Availability
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.

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.
Information xiao w. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
On a typical day, I like to start by making sure the pets are well-fed, have fresh water, and feel comfortable. If I’m watching dogs, especially on a weekend, I’d be happy to take them on a fun outdoor hike with my family. It’s a great way for them to get exercise, enjoy nature, and have a little adventure. If they prefer a more relaxed day, a walk around the neighborhood and some playtime with their favorite toys is perfect too. If I’m caring for cats, I focus on making sure they feel cozy and content. I enjoy playing with them using a laser pointer or treat puzzles if they’re interested. I also make sure to respect their space and individual personalities. Whether I’m with dogs or cats, I always do my best to keep them happy, safe, and feeling loved while their family is away.

Pet care 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. :)

Reviews
Xiao was fantastic! Super reliable, quick to update me, and my cat absolutely loved them. Highly recommend!
Xiao is an incredible and highly responsible sitter! She recently watched my cat, Coco, and handled an unexpected accident on the sofa with absolute grace and professionalism. She cleaned it up thoroughly right away and communicated everything to me clearly, which I deeply appreciated. She also closely monitored Coco's routines to make sure she was doing well. Xiao is trustworthy, communicative, and truly cares about the pets she watches. I will absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!
Xiao does a fantastic job looking after my cats. Highly recommended!
I highly recommend Xiao! She was incredibly responsible and attentive while watching my cat. She kept me updated on everything with regular check-ins and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she truly cares about animals, and my cat was so well looked after. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Thank you so much for the wonderful care!
