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!

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 provided the most amazing care for our playful girl, Emmy! They were very communicative and sent us lots of pics! We felt so good that our baby was in such good hands and will definitely be booking with their family again. 10/10 recommend Karthik and Xiao!
Karthik and family took great care of our boy Tide. They shared tons of pictures and were super easy to work with. Tide had a great time playing with their dogs. We will definitely reach out to Karthik and Xiao when we need pet care for Tide next time. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter
Karthik and Xiao were absolutely wonderful with my two dogs, Polly and Milo! I booked Milo's stay last minute for the 4th of July weekend, and when Polly's original arrangement fell through, they graciously agreed to host her as well. It was such a relief to have both dogs in one place with people I could trust. They made Polly and Milo feel completely at home — I could tell the dogs were relaxed, happy, and well cared for the entire stay. I highly recommend Karthik and Xiao to anyone looking for kind, flexible, and attentive pet sitters. We'll definitely be booking with them again!
I couldn’t have asked for a better boarding experience for my puppy! He stayed for 4 days, and I had complete peace of mind throughout his stay thanks to the regular updates and pictures they sent. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable he was. My Shih Tzu is a very picky eater, and they went above and beyond to accommodate his needs. They even cooked fresh chicken for him every day to make sure he ate well. That level of care, patience, and attention truly meant a lot to me. It’s clear they genuinely treat every dog like family. My pup came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. It honestly feels like he’s found a second home, and whenever I need boarding in the future, I would absolutely want him to stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet as if it were their own!
