Caring Walks & Loving Visits

About Me Hi! I'm Xiaohang, originally from Hangzhou, a beautiful city in eastern China. I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher at Karolinska Institutet, where I've been living in Stockholm for the past eight months. During my time here, I've experienced Stockholm's crystal-clear winter, vibrant spring, and now its beautiful summer. I genuinely enjoy living here, but there's one thing I miss every day—my family and my little dog back home. I grew up in a pet-loving family, and dogs have always been part of my life. My own dog, Tai, is an eight-year-old golden girl who has been my little sister for many years. We grew up together—playing games, running through parks and forests, and quietly keeping each other company. Even now, whenever I return home, she's always the first to greet me with the biggest welcome and happiest tail wag. She reminds me how much comfort and happiness animals bring into our lives. Being away from Tai has made me realize how much I miss spending time with dogs. That's one of the reasons I'd love to care for pets here in Stockholm. It would be wonderful to share companionship with local furry friends while helping owners feel confident that their pets are in safe, caring hands. As a researcher, my schedule is quite flexible, which allows me to arrange dog walks and home visits throughout the week. Whether your dog loves long walks, slow sniffing adventures, or simply staying close to someone calm and patient, I'm happy to adapt to their personality and routine. My goal is always to make every pet feel safe, respected, and relaxed. I believe every dog and cat has their own unique personality, and I never try to rush or change them. Instead, I take the time to earn their trust, respect their boundaries, and care for them with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection—just as I would with Tai. What I offer ✔ Dog walking tailored to your dog's pace and personality ✔ Drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, companionship, and fresh water ✔ Regular photo and message updates so you know your pet is happy ✔ Calm, reliable, and responsible care ✔ Flexible weekday scheduling I understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else's care. I'll always treat them as if they were my own, and I'll make sure you receive regular updates and photos while you're away. I look forward to giving them the same patience, care, and attention that I've always given my own dog. Every dog deserves to feel safe, understood and loved. I'd be honored to help care for yours.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I always respect each pet's individual personality and natural behavior. Some dogs love to play and explore, while others simply enjoy calm companionship, and I'm happy to follow their pace. I'll make sure they have fresh water, food, exercise, and plenty of attention according to your instructions. I also respect your home as much as I respect your pet. Before I leave, I'll tidy up, clean anything I've used, and make sure everything is left just as I found it, so you can return to both a happy pet and a well-kept home.

I have known Xiaohang Xu for eight years. She is a caring, empathetic, and extremely responsible person. We both love animals, and our friends often trust us to look after their pets when they are away. Xiaohang has plenty of experience caring for animals, and I am confident that she will provide every pet with attentive, patient, and loving care.

I've had the pleasure of working with Xiaohang, and she's one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I know. She often shares funny and heartwarming stories about her dog Tai, and it's easy to see how much she loves animals. Whenever we're walking through a park or hiking and she spots a dog, her face lights up immediately. It's one of those little things that tells you how genuine her love for animals really is. I've also noticed that dogs seem naturally comfortable around her. She's calm, patient, and gentle, and I believe those qualities make pets feel at ease. I would completely trust Xiaohang to care for my own pet, and I'm confident she'll treat every dog with the same care and attention she'd give her own.

I am Xiaohang's cousin. I've known Xiaohang her whole life—we grew up together, and when Tai joined the family, we spent countless days caring for her side by side. Watching Xiaohang with Tai has always been heartwarming. She has endless patience, pays attention to the little things, and genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Tai has never been "just a pet" to her; she's family. I have no doubt that Xiaohang would care for someone else's dog with the same love, kindness, and responsibility. She naturally makes animals feel safe and comfortable, and I know every dog in her care would be treated with warmth, respect, and affection.

Schedule

As a postdoctoral researcher at Karolinska Institutet, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around pet care. I also enjoy staying active and make time for walks and exercise every day, especially in the afternoon or after dinner. Exploring Stockholm's parks and nature with a dog feels like the perfect combination of two things I love. Whether it's a relaxed sniffing walk or a more energetic outing, I'm happy to adapt to your dog's routine and energy level.
