Pet care is already a natural part of my daily life, since I currently care for two dogs and one cat that I’ve raised from a young age. I’m very attentive to my pets’ health, habits, and emotional needs. Every day, I make time to play with my cat before bedtime to keep her mentally engaged and relaxed. Because caring for animals is part of my regular routine, fitting cat drop-in visits into my schedule feels natural and meaningful to me — I truly enjoy helping pets feel comfortable and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

For cat drop-in visits, I focus on providing thoughtful, detail-oriented care. I make sure your cat has fresh food and water, clean litter, and plenty of gentle interaction and play if they’re comfortable. I also pay close attention to litter box habits — I note how many times your cat has peed, and I check for any unusual color or changes, as these can be early signs of health issues. If I notice anything concerning, I will update you right away. My goal is to care for your cat with the same patience, responsibility, and love that I give to my own pets.

Pet care experience

I have hands-on experience raising two dogs from 8 weeks old, and I’ve been responsible for all aspects of their care and training. I personally trained them in potty habits and basic obedience, including sit, lie down, shake, and waiting for food even when it’s right in front of them. I also taught fun commands like jumping over my leg and following simple routines with patience and consistency. In addition to training, I take care of their grooming needs at home, including bathing and trimming their fur. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a calm, patient, and attentive approach to dog care, and I truly enjoy helping dogs feel comfortable, confident, and well-loved.

This was my first time with Shiji and he was absolutely amazing, following each and every instruction and checking in with me when my cats refused to eat, went above and beyond to take care of other things kike checking litter, changing water and even playing! I trust them with my cats and my cars trust them as well
