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. 🐈⬛🐾😻
Tina was absolutely wonderful! She provided drop-in care for our two cats over the Civic Holiday weekend, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our cats, who are usually shy around new people, warmed up to her quickly — a true testament to her calm and caring nature. We returned to two very happy and well-cared-for kitties. Thank you, Tina, for going above and beyond! We’d gladly book you again in the future.
I highly recommend Shiyu and her husband! They took incredible care of my Bengal cat while boarding her for a week. From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in the best hands. They set up her own private room right away with all the supplies, toys, and her cat bed that I brought, making sure she felt comfortable and at home from the start. They truly went above and beyond—sending me pictures, videos, and thoughtful updates multiple times a day, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It was clear they genuinely love what they do; they took the time to understand her personality and kept her engaged with plenty of playtime and stimulation, which is so important for an active Bengal. My cat came home relaxed, content, and well cared for—I could tell she had a positive experience. If you're looking for someone to treat your pet like family—with genuine care, patience, and excellent communication—Shiyu and her husband are the perfect choice. I will absolutely be booking with them again without hesitation. Thank you for giving me total peace of mind and making sure my fur baby was happy and safe! xo marianna

Schedule
I run my own full-time bakery business, but my schedule is flexible. I’m available for cat boarding, in-home visits, and dog walking any day of the week, as long as bookings are made 1-2 days in advance.

Home characteristics
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.
