Great News for Pet Owners in Chiang Mai: Free Pet Sitting starting July 2025!

Attention all cat and dog parents in Chiang Mai! If you're looking for a caring and experienced pet sitter, I have great news for you. Starting in July 2025, I'll be offering FREE live-in pet sitting services in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in return for accomodation (cat & dog sitting, birds, rodents, fish and more).

Trusted professional pet sitting, free of charge!

Who Am I?

I'm Julia, a long term traveler and passionate animal lover & professional cat sitter from Germany with many years of experience caring for pets worldwide. Since 2015, I've been offering live-in pet-sitting services all over the globe (Singapore, Italy, Greece, China, Netherlands, ...), and since 2019, I've worked professionally as a self employed cat sitter in Germany. My journey with pets has been deeply rewarding, and now I'm thrilled to bring my services to Chiang Mai, a place that mesmerizes me every time.

When I first visited Chiang Mai in 2014 I instantly fell in love and have returned many times since then, indulging in Khao Soi, bbq skewers and aimlessly wandering the streets inside and outside the old city walls. I'm offering free pet sits because I want to spend more time immersing in the area, further exploring the culture, cuisine and sights of Chiang Mai. Why offer pet sits free of charge? I receive accommodation in return, making it a mutually beneficial arrangement for both pet owners and myself. Win-win!

What I Offer

 I provide attentive and loving care for your furry (or feathered or scaly) friends, ensuring they are happy and comfortable while you're away. My services include:
  • Cat sitting & dog sitting as well as caring for other pets (rodents, fish, birds, and more) in your home 🐶🐱🐹🐰🦜🐍🐟

  • ❤️ Feeding, playtime, and companionship. I'll take care of your little one's daily routine as usual, including going for walks, cleaning litter boxes, brushing, etc. I'm also happy to take your pet to the groomers, vet or any other appointments if needed during my stay

  • 💊 Administering medication (except injections)

  • 🏡 Continuous overnight stay: Your home becomes my home base for the duration of your trip, enabling me to give your pets an everyday-life-as-usual routine with lots of attention in their own territory – minimizing stress for your fur kids while you're away

  • 📱 Daily updates via WhatsApp with photos and videos so you always know they are happy and safe – peace of mind guaranteed!

  • 🌿 Bringing in the mail and taking care of plants if needed. I have a green thumb btw!

What I Expect

To ensure a great experience for both your pets and myself, I have a few expectations:

  • 🗓️ Minimum duration: 1 week.

  • 🧭 Flexibility: While I am dedicated to your pets, I may take occasional day (not overnight) trips to explore other parts of the island or mainland.

  • 📋 Clear pet care instructions: This helps me provide the best possible care for your pets.

  • 🛏️ A comfortable living space: A clean, safe, and comfortable place to stay during the sit.

  • 🛜 Reliable WiFi: Since I also work remotely, I need stable internet access.

  • 🚫 No cameras inside: Privacy is important. If I find indoor cameras during a sit, the arrangement will be canceled immediately.

How It Works

  1. First Contact: Reach out to me (see below) to check availability and discuss your pet's needs.

  2. Meet & Greet: We can have a video call or an in-person meeting at your home (if I'm already nearby) to ensure it's a good fit for both sides.

  3. Key Handover & Instructions: We'll arrange how to hand over the keys and go through all necessary pet care instructions. You'll provide vet details and any trusted contacts in case of emergencies among other important information about your pet.

  4. During the Sit: I'll stay in touch with you via WhatsApp, sending daily updates with photos and videos of your pets, while you enjoy your trip.
