Pet care experience

reliable, gentle, long-term stable

▍About Me ☺️🩵💛🤍 Hi, I’m Miumie — a gentle, detail-oriented pet caregiver with extensive hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve been involved in cat rescue and fostering for years, and I currently live with my young cat, Bobo. Traveling with him has given me a deep understanding of how animals adapt to unfamiliar environments. I’m highly attentive to each pet’s emotional state, behavioral patterns, and physical condition. My care style is calm, patient, and respectful of every pet’s personality and boundaries. I’m also continuously learning about feline communication, canine behavior, and animal social interaction. ▍🏡 Home & Environment I live in a quiet ~1,200 sq ft townhouse in West Berkeley, offering a calm, smoke-free, alcohol-free, and party-free environment. Each guest has their own clean sleeping area and feeding station, along with plenty of toys and enrichment for both cats and dogs. I usually accept only one pet family at a time (with rare overlap during transition days), allowing me to provide focused attention in a peaceful, low-stress environment. Because I work from home, your pet is rarely left alone and will have companionship throughout the day. For dogs, our daily walks may include quiet neighborhood streets, nearby parks, the waterfront, Creekside Park, and the trails around Albany Hill. Every outing is adjusted to your dog’s age, energy level, and personality. Pickup and drop-off are available throughout West Berkeley, Berkeley, Albany, San Francisco, and nearby areas. If your pet can arrive freshly groomed, I’d truly appreciate it. 💛 ▍Daily Care 🐾 🐶 Dogs • At least 4 outdoor walks or potty outings every day • Plenty of playtime, enrichment, and companionship • Longer walks or small local adventures whenever appropriate 🐱 Cats • At least 2 hours of interactive playtime every day • Plenty of toys and enrichment • Affection and interaction based entirely on their comfort level Every pet has a different personality, so I always adjust my care style instead of following a one-size-fits-all routine. ⸻ ▍Frequent Updates & Daily Care Report 📝🔍 I love keeping pet parents connected throughout the day. You’ll receive photos, videos, and real-time updates whenever your pet is playing, relaxing, exploring, or doing something funny or adorable. Before bedtime, I’ll also send a detailed Daily Care Report including: • Meals & water intake • Walks, playtime & activities • Bathroom / litter box updates • Mood & behavior observations • Any notable moments from the day You’ll never have to wonder how your little one is doing while they’re with me. ▍My Experience 🧘🏻 • Experience caring for cats and dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities • Years of cat rescue and fostering experience • Assisted with kitten deliveries and around-the-clock newborn kitten care • Successfully rescued, fostered, and rehomed stray cats in Chongqing • Participated in a U.S. rescue case involving cats from an abusive breeding situation I don’t simply watch pets—I genuinely enjoy understanding their personalities and helping them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. ▍Medication & Special Needs 🩺🩹 If your pet requires medication, has dietary restrictions, or has special behavioral needs, please let me know before booking. I’ll happily discuss the best care plan and make adjustments whenever appropriate. ▍After-Stay Keepsakes 💝🎀 Some guests may receive little keepsakes after their stay, such as: • Handmade postcards • Polaroid photos • More personalized surprises coming soon ✨ ▍My Promise ⚜️ My priority is always your pet’s: • Safety • Emotional well-being • Comfort I hope to provide more than just boarding—I want every pet to feel like they’ve found a peaceful second home where they’re genuinely loved, respected, and cared for.

Miumie was excellent! She went above and beyond taking care of Nanako, preparing a comfortable space in her home and even buying Nanako some toys! Miumie took the cutest pictures and videos of our puppy and shared them multiple times a day. She took Nanako on fun outdoors adventures and was prepared to handle the extra challenges that come with caring for a young puppy. Pickup and drop off were on time and convenient for our travel schedules!

Niyuan is an excellent pet sitter. Very responsible and reliable, and she communicated clearly and consistently the entire time. She kept detailed records of feeding and care, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I really appreciated how she maintained open communication throughout, always keeping me updated. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive sitter.

Niyuan was stellar. She provided daily updates, multiple photos, asked detailed questions and was extremely responsive. I knew my pup was in great hands with her from the beginning. Thank you again!

Schedule

I am available almost all day until June and can provide frequent updates on your cat’s daily condition and well-being. More details about my experience and home setup can be found in the details section. At the moment, I prefer boarding stays of three days or longer, as this allows cats to settle in comfortably and reduces stress. If your cat requires any medication or special care, please let me know in advance. I kindly ask for some basic information about your cat, including personality, preferences, daily routines, and companionship needs. If you have a busy schedule, at minimum please share any medication requirements (if applicable) and important care notes, so I can ensure consistent and safe care.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a calm, clean, and cat-focused home environment. Also provide out silted travel options if need. I live in a pet-friendly apartment that is fully set up for cats, including multiple litter boxes, feeders, water fountains, and dedicated resting areas. I carefully manage hygiene, feeding routines, and daily observation to ensure each cat’s safety and comfort. Cats are never left unattended for long periods, and I avoid unnecessary environmental stress. I value clear and consistent communication. I provide regular updates, including photos and notes on your cat’s condition, behavior, and mood. If anything unusual arises, I will reach out immediately. Your cat’s physical safety and emotional well-being are always my top priorities.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day is calm, playful, and structured around the pet’s comfort and energy level. For dogs, the day usually includes walks, gentle play, cuddles, and rest. I enjoy interactive games like fetch in safe, controlled areas. For safety reasons, I do not allow off-leash play unless the dog is very familiar and the environment is fully secure. At home, we spend time relaxing together, enjoying toys, treats (with permission), and quiet companionship. For cats, the day includes plenty of enrichment activities. I have a variety of toys such as wand toys, rolling balls, interactive play mats, automatic red-dot toys, and window perches where cats can rest and watch outside. I engage in short play sessions throughout the day and allow plenty of downtime, following each cat’s natural rhythm. Fresh water, regular meals, a clean environment, and emotional comfort are always part of the daily routine.

To provide proper care, it is important for me to understand your cat’s basic needs in advance. Please let me know if your cat requires any medication or additional support, and share any important care notes related to health or daily monitoring. I would also appreciate information about your cat’s personality and emotional needs. For example, does your cat enjoy close companionship and interaction, or prefer calm, respectful distance? If your cat is sensitive to food, environmental changes, sounds, handling, or new people, please let me know. Any details about temperament—such as whether your cat is shy, bold, affectionate, or cautious—are very helpful. Feel free to share anything you think is important. Clear communication helps ensure your cat’s safety, comfort, and emotional well-being.
