• Hi, I'm Zi Jing, you can also call me Tissue. I believe every being is fully capable of experiencing loneliness, fear, joy and other emotions, and each also has the right to live out our lives free from suffering and exploitation. It is important to understand the unique needs and characteristics of every encounter, in order to create experiences according to the needs of each companion animal, and listening/adhering to their unspoken comfort/discomfort. Personally, I live with my shy and quiet mid-size rescued Singapore Special, Eli who is low aggression and has no biting experience, but scared of other dogs and lightning.

Services Provided:

• Dog walking - can help to ensure your dog gets sufficient exercise, positive environmental stimulation & socialisation. Each walk is about 30min depending on each individual's needs (if your dog has medical issues that require shorter walks, just let me know)

• House visits for dogs - 30 to 45 minutes that include playtime, pets, treats, basic training for recap/stimulation, feeding and cleaning. Can also include 1 x quick 5min pee break downstairs too. (Please select this if you can fulfil the more important longer walks for your dog(s) at other timings of the day)

• House visits for cats, hamsters, birds, terrapins, etc - include playtime, feeding and cleaning.

• Open to care for plants as long there's specific instructions and also small errands like collection of parcels from the guardhouse

• Let me know in advance each of their comfort level to strangers, potential aggression, separation anxiety if any, and other needs. Feeding, cleaning and head/neck scratches if they like those as well ~ :)

• Each pre-meeting (at least 15min) is $10. Repeat clients won't be charged for future access card/key collection.
