Availability
We are a husband and wife team, and we both work full-time from home. This allows us to fit pet care seamlessly into our daily routine. Because we are home all day, your dog receives constant companionship and potty breaks every 2–4 hours to keep them active. In the evenings, work stops and family time begins. Your dog will hang out with us for cuddles and relaxation. We have a huge yard for fetch, but we are also happy to incorporate brief neighborhood walks if that is what your dog prefers.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is our top priority. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can run freely, but we are weather-aware; if it gets cold or uncomfortable, everyone comes back inside to get cozy immediately. Your dog will have two built-in best friends here: Sammy (our Pomapoo) is the 'queen bee' who loves to hang by my side, while Kylo Ren (our Pyrenees/Lab) is the playful social butterfly who loves having a running mate. We have a curious but calm 4-year-old daughter who is dog-savvy and gentle. We believe in active supervision and ensure interactions between dogs and children are always monitored to keep everyone safe. We also send daily photos and videos so you can see exactly how much fun your pup is having!
Home
Information Karthik & Xiao S. would like to know about your pet
To ensure your pet feels right at home, please share their typical daily routine - including feeding habits, sleeping arrangements, and potty schedule. It is also helpful to know how they interact with children and other dogs, along with any dietary restrictions or special quirks we should be aware of to make their stay perfect!
A typical day
Your dog will never be bored here! Since we have a large, fenced-in yard, the main event is plenty of outdoor time playing fetch and running around. If you are comfortable with it, I am happy to drive them to the local dog park for a change of scenery, or we can stick to sniff-walks around our quiet neighborhood. Inside, the fun continues with our two dogs. Kylo (our Lab/Great Pyrenees mix) is essentially a built-in playmate who will keep your dog entertained, while Sammy ensures everyone stays in line. Whether your dog loves high-energy wrestling or just hanging out in the yard, they will fit right in.

Pet care experience
We are a husband and wife team, and we both work full-time from home, your pup will rarely be left alone. We have extensive experience raising dogs of vastly different personalities and sizes under one roof. We own Sammy, a small Pomeranian Poodle mix, and Kylo Ren, a large Lab/Great Pyrenees gentle giant. Because we live with both a toy breed and a giant breed, we are comfortable handling dogs of any size. We also have a 4-year-old daughter who has grown up with animals; she is incredibly gentle, respectful, and knows how to give dogs their space, making our home a warm, family-friendly environment.
Reviews
Karthik & Xiao were excellent dog sitters for our pup Ace. They kept us updated on how Ace was doing and even shared pics of Ace having fun with their own pup. Would definitely recommend 5/5
That was a great stay for Sky! Karthik and his family were amazingl. They sent us pics throughout the time we were away, which really put our minds at ease. Sky clearly had a blast, made some new friends, and came home super happy.
We had a great experience! They took care of our pup for 3 nights and were incredibly friendly and easy to communicate with. We really appreciated the daily photo updates—it gave us so much peace of mind seeing how happy and well cared for she was while we were away. It’s clear they genuinely care about the animals they watch. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter!
We left Leo with Karthik and Xiao for the day and had a wonderful experience! They sent lots of pictures and updates, and it was clear Leo was having a great time and was very well cared for. They were also very accommodating when our pickup was delayed a little, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely leave Leo with them again and highly recommend them!
