I currently have a very flexible schedule and can adapt to your pet’s routine. Whether your pet is an early riser, enjoys midday walks, needs medication on a specific schedule, or prefers a consistent bedtime routine, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. During house sitting stays, I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care in my client’s home so pets can remain comfortable in the environment they know and love. During house sitting stays, I focus on one family at a time and provide dedicated one-on-one care rather than dividing my attention between multiple households. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and household preferences. I monitor appetite, energy levels, bathroom habits, and overall well-being, and I communicate any changes promptly. I also provide high-quality real-time photos, videos, and detailed daily updates so you always know how your furry family member is doing. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience for both pets and their owners.

Information Shihua H. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me about your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, personality, favorite activities, and any special needs or medical conditions. I also appreciate information about medications, training cues, dietary restrictions, anxiety triggers, and anything that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. The more I know about your furry family member, the better I can provide personalized care and maintain the routine they know and love. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

A typical day

A typical day is built around your pet’s individual routine and personality. We may enjoy walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddle time, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I make sure pets receive physical exercise, mental stimulation, and quiet downtime so they feel relaxed and comfortable. Meals, medications, potty breaks, and rest periods are always provided according to their normal schedule. Throughout the day, I send photos, videos, and updates so you can stay connected with your pet even while you’re away. At the end of each day, I provide a detailed summary covering meals, activity levels, mood, behavior, and any notable observations.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs for several years, and I truly believe that pets are family. When you’re away, my goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, comfortable, and happy in their own home. What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and communication I provide. During house sitting stays, I focus on one family at a time and do not divide my attention between multiple clients. This allows me to provide dedicated one-on-one care and fully follow your pet’s routine, preferences, and needs. I have experience caring for small dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, long walks, extra cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I adapt my care to their individual personality. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet while traveling, especially for longer trips. That’s why I provide high-quality real-time photos and videos throughout the day, along with detailed daily updates about meals, water intake, potty habits, exercise, medications, mood, energy levels, and overall well-being. I also carefully monitor any changes in appetite, behavior, or routine and keep detailed notes when needed. When you return home, you’ll have a clear understanding of how your furry family member has been doing, making it easy to continue their care and routine without missing anything important. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own family. My goal is not only to care for them, but to help them feel loved, understood, and secure while you’re away.

Shihua was awesome, I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care while I was away. We first did a meet and greet so she could meet my dog and get to understand his schedule and needs. And during the stay she sent me lots of photos and videos. I would happily have Shihua watch my dog again when I’m away!

Shihua took exceptional care of my two pups, paying close attention to their medications and routines. She was an excellent communicator, sending frequent updates and videos that made me feel connected and reassured. I also came home to a spotless house. I’m so grateful, and would absolutely trust her with our dogs and home again!
