Wanna be your furrkids’ best friend🫶🏽

Pet care experience

I was a cat foster for nearly 5 years before moving to the UK, I got into it wanting to help with stray cat problems in the neighbourhood I lived. Voluntarily conducted TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) project by myself, I tried to find suitable homes for friendly kittens/ cats and successfully did so for almost 30 cats. It wasn’t many as I had a full-time job in the meantime, I tried my best. After a couple years of TNR, I managed to control the amount of stray cats in the area, the cats in the region got to have their own territories. I took care of each stray one for a week after their operations before I returned them to where they got caught, no matter whether they were friendly or not as it was needed to make sure they’ll be okay when being returned to the wild. So I’ve got experience in dealing with mean cats, too, not an expert, but I know how to get along with them when needing to provide the care. I’ve got three cats of my own in Taiwan (Bob, Ding and Gēn) and my family’s got a dog (Lucky), I really miss them 🥹🥹🥹 and miss hanging out with fuzzy pets, so I’d like to spread my love to other furrbabes! Overall, I have more experience in taking care of cats than dogs as I didn’t stay with my family, but basic care and dog walks are definitely without a problem! I’ll make sure to be attentive to the needs of your every little furrkid. Medication can be applied if needed as well, I’ve gained experience dealing with different types of pet health issues over the years, especially when I fostered stray cats.

Amazing service! Ferlin has taken such excellent care of my cats and has been sending me photos and videos everyday to keep me updated. The cats absolutely loved having her around! I will definitely book again in the future as her services go above and beyond.

Safety, trust & environment

Daily provide of fresh water, food is a must as well as cat litter clean up. I’ll spend time patting/ grooming them or playing with them depends on what they need. Play time can be 10-15mins per round with short breaks for 2-3 rounds before their bed time, depending on how energetic the pets are. For dogs, either play time indoor with games like tug of war or outdoor walks. If treats are allowed, I’d love to train your pets to do simple tricks too like shaking hands. 😂 I think it’s a great way to bond with furry pets and also to keep them entertained. I regularly vacuum the place as well to make sure the environment is clean and tidy.

Information Ferlin W. would like to know about your pet

Daily routines, including preferred walk/ meal/ treat times. Any special needs, including dietary restrictions, medications. Your pets’ personalities and their preferred toys/ activities. Other instructions like in the house before what time, or keep from which area etc.

A typical day

We’ll start the day with a walk in the neighborhood or the park nearby. We can play fetch, tug of war etc to stimulate your dog mentally and physically, and build the bond with the doggy. Treat time is the most exciting thing and a lot petting for sure. We’ll have another walk in the evening to make sure the dog has plenty of exercise before calling it a day. Building trust with your pets is the most important thing of all.

I’m happy to meet up prior to caring dates so that you and your furkid(s) get to know me better, if not, virtual calls can do too. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a message.
