Highlights
Pet care experience
Love each furry friend in the world
Part 1: My Background: I have a wealth of experience with pets, being both patient and affectionate towards them. I have a deep fondness for animals, and I currently share my home with two cats. The first one, adopted in 2018 before my university graduation, was a year and a half old, weighing just 3 lbs and in a pitiable state. Over time, she has thrived and now weighs a healthy 11 pounds. The second cat joined our family last year. Through my training efforts, both cats have learned basic commands like 'sit' and 'shake hands,' and they enjoy each other's company harmoniously. Back in 2016, I also welcomed a dog into my life. However, after coming to the US, I entrusted my dog's care to my parents, who adore the dog and are reluctant to part with him. During my time at home, I took charge of daily tasks like bathing, nail clipping, and tidying up their fur. My experience extends to hamsters as well—I've cared for six of them, even tending to newborns, and all have grown up thriving. Part 2: My Attitude: - I treat every pet with utmost care and dedication. - If you've experienced my service, you'll undoubtedly agree :) 1. I proactively clean and maintain their food bowls every day. Even for the water fountain, I always check the interior for cleanliness. If I find any dirt or residue, I thoroughly clean the inner walls to ensure it's spotless before letting them use it. (Whenever I see pets eating or drinking from unclean bowls, it genuinely tugs at my heartstrings.) 2. I have a penchant for giving pets thorough and affectionate petting, allowing me to promptly detect any anomalies, like increased eye discharge or minor injuries on their bodies. ( See details in my reviews ) 3. After every walk, I make it a habit to wipe the dust and mud off the dog's paws using tissue or wet wipes. 4. I take pride in understanding the unique personalities and habits of each pet I care for. I'm honored to say that almost every pet I've looked after has been happy to snuggle up to me. 5. I adore capturing numerous beautiful photos of the pets, preserving their endearing moments. 6. I document the fun and interesting activities we do together to send to pet owners, in both pictures and words. This way, even when pet owners are away, it feels as if they were right there with us. 7. For those pets with whom I've forged an extraordinary bond, I commemorate our connection with a hand-painted portrait. ( See details in my photos )

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and two friendly cats to provide companionship for your fur baby. If your pet is a bit shy or nervous, I can ensure that my own cat stays in a separate room.
Ratings and reviews
Xiaotong is an amazing cat sitter who truly understands every cat’s needs. She always sent tons of photos and videos during each visit, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My cats genuinely look forward to her visits every time! I highly recommend Xiaotong to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.


Great communication, reliable. Our dog is in good hands with Xiaotong!

Xiaotong did an amazing job taking care of Hachi. She was warm, attentive, and clearly loves dogs. Hachi was happy and relaxed when I picked him up, which says everything. She kept me updated and made me feel confident that he was in great hands. I highly recommend Xiaotong and would absolutely trust her to watch Hachi again.

Xiaotong was wonderful! She was kind, caring, and took great care of Hachi. Hachi absolutely loved her, and it was clear he felt comfortable and happy with her. She was reliable, communicative, and made the whole experience stress-free. I would definitely recommend Xiaotong to anyone looking for a great dog sitter, and I’d be happy to book with her again.

Xiaotong took really good care of my kittens while I was out of town for 5 days. She was super communicative and receptive of our asks during her visits. She sent me lots of cute videos and photos and even started teaching them how to show hands before getting treats! Appreciated her thoughtfulness and care so much and I would definitely book her again in the future.


Xiaotong took great care of my four cats while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and sent lots of photos and updates, which I really appreciated. Three of my cats are very shy and usually hide from new people, but she made them feel comfortable enough to come out, which really impressed me. I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I'll have ample time to spend with the puppy and kittens. I'll also take care of nail trimming and brushing their fur. If I have some free time, I might create a portrait of your furry friend.
