Cat Specialist

Cats are part of the family and I will care for your precious kitties as if they were my own. I’ve been caring for and living with cats since I was 12, including hyperactive kitties and senior cats with tricky meal schedules. As a guardian of two cats myself, I understand the worry of being away from them so I’ll do my best to alleviate your anxiety and take great care of your cats. I’m detail-oriented so you can trust that I will follow your instructions and show your cats the same love and care that you do. I am fluent in Japanese as well so if you would prefer to communicate in Japanese, please let me know. 日本語でのお問い合わせも大歓迎です。

Safety, trust & environment

When I visit, I make sure to be respectful of your home and adhere to your house rules, such as removing shoes, only going where necessary for care, and turning off lights when leaving. If you expect other visitors—including family members, friends, or house cleaners—please let me know in advance to avoid any surprises. To facilitate timely drop-in visits, please provide a reliable parking spot. If only paid parking is available, I will collect the receipt and request reimbursement at the end of the booking. Lastly, please ensure that all cat supplies, such as litter and food, are well-stocked.

Yukie took wonderful care of our cats while we were away again. We loved seeing the photos from her visits and it was clear they were having a great time playing with her and getting lots of attention. It means a lot to know our cats are not just looked after, but genuinely cared for when we’re gone.

Yukie was an amazing cat sitter for our three cats while we were out of town. We really appreciated how she took the time to get to know each of them and gave them plenty of personal attention. She also took great photos that we looked forward to getting after every visit, and it was clear that our cats had a lot of fun playing with her. We highly recommend Yukie to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter who truly knows cats.

Yukie is an incredible pet sitter. I'm an anxious cat mom and Yukie has earned our trust time and again, allowing me to relax on vacations. We are so grateful to have her take care of our pets!

Schedule

I can accommodate drop-ins 7 days a week, including national holidays, typically between 7am and 7pm. Since I often receive requests during breakfast and dinner hours, I might ask you to provide a range of time to better coordinate with other appointments. My service area is generally limited to homes within a 1.5-mile drive from Japantown San Jose. I may still be able to accommodate requests outside this area but an additional charge of $10 per visit will apply.

Cats
Yukie can host up to 7 drop-ins per day
I specialize in caring for cat-only households and would love to learn more about your feline friend. To ensure the best care, please let me know if your cat is an escape artist, has specific dislikes (such as petting or noise), requires a special diet or medication, has favorite toys, enjoys brushing and petting, or prefers solitude. Additionally, any insights about your cat’s previous experiences with sitters would be very helpful. I offer a complimentary 15-30 minute meet-and-greet session at your home before your first booking. This visit allows me to understand your cat’s needs better, collect keys, and make sure everyone feels comfortable while you’re away.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 cat, including a booking fee of 11%.
