5. Yun-Chun & Ao-Chang H.
“I highly recommend Yun-Chun as a cat sitter! She is an incredibly caring and responsible pet caregiver, with experience looking after her own two cats and a dog. When my family was away traveling and there was an outage at my home, she went out of her way to check on my cat, ensuring everything was in perfect order. She changed the water tank to provide fresh water, refilled all the food containers as needed, and thoroughly cleaned the litter box. Throughout the process, she sent me plenty of photos and videos, giving me peace of mind that my cat was happy and well cared for. Yun-Chun is thoughtful, detail-oriented, and truly loves animals. If you need someone reliable to take care of your furry babies, she is the perfect choice!”

10. Julia H.
“Julia has been my primary pet sitter ever since my kitty, Percy, had joined my family. I used to feel nervous going on trips and leaving Percy at home, but after meeting Julia and having had her pet sit Percy, I know that there is nothing to be nervous about. From how Percy seems so calm and healthy when I get back from trips, I can tell how much Julia loves animals and how she treats them like they’re part of her own family. Julia is reliable, kind, and knowledgeable, and I could not recommend her enough.”

Whether it’s keeping their feeding routine consistent, cleaning up after them, or just spending quiet time so they don’t feel lonely, Xinyu always goes the extra mile. I know any cat in his care will be treated with the same kindness and patience.”

She cared for her and made her as comfortable as possible until we could return home to take over.

She is an amazing sitter and a highly trusted member of our family unit.”
