Safety, trust & environment

I respect and follow each pet’s existing routine to keep them comfortable and reduce stress.     •    I ensure pets are fed on schedule, walked or played with, and given attention and affection—just like they would receive from their own family.     •    I maintain a tidy space, clean up after pets, and keep the environment safe and secure.     •    I’m attentive to any changes in behavior, appetite, or mood and will immediately communicate with owners if something seems off.

Information HoChuen L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any special needs for diet and medication, I am also attention to detail, and good at observation. I have observed my cat having bladder problem by know her habbits. The more time I spent with the pets, I can easily figure out their preference and pattern, hence easier to spot any abnormalities.

A typical day

I spent a lot of time play fetch with one of my cats. I also do dental cleaning with them every night just to make sure they have clean gums. At night, I watch TV with them on the couch.

Pet care experience

🐾 Pet Care Experience Summary With over 11 years of hands-on experience caring for six cats, I bring deep compassion, responsibility, and attentiveness to every aspect of pet care. My household includes one cat with a medical condition requiring a specialized diet and asthma management, giving me the skills and sensitivity to handle pets with unique health needs. This experience has instilled a strong routine of monitoring subtle behavior changes and health signs—early detection is key, and I pride myself on being observant and proactive. In addition to feline care, I’ve provided dog sitting for family members for 5 years, adapting to different breeds, temperaments, and daily routines. Whether walking, playing, feeding, or managing medications, I ensure dogs are cared for with the same consistency and affection I give my own pets. ⸻ 🌟 Daily Responsibilities & Care Habits     •    Clean litter boxes daily to maintain a hygienic, odor-free environment.     •    Closely monitor behavior, appetite, and mood shifts for early signs of illness or stress.     •    Manage medication and special diets confidently, with reliable routines and documentation.     •    Provide engaged companionship, including playtime, brushing, and snuggles.     •    Capture joyful, candid moments—I love taking pet photos and often share them with owners to give peace of mind.

HoChuen (Oscar) was amazing. Very responsive and very quick to call or communicate with any question a that arose throughout his stay with our big guy. We loved the photos and daily updates he gave us. We would not only use Oscar again but would highly recommend him to anyone needed him to stay and watch your pup. Thanks again Oscar for leaving us feeling assured that our big guy was safe and taken care off at our home.

HoChuen day-sat our dog for several hours while we were out. I would highly recommend him. He was conscientious and prompt and asked good questions before we signed him up. He was on time and engaged with our dog and followed up on our instructions. He communicated when he thought there was a problem and asked for our input. I would have no hesitation in hiring him again. I recommend him to other users.
