Pet care experience
Pawfect Care
I’m a student at UC San Diego with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. I’ve been living with animals since I was a baby and have always felt comfortable and confident around them. Back home in Taiwan, I have two cats and a dog, and every summer I volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I help care for animals of all ages and needs. Although I don’t currently have pets in San Diego, I regularly help friends by pet-sitting while they’re away, so I still get to spend a lot of time with cats and dogs. I’m organized, clean, and truly care about each animal’s comfort and well-being. I always try to treat every pet like my own—with patience, affection, and respect for their routines and personality. Whether it's senior care, playful young pets, or just keeping up with daily walks and meals, I’m dedicated to making animals feel safe, loved, and at ease.

Safety, trust & environment
When I’m walking or sitting with pets, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar experience for them. I always follow your pet’s routine—whether that’s walk routes, feeding times, or play preferences—to keep things consistent and comforting. For walks, I make sure leashes are secure, stay alert to our surroundings, and adjust the pace to match your dog’s energy and needs. During sitting visits, I keep the environment tidy, stick to any specific care instructions, and make sure your pet feels relaxed and cared for while you're away. I’m gentle, patient, and respectful of each animal’s space and personality. You can count on me to treat your pet—and your home—with attention, respect, and care. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re apart from your furry friend.
Ratings and reviews
Thank you Misha for taking such good care of our three pups and our house!
Misha was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! I was very nervous about leaving them, especially because Izzi can be anxious and leash reactive, but Misha handled everything so well. She kept me updated with lots of photos and videos throughout their stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she was very attentive. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Misha with them again in the future.
I just picked up our dog, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he received. He can be nervous in new situations, but Misha was super sweet, she made our dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I appreciated the updates and could tell she genuinely cared about him. Seeing him happy and relaxed when we picked him up meant so much to us. I highly recommend her and would gladly trust her with our dog again!
Misha was absolutely amazing with our dog, Jasper. In just three days, she packed in more adventures than we usually manage in weeks! She took him to the beach, the park for a picnic, daily hikes, dog parks, and even a dog-friendly beach where he could play fetch and socialize with other dogs. Jasper warmed up to her almost immediately and was clearly having the time of his life. Misha kept us updated with frequent photos and videos. The updates were fantastic and always seemed to capture Jasper at exactly the right moments, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Misha is incredibly caring and attentive, and it was obvious that Jasper felt comfortable, loved, and happy with her. We would not hesitate to book with Misha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.
Misha was great. She watched my dog & 2 cats & was constantly sending picture updates. I could tell all of the animals had a great time
She is the best. Our dogs loved her and for sure we are gonna use her services again

Schedule
As a UCSD student, I have a consistent class schedule that allows me to plan ahead and make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s routine. I’m reliable, organized, and always make sure each visit or stay is calm, caring, and comfortable for your pet.

- Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, allergies, triggers, or behaviors I should be aware of—like leash reactivity, fear of loud noises, or separation anxiety. It’s also helpful to know their feeding schedule, favorite toys, and commands they know.
