Paw-some Adventures Await

Pet care experience

Growing up with my dog was just the beginning of my lifelong connection with animals. Over the past 30 years, I've shared my heart and home with dogs, cats, and bunnies - each one leaving a paw print of love on my soul. My passion for these incredible creatures has only grown stronger with time, transforming into a commitment to provide them with the best care and companionship they deserve. When I'm a student at Northwestern University, I'm embarking on adventures with my own furry family. An 8-year-old retriever, who greets each day with tail-wagging enthusiasm, fills my home with warmth. And then there is my 1-year-old ragdoll, companions who've been by my side since they were kittens – a testament to the bonds that pets bring into our lives. My schedule, with its flexible hours and freedom to create my own rhythm, perfectly aligns with the needs of our four-legged friends. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the nearby nature preserves, sunbathing on the balcony, or exploring the abundance of green spaces in our friendly subdivision, each moment is tailored to create a joyful experience. Drawing from years of watching over dogs and cats for family and friends, I know that every pet has a unique story to tell. It's the energetic playtimes, the cozy cuddles, and the shared secrets that forge the strongest connections. As your trusted pet sitter, I'm here to make sure that your pets are enveloped in the same warmth, care and love that I've treasured with my own.

Was a huge help with Gigi, great home and neighborhood. Xiao’s dog Echo was a very good boy and patient with Gigi getting acclimated. I received daily pictures of my baby girl and I am confident she was well taken care of. Overall, I would request her again and confidently recommend to others!

We were so pleased with our experience with Xiao! Communication while we were out of town was fantastic. I never had to worry about my dogs wellbeing. We will definitely rebook Xiao in the future.

Xiao did amazing with our dog. She is kind and loving. This was my first time ever using rover and leaving my dog with someone I had just met. And I couldn’t be more happier with Xiao. She sent me tons of videos and pics and kept in touch whole time we were gone. Nugget loved taking walks with her and kids are so loving they read to my dog and played with him.

Xiao did a great job with out dog, Millie. It was our first time leaving her with a sitter and she has a hard time in new situations. Xiao was very patient and gentle with Millie and sent me pictures and videos everyday. She did a great job of communication. We would use her again if we needed a sitter.
