Two Souls, One Journey

I’ve had the privilege of raising two dogs of my own, which taught me the true meaning of companionship, responsibility, and the healing connection we share with animals. Building on this, I have over 2 years of professional pet care experience, and my absolute favorite guests to care for are young puppies and low-energy pets! What sets me apart is that I specialize exclusively in high-quality, in-home puppy and senior care, without outdoor neighborhood walks. I am uniquely geared toward young puppies who are not yet fully vaccinated or too small to go out, but urgently need daytime companionship, feeding, and frequent potty training support. During my visits, I focus 100% on keeping them safe inside, letting them out for quick potty breaks in your fenced yard (or onto pee pads), and engaging them with mental stimulation games. My experience also includes the special skill of smoothly administering oral medications directly by mouth for cooperative pets.

Safety, trust & environment

How I care for pets in a client’s home really depends on the service you need and your pet’s unique personality. I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, gentle playtime, or just keeping your pet company, I follow your instructions closely. I’m happy to stick to your pet’s usual routine so they feel secure and at ease while you’re away.

Xiaoying was incredibly communicative and sent me so many photos to assure me that my cats were doing well. She went above and beyond to ensure their happiness at home, even hand-making a toy for them to play with. I highly recommend booking with her!

Xiaoying was on time daily and really took care of the cats. They were shy but she was patient and gave treats and catnip to help them feel more comfortable. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for my cats. I plan to use her services again. Thank you!

Xiaoyang was absolutely incredible, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly! She took such amazing care of my cat, Wally, while we were away. She sent so many pictures and updates throughout each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind and made us feel like we never had to wonder how he was doing. Every photo showed just how happy and comfortable he was with her. When we got home, Wally was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. It’s obvious that Xiaoyang genuinely loves animals, and Wally seemed to adore her too. She also went completely above and beyond. While she was at our apartment, something happened to our toilet. Instead of just letting us know, she actually went home, got a screwdriver, came back, and fixed it for us! We were so grateful—we never would have expected that level of kindness and dedication. I would 100% book Xiaoyang again without hesitation, and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and genuinely wonderful pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Wally!

I had a wonderful experience with Xiaoying! She was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and so kind throughout the entire booking. She truly went above and beyond to make sure Bowie was happy and comfortable, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She spent quality time playing with Bowie, trying different toys to see what he enjoyed most, and it was clear she genuinely cared about making him feel comfortable. She also sent lots of thoughtful updates and photos, so I always knew how he was doing. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I specialize exclusively in Drop-In Visits, providing dedicated, stress-free care for your furry family members right in the comfort of their own home. By focusing solely on in-home visits, I ensure your pets get 100% of my attention, love, and care without the stress of changing their routine. Whether it’s a playful kitten, a senior dog who prefers couches over long walks, or any pet needing a timely check-in, I’ve got them covered!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
Xiaoying can host up to 12 drop-ins per day
Please let me know your pet's feeding schedule, any dietary restrictions, and their exact medication instructions if applicable. It’s also helpful to know their favorite hiding spots (especially for shy cats!), where clean-up supplies are located, and how they typically react to visitors entering the home.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
