Pet care experience

Reliable cat sitter

I have my own cat, Rice, a domestic short-haired cat I adopted. I offer attentive and loving cat care, including feeding, playtime, brushing, cleaning the litter tray, and making sure your cat feels safe and relaxed. I’m also very happy to give hugs and cuddles — this part is for free because I truly love spending time with cats!

Xiaoya is amazing! She is very patient, professional, and genuinely caring with cats. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her!

I honestly could not have asked for a better cat sitter than Xiaoya. I had to leave my cat while I was away on holiday and, as I did not have anyone else available to look after him, I was naturally a little worried about leaving him. Xiaoya took absolutely fantastic care of him from start to finish. She made sure he was well fed, drinking properly, comfortable, happy and using his litter tray normally. She also kept me regularly updated with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the updates that he was relaxed, happy and having a genuinely good time with her. Xiaoya treated him with so much care and attention, and I felt completely reassured knowing he was in such good hands. I genuinely could not have asked for anyone better to look after him. I am extremely grateful for how well Xiaoya cared for him and I would 100% trust her with him again. I will definitely be using her again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and attentive cat sitter.

Omg, when I tell you I was so stressed leaving Gucci with a stranger (something I’ve never done before). I also had extreme anxiety about my cat getting out and getting lost. This was not the case at all! Xiaoya, you are a dream!! Thank you so much for looking after my baby girl. I got video and photo updates all the time, plus so much reassurance that I was actually able to enjoy my time away knowing she was in great hands. 10/10 service, 10/10 communication. The cat sitter of my dreams!! No exaggeration!! Thank you so much ❤️

Xiaoya looked after Poki for 20 nights, and I could not have asked for a better experience. When I picked him up, he seemed so happy, relaxed, and comfortable, which honestly says everything. Throughout the whole stay, Xiaoya sent me daily pictures and videos, kept me updated regularly, and was always very reassuring and attentive. It really gave me peace of mind knowing Poki was in such caring hands. Thank you again Xiaoya for taking such great care of him. I will definitely book with you again in the future.

I’ve known Xiaoya since our university days, and I can confidently say she is one of the most responsible and caring people I know. She truly loves animals and treats pets with patience, kindness, and attention. One summer, I asked Xiaoya to take care of my cat for about a month while I was away. She did an amazing job — making sure my cat was well fed, the litter tray was clean, and that my cat had plenty of playtime and affection. She also kept me updated regularly, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. When I came back, my cat was relaxed, healthy, and clearly very comfortable with her. Xiaoya is reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet caregiver.

Schedule

I’m currently a PhD student at UCL, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time at home. This means I can spend lots of time keeping your cat company and making sure they’re well cared for, comfortable, and happy.

Safety, trust & environment

I have my own cat, Rice — she is neutered, very friendly, and has lived with other cats before, so she’s easy-going and can happily keep your cat company. My apartment is spacious (around 50 square metres) with a good-sized living room, and I have plenty of cat trees, scratching boards, and toys to keep your cat entertained and comfortable during their stay.
