Availability

Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I already care for my own two dogs every day. I’m generally available throughout the weekdays and on Saturdays. I have a flexible schedule, with the exception of Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons when I have prior commitments. Outside of that, I’m able to provide consistent care, walks, and attention throughout the day.

Information Shichen X. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for any dog, I like to understand their routine, personality, and any special needs. This includes their feeding schedule, energy level, behavior around other dogs, and any medical or dietary requirements. I also like to know what makes them feel comfortable — whether it’s their favorite toys, habits, or anything that might cause stress — so I can make their stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

A typical day

I love making sure every dog feels happy, engaged, and at home while they’re with me. Depending on their personality and energy level, we’ll enjoy a mix of fun and relaxing activities together.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with large breeds and multi-dog households. I currently care for two dogs of my own — an Alaskan Malamute and a young Samoyed — so I’m very comfortable managing different energy levels, personalities, and routines. I have experience with both puppies and adult dogs, including basic training reinforcement, socialization, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m also attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means active play, structured walks, or a calm, low-stress environment. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a safe, loving, and well-balanced home while they’re with me.

I have known Brant Xia for several years, and his exceptional care for his dog, Siku, makes him an outstanding choice for a dog sitter. Brant treats Siku with remarkable kindness, ensuring she receives regular veterinary care, a nutritious diet, and daily walks filled with playtime and affection. His gentle and attentive approach creates a nurturing environment where Siku thrives, always appearing happy and well-cared-for. Brant’s genuine compassion for his dog is evident in every interaction, making him a trustworthy and highly recommended dog sitter for anyone seeking someone who will treat their pet with the utmost care and respect.

I’ve known Brant Xia for a while, and I can confidently say that he’s one of the most passionate and knowledgeable dog lovers out there. With years of experience caring for dogs, including large breeds, Brant truly understands the unique needs of different dogs. Whether it's taking them for walks or managing their daily routines, Brant does it all with patience, care, and an incredible sense of responsibility. What really stands out about Brant is his experience with large dogs. He’s not only comfortable handling them, but he also knows how to approach each breed in a way that makes them feel safe and respected. I’ve seen how effortlessly he forms strong bonds with the dogs he cares for, and it’s clear that they trust him completely. If you're looking for someone with the experience, skill, and genuine love for animals, Brant Xia is your person. He’ll treat your pet like family and provide them with the best care possible!
