What the YumShare Solo can schedule
The YumShare Solo lets you schedule up to 10 meals per day through the PETKIT app, with each meal adjustable up to 1/2 cup. That range gives you room to build a simple automatic cat feeder schedule that fits your cat's routine without overcomplicating it.
Before you start tapping through the app, decide on a realistic meal plan. The feeder handles the timing and portions you set—it does not calculate a diet for your cat. If you are unsure how much or how often to feed, ask your veterinarian. The app is a scheduling tool, not a source of feeding advice.
How to program a YumShare Solo feeding schedule
The steps below assume you have the feeder set up and connected to the PETKIT app. Keep your cat's current feeding routine nearby so you can translate it into scheduled meals.
- Open the PETKIT app and select your YumShare Solo: Make sure the feeder is online and paired. If it is not connected, finish pairing first—the schedule lives in the app, not on a physical dial.
- Create a meal and set the time: Add each meal at the time you want it dispensed. You can schedule up to 10 meals per day, so start with the meals your cat already expects and adjust from there.
- Choose the portion size: Set each meal up to 1/2 cup. Keep portions consistent with what your cat normally eats, and remember that the feeder dispenses dry, freeze-dried, or air-dried food with kibble under 12mm.
- Save and review the full day: Check that the meals are spaced as intended and that no meal exceeds the 1/2 cup limit. The app shows your schedule so you can confirm it before relying on it.
- Test one meal before trusting the schedule: Run a manual dispense or wait for the first scheduled meal to confirm the portion looks right in the bowl. This is also a good time to check that food flows smoothly through the dispenser.
Choosing a portion size that fits your cat
The YumShare Solo's 1/2 cup per-meal limit is a hardware constraint, not a feeding recommendation. Your cat's appropriate portion depends on age, weight, activity, and the food you use. The feeder does not override your judgment—it repeats the portion you set.
A practical approach is to divide your cat's daily food amount into the number of meals you want to serve, then set each meal accordingly. If your cat's daily amount exceeds what 10 meals at 1/2 cup can hold, the feeder is not the limiting factor for that plan—but you should confirm your feeding plan with your vet rather than stretching the schedule to fit.
Timer setup and power reliability
The YumShare Solo uses a dual power system: it runs on mains power and includes battery backup that supports a week's worth of battery-operated food dispensing. That backup matters for a petkit feeder timer setup because scheduled meals depend on the feeder staying powered. If the power goes out, the battery backup helps keep meals on time.
The app is where you set and adjust the timer. There is no separate physical timer dial described in the supplied information. If you need to change a meal time, do it in the app and then confirm the updated schedule.
YumShare Solo specs that affect scheduling
- YumShare Solo: Schedules up to 10 meals per day and up to 1/2 cup of food each time via the PETKIT App. This defines the outer limits of any feeding schedule you build in the app.
YumShare Solo - YumShare Solo: 101oz (3L) capacity, enough for 15 days of feeding an adult cat. A larger hopper means fewer refills, but the 15-day figure is a capacity guide—not a feeding instruction for your cat.
- YumShare Solo: Compatible with dry, freeze-dried, and air-dried pet food (kibble under 12mm). Food type and kibble size affect whether the feeder can dispense your chosen portions reliably.
- YumShare Solo: Dual power system with a week's worth of battery-operated food dispensing. Battery backup helps maintain the schedule during a power interruption.
Keeping the schedule reliable day to day
The YumShare Solo uses a generation 2 enhanced impeller and a larger dispenser chute intended to prevent kibbles from getting stuck. Even so, check the chute and bowl periodically, especially when you switch food. The food-grade coated 304 stainless steel bowl is easy to clean and helps maintain hygiene between meals.
The Triple Fresh-lock System is designed to keep moisture and insects out and food dry and fresh longer. That supports the feeder's role in a daily routine, but it does not replace regular cleaning or monitoring. If you notice missed meals or inconsistent portions, review the app schedule first, then inspect the dispenser and food supply.
