12 years of companion care expertise
Pet care experience
I’m a PhD researcher and visiting lecturer at the University of Southampton, based in Newport, South Wales., I maintain a flexible schedule, enabling me to provide exceptional pet care services. With extensive expertise in feline and canine care, encompassing nutrition, behaviour, and hygiene, I've actively participated in rescuing and rehoming cats since 2012, primarily in China. Over the years, I've successfully found loving homes for over 10 rescued cats and have personally raised four of them. Additionally, I've organised fundraising campaigns to support the treatment of injured street cats, gaining firsthand experience in treating Feline Infectious Peritonitis. My experience with dogs has been shaped by caring for friends' pets and learning from veterinarian friends. I derive immense enjoyment from walking and training dogs, approaching each interaction with utmost respect and dedication. With each pet care opportunity, I continue to expand my knowledge and skills, prioritising the well-being and happiness of every furry companion in my care.
Reviews
Highly recommend - great service! Ying-Ying was fantastic with our shy indoor cat. Not only did she make our cat feel at ease but the care taken with tasks like feed, litter and kitty observations were more than expected. We’ll definitely look to book Ying-Ying again!
Ying-Ying was great with Ollie. I had lots of updates whilst I was away and I came back to a very happy dog. The house was left spotless which was fantastic. I would definitely ask Ying-Ying to dog/house sit again.
She looked after both my dogs and did a lovely job as when we came home both dogs were tired and relaxed. So lovely to get the pictures while away as well just gives you a sense of what they have been up to and they look happy which puts you at ease when away from them x would recommend
Ying-Ying was great with my dog. She came to meet her in advance of the walk and on the day I got a photo and text update. Thank you!
About Ying-Ying Y.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a flat so not ideal for dog boarding (especially big and hyper dogs). Please contact me to discuss boarding situations if it’s needed.
Information Ying-Ying Y. would like to know about your pet
Past histories, the dynamic between owner and the dog, nutrition preferences… I am happy to help with any issues that the owner wants to bring up.
A typical day
Owners routine and habits are always put in priority. Personally I believe in award training, unless dominant interactivity is unavoidably required. interactive training and training oriented walks are my favourite activities, I believe these are the most effective communication with dogs.
