Highlights
Pet care experience
Offering 1 on 1 care
-- House Sitting -- I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve also looked after large dogs, sheep, chickens, and ducks while living on a farm for several months. I work from home, so I can easily keep up with feeding schedules, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I love playing with dogs, giving them hugs, and relaxing or sleeping together. On walks, I stay alert for other dogs, cars, and animals, keeping a safe distance when needed. I also give dogs plenty of time to sniff, explore, and enjoy nature safely. Depending on their energy level, I’m happy to take them on relaxed walks or runs. I wash food and water bowls before every meal to keep them clean and fresh. If preferred, I also tidy up and wash the sheets before leaving. I’m a photographer, so I tend to take lots of photos and share them with owners while they’re away. I look forward to caring for well-trained pets and giving them plenty of love and attention. -- Cat Boarding at My Home -- Welcome to my quiet, open studio! I only board one cat at a time, so your cat will receive my full attention. There are no other pets, children, or live plants in my home. To make packing easier, I can provide an automatic litter box, corn litter, food and water bowls, a bed, scratching pad, and toys. You only need to bring your cat's food. I'm also a photographer, so I love taking lots of photos and will send you regular updates. My home has an open layout, making it easy for me to keep an eye on your cat. There are no stairs or elevators, so drop-off and pickup are simple. A large window overlooks the backyard, where cats enjoy watching birds, squirrels, and rabbits. Many cats also love the space under the bed, where they can relax and feel secure. I prefer cats that don't wake people during the night or scratch furniture.

Ratings and reviews
Yu was a wonderful sitter for our cat, Miso! She sent us frequent updates and photos and it was clear that Miso quickly felt very comfortable with her! We will not hesitate to book Yu again in the future!
Yu was amazing!!! I had a super last-minute booking and she seriously saved the day. I really appreciated how attentive and communicative she was, especially while helping me out in a tight spot. It made the whole situation so much less stressful. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 😊 Kaiju was happy and even roamed around I was so happy.
Yuma took such great care of my dog... Winnie. Communication was amazing, and totally felt comfortable having her staying in my home and watching my girl!
As always, Yu went above and beyond to make Finn comfortable and happy at her house. She carefully followed the specific feeding instructions for his digestive issues. She also sent lots of updates and pictures of a very happy, comfy, and purring Finn. He can't wait for his next stay with Yu!
This past weekend, I traveled to Seattle to attend the World Cup matches. It was the first time I had ever left my little puppy with a dog sitter, so finding someone who was genuinely caring and trustworthy was incredibly important to me. I submitted a last-minute request through the Rover app, and Lu M responded almost immediately early that morning and gladly accepted. She took amazing care of my puppy and kept me updated by sending lots of photos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I saw him .he was happy, relaxed, and clearly felt safe and comfortable with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. Thank you so much, Lu M, for your kindness, care, and responsibility. If I ever return to Seattle, I will definitely book with you again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and dependable dog sitter! Thank you, Lu M
Yu did an amazing job with constant updates and communication!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safty Food: For wet food, I keep the remaining opened food in the fridge with a cover. The food bowl is washed every day. Water is refreshed everyday. Environment: Litters are automatically cleaned immediately after every use. I use Litter Robot 4. I put up a net by the door to block kitties from escaping. I also keep the door tight when entering and leaving to make sure cats stay inside. There is a camera to monitor kitties when I am out. My home is very clean. The carpet was shampooed in Apr 2024. Floors are vacuumed a few times a week. (I vacuum less when a cat is here. I want them to enjoy more peace). Medical: I can give oral medicine. If they don't like it, I smash the pills, and mix in food to make sure they stay healthy. I can also give eye ointment.
A typical day
Activities In a typical day, me and a cat wake up in the same bed. I prepare their breakfast and mine. We both eat and play for a bit. After that I would start working. Eating time is at any preferred schedule. If they let me, I will hold them all day. I have a 3 way tunnel and a feather toy for energetic kitties. I play with them daily to exercise their muscles. For low energy kitties, they usually just lay on top of me and get lots of pets. For shy cats, I give them space to get comfortable. I talk to them nicely and give them treats periodically to gain trust. I also play cat calming music to help them relax.
