Safety, trust & environment

I have two cats at home, both raised by me from birth. They’re like family and follow me everywhere—even sleeping in the same room at night. I’m very familiar with their habits. I’ve also helped friends by hosting their dogs, so I’m experienced with taking them on walks and providing basic care.

A typical day

For dog: we can do during our walk to playe tug-of-war with a rope toy and stopped for some quick fetch with a tennis ball. For cat: we can play feather toy/cat teaser toy around, using pouncing with excitement. We also enjoy cozy moments with gentle belly rubs.

Tina is always my go-to sitter for taking care of my cat during away, she’s caring and thoughtful, she’s the best!

Shiyu was the best cat caretaker I’ve ever had. I’ve been with Shiyu a couple of times now, she’s always caring and supportive for my cat Xiaogou while we were away. She took a lot of pictures and videos and always spends a lot of time playing with Xiaogou during the visits. Absolutely love her, will come back again!

​Shiyu and her partner are absolute gems! They looked after my cat, Misty, for a full month during the busy December 2025 holiday season, and I couldn't have asked for better peace of mind. ​I received detailed daily updates and plenty of photos, which really helped ease my travel anxiety. On the occasions an update was slightly late, Shiyu was incredibly proactive in explaining the delay, so I was never left wondering. ​What impressed me most were their unique observations of Misty. They noticed things only someone truly paying attention would. It’s clear they didn’t just feed her; they truly bonded with her! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pair of dedicated, observant, and communicative sitters.

Shiyu and her partner provided incredible care for our cat Essie while we were out of country for over 2 weeks. They gave us daily updates that were very thoughtful which left us completely at ease that she was in great hands. The room Essie stayed in was large and had its own bed and window which made us so happy that she wouldn’t be cramped into a small space for so long. Thank you so much for your amazing services, we will definitely return back in the future. 🐈‍⬛🐾😻
