About Yiwen
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 5 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), with a minimum of 3 nights. My preference is for longer stays as this reduces the frequency of moving in/out. 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 part time and will be out of the house on most evenings (around 6pm - 10.30pm). I will be able to bring your pet on walks minimally twice a day (eg. morning and late afternoon/late night). Nevertheless it would be best if your pet is able to be left unaccompanied at home for up to 8h as I usually have a packed schedule on weekends.
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. I'll also be glad to help collect mail, water plants and do other simple home chores. Rest assured that your home and kitchen will be maintained in tip top condition! Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

Reviews
Yiwen is just amazing! I've never left my pets with a pet sitter before; and I was so nervous about being away from them for so long, but Yiwen easily made me feel comfortable with leaving them in her care. She sent daily updates; including pics or videos of them, and I could tell they were happy and being well cared for. After the first or second day of being away, I felt so at ease and actually enjoyed my trip without stressing or worrying about them. One of my cats does not like strangers, but after the first day, she had warmed up to Yiwen and was so comfortable being around her (that made me so happy to see).
She was thorough in making sure she had all the information she needed to properly care for them while I was away. She was also a very courteous house guest and very respectful of our place.
I will definitely be using Yiwen anytime I need a pet sitter. I can't say enough nice things about her. If you need a pet sitter that will take the absolute best care of your pets, then be sure to book Yiwen!!
I had a relative who had been looking after my cats whenever I went overseas. Ever since he passed on, I have not travelled for 4 years as I couldn't find somebody I could trust to look after my beloved cats while I'm away. One day, my niece told me about Pawshake. I looked it up. After going through so many pet sitters' profiles, I finally took the plunge with Yiwen, whom I felt suited my needs.
We set up our 1st meeting at my home for Yiwen to meet my 4 adult cats, which 1 of the cat, Prince, is already 17 years old & I was worried for him as he only drinks through a syringe since kitten. Yiwen came & immediately I felt comfortable with her while introducing my 4 cats to her & letting her know the different habits & characters of my cats. 1 of my cats, Wang Wang, has OCD, while another senior cat, Sharpie, has mild CKD and needs to be fed Renal diet.
But after an hour or so, going through the caring process, Yiwen & I agreed with the arrangements to pet sit my cats during my absence for 17 days from Oct 24 to Nov 9, 2023.
It was the best decision I've made to engage Yiwen to look after my cats. She updated me every day & even took photos of them in which I felt at ease & comforted. On the 6th day, Yiwen let me know that Prince, the oldest, was not eating well & looking unwell. Immediately, I told her I'd contact my cat's Vet Doctor & made arrangements for her to bring Prince for doctor's consultation. She brought Prince to the veterinarian clinic & stayed with him. I was grateful & really appreciate what Yiwen had done on my behalf. I am so glad that Prince is OK after my return. Yiwen has looked after all my 4 cats well & loved them on my behalf while I was away for 17 days. She had even managed to take such candid & cute photos of my cats of which I will always treasure & remember.
I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a house pet sitter & who is sceptical at first like me. Yiwen is trustworthy, and I would definitely engage her again to house sit my cats the next time I go overseas. Yiwen, thanks once again for giving me a stress free overseas trip. Really appreciate 🙏
