Pet care experience

Loving and gentle pet carer with 10 years of exper

I’ve been taking care of pets for around 10 years. I grew up with a Chow Chow, and now my family has a Weimaraner and a British Shorthair cat. Even though they’re back home with my family, I still spend time with them whenever I can — caring for animals has always been something that makes me feel happy and calm.

Want to say a huge thank you. I was let down last minute by our usual sitter but thankfully shiyi was able to help us out. She was very caring and loving and little man settled really quickly. She happily kept me up dated and sent some lovely pics and videos. Honestly can't go wrong with picking her would give higher recommendation if I could. Cheers

Doggy Day Care • Dec 03, 2025

We weren't very satisfied with the experience, as we decided to pick up our doggy earlier than expected which was mentioned to the dog sitter. We waited an hour, as she wouldn't pick up her phone and the Rover Support had to ring as no one heard or seen where our dog was. We personally wouldn't recommend.

Can’t say enough good things about Shiyi!He took amazing care of my pup—super attentive, sent sweet updates, and my dog came home happy and relaxed. Total peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in such great hands. 10/10 recommend!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Hi! I’m Shiyi. I’ve always loved being around animals. they make life so much warmer. I grew up with dogs, and now I live with my own sweet Weimaraner, who’s a big part of my everyday life. If your pet stays with me, I’ll treat them just like my own. I usually take dogs out three times a day, about an hour each time. We walk, play, explore a bit, and just enjoy the fresh air together. I’m at home most of the time, so your pet will never feel lonely here. They’ll get plenty of company, care, and calm attention all day long. I love creating a relaxed space where pets can feel happy, safe, and loved. If you’re looking for someone kind and responsible to look after your pet with real heart, I’d be so happy to help.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a quiet and pet friendly home near Gunwharf Quays, with plenty of open space and safe walking areas nearby. It’s a calm place where pets can relax easily and feel at home. I always keep my space clean, comfortable, and safe for both cats and dogs. When a pet stays with me, I make sure they have their own cozy spot, fresh water, and lots of love and attention. I understand how important trust is, so I keep owners updated with messages and photos, so they always know their pets are happy and well cared for.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is calm, happy, and full of love. I usually take dogs out three times a day ,morning, afternoon, and evening for nice long walks to stretch, play, and explore the neighborhood. Between walks, we enjoy quiet time, gentle play, or just relaxing together at home. For cats, I make sure they have a peaceful environment with enough space and attention. I spend time playing with toys they enjoy, brushing them gently, or simply keeping them company in their favorite cozy spot. Whether dog or cat, I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for.

Please tell me if your pet has any special habits, sensitivities, or routines that I should know about. I’m very gentle and patient with both cats and dogs especially those who are shy or need extra time to warm up. My goal is always to make every pet feel comfortable and happy, just like they’re at home.
