Availability

I work a regular 8–5 schedule, but I’m very available in the early mornings and evenings. I especially love spending time with cats before bedtime to help them play, unwind, and get their energy out. I’m also not planning any travel in the next three months, so my availability is steady and reliable.

Safety, trust & environment

In Your Home: I’m happy to come to your home and follow your instructions closely. I make sure to keep your cat’s routine consistent—feeding, litter box care, playtime, and any special requests you have. I respect your space and your cat’s comfort, and I always aim to keep things calm, clean, and stress-free. In My Home: My husband is also a cat person! Only us live in the house, and it’s a quiet, safe, and cat-friendly environment. We have a big cat tree facing the window that they can enjoy people/squirrels watching. We will give enough attention to your cat, ensuring the a happy boarding experience.

Information Lin Y. would like to know about your pet

Their personality, daily routine, play preferences, house rules, any health needs... The more I know, the better I can make your cat feel comfortable and cared for!

A typical day

I love giving cats plenty of fun and engaging playtime. Depending on their personality, I’ll play with feather toys, wand toys, laser pointers, or gentle chase games to help them get their energy out. If they prefer calmer activities, I’m happy to offer cozy cuddle time, quiet companionship, or brushing. I always follow each cat’s comfort level and make sure playtime is safe, positive, and enjoyable for them.

Pet care experience

Hi there !I especially love cats and am an active foster pawrent for 2 local shelters. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. Before moving to DMV, I’ve lived with a cat for 7 years and a dog for over 5 years, so daily care, routines, and understanding their needs comes naturally to me. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. 🐾

Lin took such great care of our cat while we were out of the country and always kept us updated and sent pictures every day. Our cat was calm and happy when we came home.

She is the best cat sitter ever. Loved her. She took care of our furr baby for 10 day, with such a good care. Our furr baby refused to come back with us after 🤣🫣😭💖

Lin took great care of Bean. She is thorough in her communication to enusure she is taking the best care of your pet. She sent pictures, videos and was responsive to questions. Bean generally hides when someone comes into the house, however she quickly acclimated to Lin and was social showing a high level of trust. I would recommend Lin!
