Safety, trust & environment

I’m experienced with all daily care needs, including feeding, fresh water, brushing, litter box cleaning, nail trimming, sanitary trims, tooth brushing, medication, and baths. When pets stay with me, they’re free to relax and explore — no strict rules, just a safe and comfortable home where they can feel at ease. My apartment is secure, so there’s no worry about pets running off, and I also have a small goldfish tank they can enjoy watching. I hope every pet feels relaxed, safe, and happy while staying with me.

Pet care experience

I have 15+ years of cat care experience, starting with my first cat, Lucky, a blue Scottish Fold, whom I raised beginning in elementary school. After losing him to illness, I realized how much responsibility pet care carries and chose not to adopt again until I was truly prepared. My love for animals never changed — I now regularly care for my partner’s cats and friends’ cats whenever they need support, always treating them as my own. With a flexible work schedule and minimal onsite time, I’m able to provide plenty of companionship and attentive care.

Awesome cat sitting. The cats were very happy and well cared for. Hongyu was a great communicator too.

Hongyu W took amazing care of my cat, Maxwell. She sent lots of pictures and updates, which really helped me feel at ease while I was away. Maxwell came back happy, well cared for, and even had his coat brushed. I would definitely recommend her and would gladly book with her again.

Hongyu did an amazing job! went above and beyond my expectations. She did exactly what was asked and more. she gave my cat so much attention that when I got back she wasn’t as seeming to miss me as she usually is. Definitely would recommend Hongyu!
