A loving home with 24/7 companionsh

Hi there! 👋 We’re a dog-loving couple with flexible schedules and a big heart for pups. I don’t work a fixed 9 to 5 schedule and my husband works fully from home — so your dog will always have company and care around the clock. Our one-year-old female lab who loves every dog she meets. Before her, we were lucky to have a male Lab who stayed with us for 16 wonderful years, from just a few weeks old until his peaceful passing on his 16th birthday. Because of him, we’re very familiar with caring for dogs at every stage of life — from energetic puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra attention and care. We live in a house with a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play. We take at least three walks a day — around our quiet neighborhood, across the street at the middle school sports ground or along the nearby riverside trail — always on leash for safety. We’ll treat your dog like family and make sure they feel loved, safe, and right at home. 🐾 ❤️ What You Can Expect * 24/7 supervision and companionship * Daily photo and video updates * Safe, fenced yard for playtime * Walks at least three times a day * Plenty of love, cuddles, and positive energy

Another wonderful stay with Xiaolu, Ricky, and Nami (yellow lab, Molly's new BFF). Molly came home happy and heathy. I love the daily reports with photos. They take such good care of her.

Molly, my beagle, had another wonderful stay with Xiaolu and Ricky and Nami, their yellow lab. They are great at communicating daily with photos. It makes me feel at peace leaving her with them, knowing they will take great care of her!

Xiaolu & Ricky were great at watching Molly! She had a wonderful time with their yellow lab, Nami. I would definitely use their services again.

Xiaolu was an amazing caregiver of our two golden doodles. Tatum, our anxious one and Beau, our goofy one, were as calm and settled when we came home as when we left. Xiaolu gave regular updates on their silliness and outings, sent photos showing they were relaxed and content, and did everything we asked on the schedule we agreed. She even stayed with our dogs a bit extra due to snow in the area over the holidays. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Xiaolu to take care of doodles any time - she’s wonderful!

Xiaolu did a great job of communicating, sharing pics and interacting with our high energy Australian Shepherd, Indi. I would recommend utilizing her services to any pet owner.
