Pet care experience

Loving and experienced dog parent

Animals have always been an important part of my life. I grew up in a family that had dogs for over 12 years, and caring for them was a big part of my childhood. After moving to Seattle, I raised my own Golden Retriever Luna who is now 8 years old, and I also have a sweet American Shorthair cat Hepburn at home :) Living with both dogs and cats has helped me understand their different personalities and needs. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same love I give my own pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away!

My dog Sauce had such a wonderful stay at Xiaotong’s home. Sauce was so welcomed by the entire family, and made great buddies with their dog Luna. Great communications too and we received many many fun videos and photos. The owner also left me a sweet letter that summarized Sauce’s stay. Highly recommended!

Xiaotong did an amazing job taking care of our dog. She was very attentive, responsible, and clearly loves animals. Our dog was happy and well cared for while we were away. Communication was great and she kept us updated. We will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.

Schedule

I currently work part-time (less than 20 hours per week), so I have plenty of time at home to care for pets. Most days I’m home for at least half the day, and sometimes the entire day. This means I can give pets lots of attention, companionship, and regular potty breaks. I enjoy spending time playing with them and making sure they feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a large yard where dogs can safely run and play. I also take them on regular walks so they can get exercise and enjoy being outside. I have an 8-year-old Golden Retriever and an American Shorthair cat at home, so I understand different pets’ personalities and routines. I always treat every pet with patience, care, and the same love I give my own babies!

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is full of love, playtime, and plenty of attention. We’ll start with potty breaks and meals, then enjoy walks around the neighborhood, exploring new smells and getting some fresh air. If your dog enjoys playtime, we can play games in the yard or indoors. I also make sure there’s plenty of time to relax, cuddle, and feel at home. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re with me!

Before your pet stays with me, I’d love to learn about their personality and routine. Please let me know their feeding schedule, energy level, favorite activities, and if they have any special needs or behaviors I should know about. Every pet is different, and I want to make sure I care for them in the way that makes them feel most comfortable and secure :)
