Highlights
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. :)

Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
Great cat sitter! Very reliable, communicative, and took great care of my cat. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Would definitely recommend! 🐱💕
Xiao was extremely responsive and very thorough in her daily updates and sent many pictures. Definitely felt more at ease knowing she was looking after our cats!
Fantastic pet sitter! So attentive to my cat and left me detailed info every day!
Xiao went above and beyond when I needed urgent pet sitting for my cat Coco right after an ER visit. She took exceptional care of Coco during her recovery, communicated constantly with lots of photos, and left the apartment in great shape. Xiao is responsible, attentive, and wonderful to work with!
Xiao is one of the best sitters you could ask for. She is super proactive, reaching out to info, giving heads-up on her arrival, sending 50 photos (!) and confirming that the door is locked after she left. She’s not only taking care of my cat but also a bit of the home as well. Will definitely book Xiao again and would recommend her to folks who’re looking for a sitter.
I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She took amazing care of Fuji and sent detailed updates after every visit, along with 40+ photos each time, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She paid close attention to his eating, litter box, energy level, and even noticed little things like the condition of his cat grass. It was obvious she genuinely cared for him, spending quality time playing, cuddling, and making sure he was happy. I came home to a healthy, relaxed cat, and I would absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!

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.
