Pet care experience

Cat-Savvy care you can trust

Cats have been a huge part of my life for over 20 years. In addition to caring for my own cats, I’ve also cared for friends’ cats while they were away and volunteer at local cat adoption events. Supporting animal rescue is something I truly care about, and I’m passionate about giving every cat the patience and respect they deserve. I understand feline body language and know that cats communicate in subtle ways. I pay close attention to their behavior, litter box habits, appetite, energy level, and overall mood to recognize when something may be different from their normal routine. I’m experienced with kittens, adult cats, and senior cats, including giving medications and supplements and following detailed care instructions. Cleanliness is also very important to me—I always keep food and water bowls clean, refresh water regularly, and maintain a tidy litter box. Playtime is never just “waving a wand toy around.” I enjoy engaging cats in ways that mimic their natural hunting instincts and always adapt my approach to each cat’s personality and comfort level. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, respected, and cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Before our first visit, I like to spend time getting to know both you and your cat. I’ll ask detailed questions about your cat’s personality, daily routine, favorite foods and toys, health history, medications, habits, and any special preferences or concerns. Based on everything we discuss, I’ll confirm a personalized care plan with you so we’re both on the same page before your trip. During each visit, I’ll provide photo and video updates, along with notes about your cat’s appetite, litter box habits, playtime, mood, and overall wellbeing. My goal is not only to care for your cat, but also to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away.

Xiaoqing was absolutely wonderful with my cats. From the updates she sent, it was obvious that she genuinely cared about them and took the time to make sure they were comfortable and happy, not just fed and checked on like some of the sitters that I used to have. Her updates were amazing. She kept me informed about how much each cat ate, which I really appreciated, especially since one of my cats can be a picky eater. She also took the best photos and videos. They weren't just cute, they really let me see how my cats were doing and made being away so much easier. She also went above and beyond in so many ways. She kept the litter boxes incredibly clean, cleaned the cats' water fountain, cleaned up a hairball one of them threw up, and even cleaned the floor afterward without me asking. It's clear she pays attention to the little details and treats your home and pets as if they were her own. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, spotless litter boxes, and a home that was just as clean as when I left. I feel so lucky to have found Xiaoqing and wouldn't hesitate to book her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly loves and cares for animals.

Xiaoqing took care of my cat, Rex, several times while I was away over the past few years. She not only did everything I asked her to do, but also went the extra mile to make sure Rex was happy. For example, she brushed his fur, played with him, and gave him treats. Xiaoqing's care for cats comes from her true affection for them. She has two cats of her own and has extensive knowledge of cat behavior as well as cat care products. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring cat sitter.

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate weekday and weekend visits with advance notice. I generally prefer appointments between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, and I appreciate at least three days’ notice whenever possible. Because I plan my day around my pets’ routines, I’m used to maintaining consistent feeding schedules, medication times, and enrichment activities. I always make time to provide attentive, unrushed care and thoughtful updates during every visit.
