I grew up with accompanies of different kinds of dog since my mom is a big animal-lover. Now my husband Zidong and I live with our 1 year old daughter and a cat. We lost our dog and another cat in August 2025.

Xiaolin’s family took such great care of Chelsea while we were away. She kept me updated daily with how things were going and sent many photos and videos. Chelsea seemed to adjust well very quickly to this clam and loving environment.

I have one phrase for this review,“peace of mind “. I felt so at ease with the daily updates (pictures, videos and text) they provided. The communication was amazing. The instructions/request we left were followed to the T (daily food, allergy medicine, and ointment). My furbaby is a senior so they made sure to give him extra care to tend to his needs (monitoring him on the stairs, keeping timed walks and being mindful of his vision). All in all I can’t wait to reach out to them again in the future. Best pet sitters ever. 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾 P.s Their cat Luca is super chill and great with dogs.
