Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take safety very seriously. I know that safety is key to building trust. I will communicate with you clearly about your expectations and your house rules so you feel comfortable having me in your home taking care of your pet family members.
Information Kiwi H. would like to know about your pet
If you could provide some info on the following topics would really help me tailor my care to your pets and ensure their safety, comfort, and well-being:) 1. Health status: Any existing health conditions, allergies, medications? 2. Behavioral traits: Temperament, socialization level, any triggers? 3. Routine: feeding schedule, preferred activities, excercise needs? 4. Emergency: Your emergency contact info, protocols for emergency, access to vet's care?
A typical day
We will start by making sure the harness is secured and ready to go. I will then take your pets to your trusted regions or neighborhoods for walks allowing them to explore sights and smells while getting their excercises. I can engage them in interactive play sessions depending on your preference of location with their favorite toys, whether it's tug-of-war, fetch, or hide and seek. I can also incorporate training sessions if that is something you are doing with your pets to reinforce positive behavior. We end the day with a cuddle session with belly rubs or gentle grooming depending on your pets' needs to help them relax.

Pet care experience
Building trust with animals has always been a rewarding experience for me. I always had cats growing up, and when I came to the U.S. as an international student 10 years ago, I stayed with many host families who trusted me with taking care of their dogs and cats. I started volunteering for Petco Cat shelter in 2016, taking care of kittens and senior cats, monitoring their oral medications, and finding them second homes. I am now a cat mom of my 7-year-old black cat and a rescue orange cat. I will provide your furry babies with all my love and care during the days when you are away, and send you updates so you feel like they are with you the whole time!

Reviews
Kiwi provided very quick responses and took great care of our kitties! She sent great updates and pictures at each check in, and had no issues with our cats medication. She even took her shoes off when entering our home without us requesting, small things are much appreciated. Thanks for taking care of our cats, they look forward to seeing you again!
Kiwi was so nice and professional with our cat, Kimchi! I booked a drop in visit last minute for a trip I was taking and Kiwi was very accommodating. I really appreciated the time Kiwi took to meet and learn about Kimchi and her preferences. Kiwi also took many great photos during the visit (Kimchi looked thrilled about Kiwi visiting her!) and wrote a very nice update so I knew Kimchi was happy and healthy while I was away!! I will absolutely reach out to Kiwi the next time I have a trip!
Kiwi has provided excellent care for my cat on separate occasions of 1-2 weeks each. He is very afraid of strangers, but with gentle coaxing, Kiwi managed to whisper him out from under couches and allow petting. Remarkable! Check-ins happen at the scheduled times. Messages from me receive timely replies from Kiwi.
Kiwi is a pleasure to work with and my shy cat adores her!
