For about three years I've been working with an organization called the Koreatown Youth and Community Center (KYCC). In my first year with them I was a student of their Bridge program during the pandemic. Later I worked with their Bridge program again but as a volunteer for experience. In my third year I worked with their environment services for school volunteer service hours. In short, in this Bridge program I was trained to tutor and mentor younger students. Through this training I gained experience working with 3rd-5th graders. Not only that but I built a great relationship with the students and teachers. Upon finishing my term I was awarded a certificate and the President’s Volunteer Service Silver Medal for having contributed to my community. Apart from this, as a kid I've been taking care of my younger sister who is 7 years younger than me. I learned how to engage and connect with small children. I would always play with my younger sister and entertain her. I am a respectable student who enjoys kids and would like to take care of them.

Follow these handy tips for hiring a dog walker so you know your pup is in safe, reliable hands.

1. Check experience

Look for walkers who have worked with dogs of similar size, breed, and temperament.

2. Verify credentials

Ask about pet first aid/CPR certification and whether they’re insured and bonded.

3. Request references

Speak to past or current clients for honest feedback.

4. Meet in person

Arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog responds to them.

5. Discuss routines

Ensure they can stick to your dog’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule.

Clarify whether they walk multiple dogs at once or provide solo walks.

7. Check reliability

Confirm their backup plan in case they’re sick or unavailable.

8. Look for communication

Choose someone who provides updates, photos, or reports after walks.

9. Test with a trial walk

Start with a short session to assess how your dog and the walker get along.

Go over payment, cancellations, keys/access to your home, and emergency procedures.
