Hello! I am a dog lover and used to have a golden retriever named Lucie. She was well-loved and lived 13 good years, before passing away 4 years ago. Prior to Covid I have been petsitting for about 2 years, and meeting new furry friends has really helped bring back a spark to my life.
I currently only offer home sitting services (staying over at your home to care for your pet). Now that overseas travel is finally possible, I would love to help take care of your home and pets while you are away, and I'm comfortable with longer stays. Dogs and cats (all sizes and breeds) are welcome, but I'm happy to consider other pets too. I exercise quite a lot, so if your dog requires long walks or runs (or swimming at the beach!), it's no problem at all.
I currently work full time in the public sector, working from office 2 times a week and from home the rest of the week. Hence I am only able to accept pets who can be left alone during work hours (around 9am-6pm). I will be able to feed and bring your pet on walks twice a day - before and after work hours, and also any other times if working from home. I am glad to help collect your mail, water your plants and do other simple home chores!
As a former urban planner, home and pet sitting is also a great opportunity for me to live in and experience different neighbourhoods in Singapore. My only request is to be able to use your kitchen and oven because I'm an avid baker/cake decorator, and typically cook all my meals as well. Rest assured that your home and kitchen will be maintained in tip top condition! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend!
Yiwen was very good with our dogs. She sent photo/video updates on how they were doing. I'm sure they miss her already :) She also kept the house very neat and tidy. Will definitely recommend her to others!
We engaged Yiwen to look after our two ageing dogs at our house in Upper Thomson while we visited the UK for two weeks. From the start, Yiwen’s manner and communication was excellent, sending us daily updates and photos of our pets either at home or on their daily walks.
Yiwen also helpfully addressed some household chores, such as watering our plants or preparing a package that was due to be collected by a courier.
Overall, we found Yiwen to be a pleasant, caring, and intelligent young woman whom we would happily recommend to anyone.
