Safety, trust & environment

For cats boarding, our home has cat trees, cozy resting areas, and a Litter-Robot for a clean, low-stress environment. Cats are free to roam the house as long as they get along with our own cats. I always supervise introductions and make sure every cat has safe spaces to relax or hide if needed. Also if your cat feel like staying alone, we have a separate room set up ready as well. I’ve included photos of part of our home so you can see the environment your cat will stay in. For dogs, I provide drop-in visits or boarding, where dogs are most comfortable and able to follow their normal routines.

Information Shiqi H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet’s routines, personality, and any behaviors I should be aware of, such as anxiety, shyness, or reactivity. I also need to know their feeding schedule, medical needs, medications, allergies, and how they usually interact with other animals. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can keep them safe, comfortable, and happy.

A typical day

For cats, I like to spend quiet time with them, play with their favorite toys, and follow whatever pace makes them comfortable. If a cat enjoys fresh air, I can use a secure leash and let them explore the backyard safely. I also put calming cat videos on the TV to keep them entertained and relaxed. For dogs, I follow their established routine. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and comforting companionship. I focus on keeping dogs calm, happy, and secure in the environment they already know.

Gentle, Reliable Dog Care

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs since I was young and have cared for many different personalities over the years. I regularly help the family I used to live with by watching their dog whenever they travel, which shows the trust people place in me. Dogs tend to feel comfortable with me quickly, and I focus on gentle handling, consistent routines, and making sure every pup feels safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away.

Shiqi and her husband Danny took great care of my dog like their own. They are careful and loving pet owners and sitters, I can tell Misty has a great time staying over and it was hard to say goodbye. I will definitely reach out again for pet boarding with Shiqi ❤️

The best caretaker i’ve ever had ! Shiqi sends daily updates with pictures and videos, asks questions if she has any concerns and gives any updates if needed. she communicates very well and very quickly ! Shiqi made sure to make my cat as comfortable as possible and made sure my cat was loved ! Shiqi loves animals and you can definitely tell by how she treats/ takes care of them. She was a wonderful host and even allowed me to squeeze in last minute, i wish i had found her sooner !! I will most definitely be rebooking whenever i need to leave town again.
