Pet care experience

Pet lover with 12 years experience!

Hi! I’ve been caring for pets for over 12 years. I offer personalized drop-in visits, medication administration, feeding, litter box scooping, dog walks, playtime, brushing, and most importantly, patient, loving companionship. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or needs extra medical support, I adjust my care to meet their unique needs. Working from home gives me a flexible schedule, so I’m available for daytime, evening, or even multiple daily visits, whatever works best for your pet’s routine. I’m happy to help keep things consistent and stress-free while you’re away. I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals of all kinds, and that early experience shaped my deep respect and love for every creature I meet. Over the years, I’ve cared for both cats and dogs with complex medical needs including diabetes (with insulin), asthma (including inhalers), FLUTD, fatty liver disease, and megacolon. I’m confident giving medications, following care instructions closely, and making pets feel safe and seen. :)

Safety, trust & environment

Client-Home Pet Care: When I visit your home, I’m all about respecting your routines and treating your space like it’s my own. I’m careful to leave everything just how I found it, and I always double check that doors and windows are locked before I head out. I keep an eye on your pet’s mood and health, and I’ll keep you in the loop with updates so you can relax knowing your best friend is in great hands. In-Home Pet Care When your furry friend stays with me, I follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel right at home. I keep everything safe, clean, and cozy, perfect for cats who love their quiet spots. Every pet is unique, so I give plenty of love and patience to make sure they’re comfortable and happy while you’re away.

Xiao was fantastic! She is extremely responsible, reliable, and followed every single instruction I left for my cat down to the detail. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pet was in such attentive hands. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!

Xiao was wonderful watching our cat, Ava, for six days! She was very mindful and took great care of everything, including giving Ava her medication twice right on schedule. She sent thorough daily updates with lots of great photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She made sure Ava got plenty of playtime and even cleaned up an unexpected hairball mess, which we really appreciated! We couldn’t have asked for a better, more thoughtful sitter and would gladly book Xiao again in a heartbeat! Highly recommended.

I asked Xiao to take care of my cat Simon 2nd time while I was away. She completed another fantastic job of taking care of Simon’s need and play with him while I was away. I highly recommend her for anyone’s pet care need.

Xiao was the best pet sitter that we've worked with. She set up a phone call to discuss what our needs were just prior to the weekend that we asked her to pet sit. This was very reassuring as she was able to meet our cat and ask any clarifying questions. It's clear that she had significant experience with many types of cats and she gave us great advice for different parts of the pet sitting experience, including making sure that we had set up our video in case of any health issues. Her daily updates were extremely thorough, making sure to keep us up to date on our cat's health, her litter behavior and tons of photos. All of this allowed us to feel extremely reassured during our vacation that our cat would be taken care of extremely well and allowed us to feel comfortable making sure that our pet was safe and happy. As an extra bonus, she was also able to keep track of some Amazon packages that made it to our door while we were out of town and she safely put them indoors. We would highly recommend her and would absolutely use her again.

Schedule

Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care easily into my day. I’m available for visits, drop-ins, or longer stays throughout the week and can often accommodate last-minute requests. Whether it’s multiple daily check-ins or a quick afternoon visit, I make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve without rushing. I’m also happy to adjust my time to meet their needs.

Before caring for any pet, it is really important for me to know a few key things to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I like to understand their daily routine, any medical needs or medications, their feeding schedule, and any allergies. It is also helpful to know about their personality and sensitivities. For example, some pets may not like being touched or brushed in certain areas, or they may feel nervous around other animals or loud noises. Knowing what makes them feel relaxed, what they enjoy, and what to avoid helps me give them the best care.
