Pet care experience

Full time dog mom/中文&粤语

I have 7 years of experience caring for large-breed dog, managing training, exercise, grooming, and health needs. I used to have a dog, my German Shepherd-Husky mix, for six years. Managing a large-breed dog since puppy is not a easy task, requiring many training and exercise to keep him mentally and physically stimulated. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer and is no longer with me. That was a heartbreaking time period, but I learned a lot on caring for dogs who need extra attention, patience, and love, understanding dogs' unique needs at every stage of their lives. I bring this compassion and dedication to every pet I care for. I also have experience caring for dogs of different breeds and sizes. Feel free to browse the photos on my profile to see some of the wonderful dogs I've had the pleasure of boarding.

Boarding • Sep 15, 2026

I had to go on a longer trip and found myself in need for leaving my puppy behind. You can imagine the stress for both Kaya and I having to be separated for the 1st time since we found eachother. Eventually I came across Rover and Xiangwen's profile. It all seemed good on paper but I won't lie, this being the 1st time I had my doubts. All the doubts instantly started being a thing of the past once we started communicating. She's very attentive, great communicator and all the pictures and photos showed me I left my pup in great care. I'm sure Kaya will miss you. Thank you for being so good to Kaya!

Our dog Moose is 6yrs old and this was his first time away from us, so naturally we were a little nervous. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Xiangwen was amazing and kept us updated throughout Moose’s entire stay with lots of photos and videos. Seeing how happy and comfortable he was made us feel so much more at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We’re incredibly happy with the care, attention, and love Moose received. We will definitely be booking with Xiangwen again, she is amazing!! 🐾❤️

Schedule

I work from home full-time, so your furry friend will have company and supervision throughout the day. They'll never be left alone for long and will receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a townhouse, and there's a community center just across the street with a large dog park. I'll take boarding dogs there to run, play, and burn off some energy. Most of the time, the dog park is empty, so your furry friend can enjoy plenty of space without being disturbed by other dogs if they prefer a quieter environment. If your dog is social and enjoys making new friends, we can also visit during busier times so they have the opportunity to interact and play with other dogs. Whether your pup loves to sprint around, sniff and explore, or simply relax in the open space, I'll make sure they have a fun and safe experience based on their personality and comfort level.

A typical day

A typical day with me starts with a refreshing morning walk. The duration may vary, depending on dog's and weather's conditions. I don't follow a one-size-fits-all routine because every dog is unique. Instead, I tailor my care to each dog's individual needs, personality, and daily habits.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Please let me know in advance if your furry friend has any special needs, medical conditions, or unique behaviors I should be aware of. This helps me provide the best care and ensure their comfort and safety during their stay.
