Safety, trust & environment

When I visit your home, I care for your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. For drop-in visits, I follow your routine closely—feeding, fresh water, litter box cleanup or potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet companionship, depending on what your cat or dog needs. For dog walks, I make sure your pup gets fresh air, exercise, and a moment of joy. I walk at their pace, always with safety and comfort in mind. Every visit is calm, respectful, and tailored to your pet’s personality. My goal is to help them feel safe and loved while you’re away.

Information SHIYAO L. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s daily routine, personality, energy level, and any medical needs or behavioral concerns. I’d also love to hear what they enjoy—favorite toys, treats, or any special habits—so I can make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away.

A typical day

It all depends on your pet’s personality and energy level! For cats, I love engaging in gentle play—wand toys, feather chasers, or just letting them “hunt” treats. I also give them time to cuddle or quietly relax if that’s what they prefer. For dogs, walks are a time to explore, sniff, and enjoy the fresh air at their pace. During drop-ins, I can play fetch, give belly rubs, or just keep them company with some calm one-on-one time. Whether playful or shy, every pet gets my full attention and care.

Pet care experience

About Me Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience raising a 12-year-old Pomeranian and a 8-year-old Corgi (now living with my family in China). I truly enjoy caring for pets of all kinds and treat every pet as if they were my own. Why Book With Me: ❤️Can do 1 V 1 take care, pets feel like at home 🐾 Work-from-home availability – I’m home Monday through Friday, which means your pet will get lots of attention and care throughout the day. I do at least three walks daily: morning, afternoon and before bed. And I have a small yard for dog to pee in need. On weekends, I often take dogs to parks or on hiking trails for fun and exercise. 🏡 Clean, safe environment – I take pride in keeping my home tidy and pet-clean&safe at all times. 👦 Pet-loving family – I have a gentle 6-year-old boy who loves animals and enjoys playing with our furry guests. 🐱 Cat-friendly setup – For shy or nervous cats, I can provide a quiet, separate room so they feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet loves cuddles, playtime, or peaceful naps, I’m here to make them feel right at home. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! Note: The listed price applies to dogs under 10 lbs. Prices may vary depending on the size of the dog. Please message me for specific pricing.

This was Prince’s second stay, and it just confirmed how safe and loved he is with her family. She, her husband, and their little one are all so gentle and welcoming. It truly feels like Prince is part of their home when he’s there. I’m grateful to have a sitter I can trust. Thank you Shiyao and Family 😊

Shiyao did an amazing job with Willow! Willow had so much fun and got lots of stimulation, walks, and adventures while in her care. She came home happy and completely tired out. Shiyao sent lots of photos and kept up excellent communication throughout the stay. She was also able to pick Willow up from our house, which made everything super convenient. I would book with her again!

Prince adored his stay. She was incredibly sweet with him and treated him like her own, even letting him snuggle up in bed. We’ll absolutely have her care for Prince again.

SHIYAO was an amazing dog sitter. She was so loving, sweet, and patient with Tito, and always made sure he felt comfortable and at home. She sent lots of pictures and videos, which made me feel constantly connected and reassured. Her husband is also very lovely, and together they created a warm, caring environment. If anyone truly loves and cares for pets, it’s Shiyao. I also love that she welcome us to her house in the first meeting to know where Tito will spend his time there, I found this unique and trustworthy. I will definitely contact her again in the future. 🐶💛
