Pet care is a part of my daily routine. I care for my 12-year-old Japanese Akita, senior German Shepherd, and young Highlander cat every day, including feeding, walks, exercise, grooming, playtime, and monitoring their health and well-being. Caring for pets has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and attention to detail. Because pet care is already a regular part of my life, I can easily incorporate walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care services into my weekly schedule while providing reliable and attentive care.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I make sure pets have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and are kept safe at all times. I also respect my clients’ homes by keeping everything clean and secure. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos during visits to give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for pets for many years and understand that every animal has unique needs and personalities. I currently have a 12-year-old Japanese Akita, a 13-year-old German Shepherd, and a young Highlander cat, giving me hands-on experience with both senior pets and energetic younger animals. Caring for my senior dogs has taught me the importance of patience, recognizing health concerns, maintaining routines, administering basic care, and adjusting exercise levels based on age and mobility. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds, including large dogs, and I understand the importance of safe handling, positive interactions, and consistent care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, feeding, playtime, medication reminders, or companionship while you’re away, I will treat them as if they were my own. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and communicative, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos during every visit so you can have complete peace of mind. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

I've known Xiang for years, and I can tell you without hesitation: if you love your pets, you want Xiang looking after them. He's one of those rare people who genuinely connects with animals — not in a performative way, but in a quiet, steady, instinctive way that dogs and cats seem to recognize immediately. We share a home with three dogs — Panda, Bear, and Coco — and a Highlander cat who can be quite particular about people. Every single one of them gravitates toward Xiang. He reads their moods, respects their boundaries, and always knows when a pet needs a little extra attention versus some calm, unhurried space. He's observant in the best possible way. Beyond the animal instinct, Xiang is simply a responsible, trustworthy person. He follows routines carefully, communicates clearly, and genuinely cares about the animals in his charge — not just as a job, but as a real act of love. Pet parents, you can relax. Your fur family is in excellent hands.
