Yujia

*Living in DT TO for January-early March; available to do short dog/cat-care visits in the area upon request; looking for long-term placements starting March. Thanks for your messages and consideration, and looking forward to meeting you.

Currently living in Toronto and working in arts/culture; have lived across 6 different countries and love connecting with different minds and spaces. I'm a nomad at heart and extremely adaptable and flexible, and live with intuition and organization.

I'm very responsible, easy-going, communicative, and have strong coordination skills to find solutions and ensure the best care of one's home and cherished fur babies. I have an affectionate ginger cat that came into my home in Beijing and that I brought back to Canada and lives happily with family members. I'm very intentional about giving the best nutrition and exercise for pets and cultivating a loving environment for them. I have cooked & done meal prep for my own cat (living with family now) over an extended period and I am a keener researcher/learner in how to best optimize their living conditions. I have hosted on Airbnb and have also been on the other end of asking friends to cat-sit so I understand the needs on both sides.

I'm more than happy to send updates via photos/videos daily or more of your loved fur babies. I can also take care of plants, collect mail, facilitate anything while you are away. I also have experience taking care of rescue cats, senior cats (18+) and cats with medical needs (asthma with daily puffer) for over 4 months at a time. I understand the responsibility, priority of company and care and making sure fur babies feel safe and stimulated with play. I am comfortable staying in both buildings or houses and am very friendly with neighbours and aware of home maintenance.

I believe in chance encounters, sharing economy, community building with curiosity, trust, and respect - I'm available to meet in person in advance to see if this can work out mutually. Thanks for considering me and warm wishes.
