Availability

I currently work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of time with your pups throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship rather than leaving dogs alone for long periods. On weekends, I occasionally go out, but with advance notice and bookings, I always plan my schedule accordingly to make sure your pet’s care is never affected. I prioritize consistency, attention, and quality time, so your dog will always feel well cared for and comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I provide a calm and safe environment with no other pets, so your pet will receive my full attention. I only care for one pet at a time to ensure personalized care and reduce stress. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, potty breaks, and play. My neighborhood is quiet and dog-friendly, making it ideal for regular walks and exercise. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s normal routine. I make sure feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs are handled consistently, helping your pet feel comfortable and secure in their own space.

Information Xiaokun Z. would like to know about your pet

I like to know a pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, health needs, medications (if any), behavior quirks, and what helps them feel comfortable and safe.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. For dogs, this may include walks, interactive play, gentle training games, and cuddle time. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with toys, enrichment activities, and quiet bonding time. My goal is to keep pets engaged, comfortable, and happy while respecting their routines and boundaries.

We boarded our golden retriever Muffin with Xiaokun for four nights and had a great overall experience. Communication was super smooth—he replied really quickly every time, which made us feel very at ease. Muffin seemed happy and well cared for during her stay, and it was clear she got plenty of attention. When we picked her up, his wife also sent us additional photos, and they honestly looked like a mini photoshoot—very professional and such a nice touch!

I am happy we found Xiaokun. Our foster fail puppy who is a 6 month German Shepherd went to him for multiple doggy day care days and one boarding visit. She came back each time happy and tired. I really appreciated how Xiaokun followed our instructions and had great communication, especially when we boarded our pup shortly after her spay surgery. Also loved that on the doggy day care days he took our pup on awesome hikes/walks and sent pics for our peace of mind. Xiaokun has great calm energy and that definitely translated to making my pups stay a great one. Definitely recommend!
