Availability

I currently work as a freelancer, so my schedule is quite flexible. 🐈 Cat Boarding Drop-off and pickup are generally available between 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM. If possible, I kindly ask that you provide an estimated drop-off and pickup time window within one hour, so I can better schedule my routine. I’ll reach out in advance to coordinate the timing and usually block at least half an hour for drop-off or pickup. You’re always welcome to spend some time with your cat(s) during drop-off or pickup. 🐈‍⬛ Drop-in Visits I mainly cover within a 5-mile radius. My regular time slots are 7:00–7:30 AM, 8:00–8:30 AM, and 9:00–9:30 AM in the morning and 5:00–5:30 PM, 6:00–6:30 PM, and 7:00–7:30 PM in the evening. If you need a different time, feel free to reach out!

Safety, trust & environment

🐈 Cat Boarding I have a dedicated room filled with cat products to help shy cats feel safe and secure (it also works well for little escape artists!). For more sociable cats, they’re welcome to roam freely throughout the house. There are a few of cat beds, scratching posts, a cat tree, and lots of toys to keep them entertained. I live a simple life and spend most of my time at home, giving your cat(s) plenty of quality time. Throughout the day, I provide playtime, petting, brushing, cleaning, and lots of attention. And I usually send you daily updates on your cat(s). Besides, I only take one client at a time, which allows me to provide focused and attentive care. I clean daily, and after each boarding, I do a thorough deep cleaning. 🐈‍⬛ Drop-in Visits I always follow your instructions to care for your cat(s) and make sure your home is kept clean and just as you left it. You’ll receive a Rover card after each visit with photos and notes; unless there’s an issue—in that case, I’ll message you on Rover right away.

Information Yan C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your cat has any special needs, dietary restrictions, medical conditions, or unique behaviors (such as being an escape artist) that I should be aware of. This helps me provide the best possible care and ensure your cat stays safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

A typical day

I start by feeding and refreshing their water, then clean the litter box. Next, I provide playtime and enrichment activities, administer any necessary medications, and offer plenty of affection and attention to ensure their well-being and happiness during the day.

Hey Cats, I'm Your Human!

Cat care experience

When I was growing up, I lived with my grandmother and a cat in a small village. I still remember how the three of us would curl up together during the cold winters to stay warm. Ever since then, my love for cats has never stopped. I didn’t have cats of my own until I got my first job. That spring, a coworker rescued two tiny two-week-old kittens and asked if I wanted one. I immediately said yes! When she later couldn’t keep another one because her husband said no, I ended up adopting both siblings myself. Two years later, one of my interns rescued a black cat but couldn’t take him home after his internship—so I did. That same summer, another coworker saved a very sick street cat. At first, I helped find her an adopter, but after the cat struggled with diarrhea for many days, she was returned to me. In the end, I had four cats of my own, and I lived with them for many wonderful years until they each passed away. They were my cats, and I was their human. After moving to the U.S., I felt it was a big responsibility to adopt again, so instead I started offering cat care for friends, neighbors, and clients. I offer personalized and attentive care to each cat I meet, whether they’re energetic kittens or graceful seniors. My focus is on their comfort, tailoring their diet to their specific needs, and making sure they have plenty of fun and engaging activities. I enjoy spending time with cats, caring for them, giving them attention, and taking photos of them. Life can be tough, but cats always make it easier, softer, and brighter.

I’m so thankful I found Yan! I was stressing over finding care for my very social kitten, and I happened to overhear a conversation at my hair salon about how wonderful their cat sitter was. I asked for the contact, and I’m so glad I did. I boarded my cat for a week with Yan. I found her to be very caring and a natural with cats. You can tell she loves and appreciates them. Her home is outfitted with all the toys, scratching posts, and perches a cat could love. My kitten felt comfortable almost immediately, which I think is a testament to Yan’s vibe. Yan provided daily updates with detailed descriptions of my kitten’s activities, eating, litter, etc. She also sent so many cute pics and videos - some of the best pictures I’ve seen!! I was very anxious about leaving my kitten for the first time. It really was such a comfort and a relief knowing that Yan was taking such good care of her.

My cat is very reserved normally, but around Yan, she responds with meows and purrs and lap rubs. I love that Yan loves my kitty, and cares for her as I would, always providing stunning photos and a detailed note on every visit. She is my “go to” pet sitter every time!
