Safety, trust & environment

How I care for pets in a client’s home really depends on the service you need and your pet’s unique personality. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, gentle playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I follow your instructions closely. I’m happy to stick to your pet’s usual routine so they feel secure and at ease while you’re away.

Information Xiaoying J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet's feeding schedule, any dietary restrictions, and their exact medication instructions if applicable. It’s also helpful to know their favorite hiding spots (especially for shy cats!), where clean-up supplies are located, and how they typically react to visitors entering the home.

A typical day

Since I specialize strictly in drop-in visits, a typical day for me revolves around making my scheduled house visits timely and seamless. During each 30 or 60-minute visit, I focus entirely on your pet's happiness and well-being. This includes standard care like feeding, fresh water, and cleaning litter boxes or yard potty breaks, followed by high-quality playtime and mental stimulation. For senior pets, I offer calm, soothing companionship and carefully administer any needed oral medications. I always conclude the visit by ensuring your home is locked up safe and sending you a complete photo update!

Gentle, Responsible

Cat care experience

I have over 2 years of professional petsitting experience, specializing in providing tailored care for cats and dogs of all life stages. My experience ranges from looking after energetic 5-month-old kittens to providing gentle, specialized comfort for senior cats up to 23 years old. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and pace, and I pride myself on my ability to adapt to their specific comfort levels and routines. What sets me apart is my focus on stress-free, specialized in-home care: Senior & Kitten Care Expert: Having cared for a 23-year-old senior cat, I am highly sensitive to the needs of aging pets, including monitoring mobility, appetite, and comfort. I’m also experienced in managing kitten energy safely. Oral Medication Administration: I am skilled and confident in administering oral medications (pills/liquid) directly by mouth for cooperative, non-aggressive cats and dogs. 100% Focused on Drop-Ins: Because I don’t divide my time with outdoor walking or boarding, your pets get my undivided attention and a highly structured, reliable routine during my visits.

Amazing sitter! Very communicative and attentive. Xiaoying also provided plenty of pictures of my cat while I was away. I would definitely rebook.

She is wonderful! Even was able to help me out last minute when my flight got delayed. She was attentive thorough and gave me great detail when visiting my two 18 year old kitties-1 of whom requires twice daily insulin injections. I totally trust her with my boys and will definitely book her again!!

Each sitter joining needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Cat in a Flat, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
