Pet care experience

Since I was seven years old, I have raised all kinds of dogs. I have adopted, rescued, and treated stray dogs. My friends and family all rely on me to walk their dogs, feed them, bathe them and groom them.

Xiaoyan was great and very accommodating. This was Sudo’s second visit with her and he loved it!

Xiaoyan was really great and took good care of our little pup. She made sure we’re updated and sent pics. Happy for Sudo to stay over at Xiaoyen’s again.

Hi everyone! I'd like to recommend someone I truly trust to care for your furry family members—Cheng. She is, without a doubt, the best pet sitter I've ever met. The first time I brought my dog to her for boarding, I was nervous. After all, our dogs are family, and leaving them with someone else can be hard. But the moment I met Cheng, I knew we were in good hands. She has 35 years of experience raising dogs—and it really shows. When you talk to her, you can tell her knowledge of dogs runs deep. She understands different breeds, their personalities, and even what a dog's subtle behaviors mean—all at a glance. What touched me most was her attention to detail. Before the boarding, she spent over an hour asking me about my dog's eating habits, daily routine, favorite toys, whether he was shy around strangers, any allergies—she even asked which spot on the floor he liked to nap on. I thought to myself, this isn't just pet sitting—she treats every dog like her own. During the boarding, she sent me photos and videos every day. Sometimes my dog was lounging in the yard, sometimes playing with toys indoors, sometimes just napping at her feet. Seeing those pictures, I knew he was happy and comfortable. Once my trip was delayed, and she didn't hesitate to keep him an extra day, telling me, "Don't worry, just drive safely." Her love for dogs is genuine. Her home is set up with dogs in mind—safe play areas, cozy beds, plenty of toys. She once told me her living room sofa had long been "taken over" by her canine guests. They're welcome to jump up, snuggle, and nap wherever they please. That kind of warmth really touched me. One time, my dog had a bit of an upset stomach, and I was really worried. Cheng quickly figured it was likely just stress from the new environment. She adjusted his diet, reassured me, and said, "Don't worry, I've got this." Sure enough, he was back to normal the next day. From that moment on, I knew I could trust her completely. 35 years of experience—that's not something you learn from books. It comes from years of being with dogs, day in and day out. Cheng truly understands dogs, loves them, and knows exactly how to make them feel safe and happy. If you're looking for someone to care for your dog, I honestly recommend Cheng. You can go on your trip with peace of mind, knowing your furry friend is in the best hands. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions—I'm happy to share more about my experience.

Xiaoyan is a caring, responsible, and trustworthy person. Taking care of dogs is one of her greatest passions: she has been doing so ever since she was a kid and has helped dogs of a variety of breeds, from keeping them accompanied on a daily basis to curing their inborn disease. For every fur babies she comes across, she takes care them with love and experience.
