Highlights
Pet care experience
Genuine, enthusiastic animal lover
***Current availability: I work full-time on weekdays, and will typically have to be in office or commuting (away from the home) from 7:30 am - 4:30 pm. Therefore for house sits during the week, I can only accept pets that can be left alone for ~9 hours. On weekends, I'm usually available all day.*** Hello! I go by Tracy (preferred) or Yin (legal, required by Rover on sitter profiles), both are fine. :) Growing up, I've never had pets of my own due to restrictions at home, so I took every opportunity possible to pay my neighbours' and friends' furry companions visits, as well as volunteering at animal shelters and rescues. I am a huge animal lover who enjoys working with all kinds of pets! With dogs, I have experience walking and house sitting for all types of dogs, from larger breeds like Chow Chows to mid-sized Golden Retrievers to small pups like Pomeranians. I am organized, diligent, detail-oriented, and able to provide consistent care for pups that like to be on a schedule. I have plenty of experience caring for dogs that need oral medication. I'm still learning a lot about doggy behaviours and am not a professional trainer, but I'm extremely good at following instructions and am confident in paying attention to the different needs of each individual dog. I have a lot more experience with cats, having cat-sit for friends on vacations (longest up to 2 months), and I am currently a volunteer at a Vancouver cat rescue with the role of caring for the kitties in our rescue centre before they go on to foster or forever homes. Again I'm very patient with plenty of experience caring for more skittish/fractious/anxious cats. In terms of more exotic pets, I also have experience with rats, chinchillas, snakes, and lizards.

Ratings and reviews
Yin was super caring and professional. She learned how to deliver Vesper’s asthma medicine through an inhaler and was persistent and knowledgeable in trying new ways to ensure Vesper was comfortable and successful in the process. She was also an excellent communicator. We would love to have her back.
Yin stayed with our cat over the weekend and was very communicative, polite with our space, and attentive to Nari. She played with her a lot and sent us tons of photos. I think our cat was spoiled with love!
Yin is communicative, responsible and dependable as usual. Thanks so much for taking care of our old girl!
Yin’s second stay with my cats- she was just as attentive and I really appreciated how much she wanted to get to know their individual personalities and connect with them. Will definitely book again when future needs arise.
Yin is a pleasure to deal with. She took great care of my cats and is enthusiastic to learn all about them and their individual personalities. Have already rebooked with her and would recommend to others!
Thank you so much Yin for looking after our little chinchilla yet again! This is our third chin-sitting session with Yin and we could not be happier. Little beast received the best care and a had great time with Yin. We will definitely be asking Yin to sit Pushinka again and again. Thank you Yin for taking such a loving care of the chinchilla and our garden too!
