Pet care experience
Trusted & Caring Pet Sitter
Hi! I’m a PhD researcher based in Cambridge with a calm and structured lifestyle. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and can provide a safe, quiet, and caring environment for your pets. I have experience caring for cats through short drop-in visits (around 30 minutes each), including feeding, litter cleaning, and making sure they feel comfortable and relaxed. I offer services such as drop-in visits and dog walking. During visits, I can help with feeding, cleaning, playtime, and giving your pet attention and companionship, always following your instructions carefully. I work during weekdays, but I am available in the evenings and fully available on weekends, which allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to your pet. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone reliable, so I always provide regular updates and photos to keep you reassured. Whether it’s walks or drop-in visits, I’d love to help 😊 FYI: I’m new to Rover and currently offering competitive rates to build up reviews, while always providing high-quality and responsible care.

Ratings and reviews
I highly recommend my friend as a pet sitter. I have known her for more than 10 years and can personally vouch for her deep-rooted love and responsible nature toward animals. While Xiao is currently living pet-free in the UK, she is a lifelong animal person. She was a devoted dog owner for many years back in China, so she understands the daily commitment, patience, and routine required to keep a dog healthy and happy. She isn't just a fan of animals; she has the 'paws-on' experience of managing everything from feeding schedules to long walks. More recently, she has been the go-to person for our colleagues when they need someone to care for their cats. She is incredibly attentive, ensuring they are not just fed, but also engaged and comforted while their owners are away. She is the type of person who stops to say hello to every dog and cat on the street and truly misses having a furry companion of her own, which is why she treats every guest pet with extra specialized care. Xiao is punctual, highly communicative, and trustworthy. I would have no hesitation leaving my own pets in her hands.

Schedule
Your pet will be looked after in a calm, safe, and clean environment. I will follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m available for evening and weekend drop-in visits, which are perfect for cats or independent dogs who need feeding, cleaning, and some company while you’re away. Cats and dogs will receive lots of attention, patience, and care, and I always adapt to each pet’s personality to ensure a stress-free experience. I will send regular updates and photos so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. FYI: I’m new to Rover, so I’m currently offering lower rates to build up reviews, but I always provide high-quality and responsible care.

- It would be helpful to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, and any specific preferences or habits. Please let me know if your pet has any medical conditions, dietary requirements, or behavioural traits I should be aware of. I would also appreciate information about how your pet interacts with new people, and whether they are comfortable being handled, walked, or left alone for short periods. The more I know in advance, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy.
