Availability

I have a stable weekly schedule. I have regular commitments each week, including classes and providing care for people with additional needs, so my availability follows a consistent routine. When I have a period of free time, I’m generally available throughout that period rather than only on certain days or at specific times. This makes my schedule predictable and allows me to provide reliable, consistent care for pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I take pet safety and comfort very seriously. I always make sure the environment is clean, safe, and suitable for each pet, including a comfortable temperature, appropriate humidity, and enough space for rest and play. I adapt easily to each pet’s individual needs and follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding routines, exercise needs, medications when needed, and any special habits or preferences. I also make sure pets have enough food, fresh water, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I aim to maintain their normal routine as much as possible, so they can feel comfortable and secure while in my care.

Information Lixing L. would like to know about your pet

It is very helpful for me to know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions or allergies. It is also important to know their temperament, energy level, and how they usually behave around new people, other animals, or during walks. Please also let me know where they like to be touched and any areas they prefer not to be touched, if any. Details about their favorite toys, comfort habits, walking preferences, and training cues help me make them feel more relaxed and at home while you are away.

A typical day

I like to tailor activities to each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort. For dogs, I enjoy playing with toys, going on safe walks, playing fetch or tug-of-war, practicing tricks, or simply running around to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. For more active dogs, I also enjoy longer walks or structured play sessions to help them burn energy in a positive way. For cats, I focus on interactive play with wand toys, balls, and gentle enrichment activities that encourage their natural hunting instincts. I also have plenty of cat toys that I make myself, which are safe, and my cat absolutely LOVES them and keeps coming back to play! If your cat enjoys trying new toys, just let me know and I’d be happy to bring one along when I visit.

Pet care experience

My goal is to provide calm, safe, and personalized care so every pet feels secure, comfortable, and loved, while giving pet parents peace of mind, convenience, and a sense of connection. With regular updates, thoughtful communication, and attentive care, you can stay connected with your pet wherever you are and enjoy your time away knowing they’re happy, comfortable, and in good hands. I have extensive experience caring for and training different kinds of animals. I have cared for and raised 6+ types of animals, giving me hands-on experience with different personalities, behaviors, and needs. My love for animals brought me here, but my ability to understand them and my responsible, attentive approach are what keep me here. I treat every pet as if they were my own, because each one reminds me of the little ones I have loved and cared for. I am especially good at understanding animals through body language, behavior, and non-verbal communication. I use these signals to help shy animals feel safe, gently correct unwanted behaviors, and help pets better understand the world around them. Through this approach, I have taught my dog to calmly get on the couch, trained my chicken to walk alongside me, taught my cat what is appropriate to play with, and helped many animals learn fun tricks. I have also learned basic pet CPR, as well as pet health and nutrition principles, which help me pay close attention to each pet’s routine, diet, comfort, and individual needs. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can come with worry, questions, and a lot of missing them. That is why I place a strong emphasis on keeping you informed. I pay close attention to changes in your pet’s behavior, routine, appetite, mood, and comfort, and make sure to clearly communicate what I notice. I also respect your home and personal space, so you can feel confident that both your pet and your home are being treated with care and respect. Even when you and your pet are apart, I want you to feel connected, informed, and at ease.

I asked Lixing for drop-in visits during my business trip and she has been very helpful, being always punctual and taking good care of my cats. After each visit she also wrote detailed and thoughtful reports. So I could stay at ease during my absence from home and I’m really grateful for her great job!

I've had a wonderful experience with Lixing (Lydia). She has been incredibly reliable, always punctual, and truly cares about Nutmeg. He absolutely loves his walks with her and is always excited to see her. She has been very accommodating after Nutmeg's neuter surgery. She adjusted his walks to match his recovery schedule and made sure he was comfortable while still getting the exercise he needed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and professional dog walker.

Lixing was diligent, communicative and caring. She followed all instructions carefully. We have a very young puppy and a six year old pug… two dogs with different needs but she gave them both the care and attention they needed.
