and avoid overcrowding, I only accept one household of pet(s) at a time for boarding. My dog, June, will be the only resident pet staying with your pet(s) during their visit. I follow all feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and special instructions closely while providing regular updates and photos throughout their stay.

Information Haeun Esther K. would like to know about your pet

I like to learn as much as possible about your pet before we start our time together. Please let me know about their daily routine, any quirks or sensitivities, feeding instructions, and how they do around other dogs or new environments. I’ve cared for senior dogs, pets with medication needs, and young puppies, so sharing any health concerns or special requirements helps me provide the safest and happiest experience for your pet.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pet happy, active, and mentally engaged. We’ll start with a refreshing walk or light jog to get their energy out, followed by plenty of sniffing adventures to satisfy their curiosity. If you allow it, we’ll enjoy off-leash time at safe dog parks or even a fun doggy beach day for some extra excitement. I love adding enrichment throughout the day — from hide-and-seek to puzzle games — along with a 10–15 minute “knowledge bump” training session to reinforce good manners in a positive, playful way. And of course, we always wind down with a cozy evening routine, complete with a nightly dental check and some well-earned lounging time. Your pet will end their day feeling loved, stimulated, and relaxed.

Haeun just watched my two dogs and cat for the second time and I’m again very happy. You can really tell she’s an animal lover. It is so refreshing to be able to go on vacation and not constantly worry about my boys and wether the sitter is staying on schedule, she sends an update after every walk/meal with so many pictures.My boys love her and I will be booking with her again for my next trip. P.S. One of my dogs can be reactive and she does a great job handling him. (He’s 80 lbs)

I was very nervous initially, especially since I have a 80 lb reactive dog and a new cat who was a stray. Haeun was wonderful. She reassured me that she was comfortable walking my dogs and taking them on separate walks. My cat was pretty anxious and she updated me on it with what she’s doing to put him at ease. She sent many pictures and updates keeping me at ease. All 3 of my boys really loved her. I have already booked with her again!

We are very pleased with Haeun Esther's care for our two young cats while we were away. :)

Esther is awesome. She’s reliable, easy to communicate with, and great with dogs of all ages/personalities/energy levels etc. She’s calm, attentive, and genuinely cares, which makes it really easy to feel comfortable trusting her with your pup. Anyone looking for someone who they know will always without fail show up and actually care about your dog as if it were their own, I couldn’t recommend Ester enough.
