Highlights
Pet care experience
Patient and engaging
Hi, I’m Yu! I’ve been pet-sitting for friends and family for over 4 years, specializing in creating a calm, stress-free environment for your furry family members. I understand that every pet has a unique personality. When meeting cats, I use a patient, slow-approach method to ensure they feel safe, secure, and never rushed. Once they are comfortable, I love engaging them with playtime and earning their trust. Whether it's a high-energy dog who needs a structured drop-in visit or a shy cat who just needs a gentle companion, I treat every pet with the same love and respect I would my own. I can’t wait to meet your best friend!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Yu was awesome! She agreed to a last-minute dog walk on the 4th of July and exceeded expectations. Would highly recommended her for your pet-caring needs.
She is extremely attentive and dedicated to caring for people's pets. She showed up on time and summarized what happened while I was away. Even though my cat gave her a nasty scratch, she happily returned to care for him again. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I am currently enjoying a flexible summer schedule before transitioning into my full-time corporate role. This means I have wide-open, flexible availability throughout June and July for daytime drop-ins and extended attention. Starting later this summer, my schedule will remain highly stable and predictable: I am fully available for early morning and evening visits on weekdays, and offer open, all-day availability on weekends. Because my upcoming corporate schedule is structured, you can count on me for consistent, reliable routines that your pets can depend on!
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. During every single visit, you can expect detailed check-ins accompanied by plenty of high-quality photos and videos so you can see exactly how your best friend is doing. I am meticulous about following your specific home instructions, ensuring doors are locked, alarms are set, and environments are left clean. As an extra touch, if your pets enjoy grooming, I am more than happy to help with gentle hair-brushing to keep them comfortable and pampered while you are away!
A typical day
A typical drop-in visit is completely tailored to your pet's energy levels and unique personality! For Cats: I start by taking care of the essentials: fresh water, food, and a meticulously scooped litter box. Once the chores are done, the fun begins. For active cats, we’ll do engaging playtime with feather wands, laser pointers, or kicker toys. For shy or independent cats, I practice patient companionship: sitting nearby, speaking softly, and letting them set the pace until they feel safe enough for treats and gentle chin scratches. For Dogs: Every visit starts with a joyful greeting, a fresh water refresh, and a potty break or structured walk to burn off energy. I love incorporating brain games, practicing basic commands with positive reinforcement, and wrapping up the visit with plenty of belly rubs and affection so they feel completely loved until you return.
