I’m currently a student with a very flexible schedule. I have the month of December and early January completely off, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Once the semester begins, I’ll be available reliably during evenings and on weekends.

About Yutao S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every home with respect and professionalism. I’m reliable and discreet, and I understand the importance of privacy and trust when caring for pets in a client’s home. I follow all care instructions closely, maintain a clean and safe environment, and make sure doors, gates, and windows are always secure. I prioritize each pet’s comfort and safety and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
Information Yutao S. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a pet, I like to know their feeding schedule, potty or litter box routine, and any medical needs or medications. I also appreciate learning about their personality, energy level, likes/dislikes, and any behavioral quirks or triggers. Emergency contact information, vet details, and house rules are also helpful so I can provide safe, consistent, and personalized care.
A typical day
A typical day with pets I watch includes plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing fetch or tug, and giving them structured activity to keep them happy and stimulated. For cats, I use interactive toys, laser pointers, and gentle play sessions based on their energy level. I also make time for cuddles, calm time, and enrichment activities so every pet feels safe, engaged, and loved throughout the day.

Your Pet’s Second Favorite Human
Pet care experience
I’m highly attentive and tailor my care to each pet’s energy level and personality. I love actively playing with high-energy dogs and cats while also being patient with shy or anxious pets to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’m comfortable administering medications, carefully follow detailed instructions, and keep feeding areas, litter boxes, and pet spaces meticulously clean to create a healthy, low-stress environment.

Reviews
Yutao was an exceptional cat sitter. Always sending timely updates and communicating if anything seemed concerning/needed clarification. Would absolutely book again.
A sitter you can trust to be attentive and extremely informative.
Yutao was amazing!! I booked overnight/housesitting stays over a weekend, and he provided frequent updates throughout those few days. He was obviously very attentive to my little guy's needs! Can't recommend enough!! ❤️
Yutao was awesome. Responsible, reliable and took great care of our dog
