🐈 Cats Only! Private Rooms! 🐈⬛
🐱 Cats only, no dogs or other animals 🐱 2500 sqft house filled with sunlight 🐱 Three 100 sqft private rooms with windows I have two wonderful eight-year-old cats, they are brothers I adopted from a shelter when they were just two months old. They may be on the larger side, but they’re both incredibly gentle and friendly with people and other cats. Friends and family who meet them always praise me for how well I care for them. Since I am home most of the day, I frequently help my friends with their cats, and they all trust me deeply. In November 2024, I began offering cat boarding services on Rover. So far, I have cared for over 70 different cats at my home, ranging in age from 2 months to 17 years, over one-third of whom have returned for repeat stays. Their owners have all been very satisfied with my care and the environment I provide. If you decide to board your cat with me, I will treat them as if they were my own. And I will send you daily photos and videos to keep you updated and reassured while you are away. I believe each cat is a unique treasure, and I know how important they are to you. They deserve the very best care, and I strive to give them exactly that. Because of my limited experience with dogs, I currently only offer boarding services for cats. Thank you for understanding, and I look forward to meeting your feline family soon!

Ratings and reviews
Amazing, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.
Xiaoying was so great with our cat. She was so patient and did everything to make her as comfortable as possible. We are so thankful and grateful for all she did while we vacationed.
This was my second time having Xiaoying watch Paulie and she is consistently reliable and very communicative throughout the booking. I will continue to book with her for all of my traveling needs!
Xiaoying is amazing. She and her husband Scott took such great care of our two cats. The daily updates, pictures, and videos were such a blessing. I felt so at ease all week on vacation knowing they were so well cared for. The room they stay in is spacious and has some fun cat toys to help them enjoy their stay as well. I highly recommend using Xiaoying to board your cats with.
Second time with this sitter - she and her partner are honestly wonderful. They provided an amazing space for Ashe, who’s typically a more anxious kitty, that got her to warm up and come out of her shell in no time at all. Xiaoying also provided detailed updates with photos and videos multiple times a day, I never had to worry for even a second. I can tell how much she loves cats and really takes care of all of the kitties she boards. It’s a lively house full of happy toe beans!
I’m so grateful for Xiaoying. She takes really good care of my cats. They have stayed with her several other times and are always very pleased.

Schedule
I spend most of my time at home, so I can devote plenty of attention to your cats. I’m available for cat boarding every day. I also offer convenient pick-up and drop-off services for boarding cats. If you’re interested, feel free to let me know, and I can share the pricing based on your location.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I keep all cats strictly indoors to ensure their safety and comfort. My two-story, 2,500 sqft home offers plenty of space for them to roam, with large windows and abundant sunlight for a cozy atmosphere. I’ve set up two water fountains, two scratching posts, two cat beds, and a large scratching pad on the first floor. Upstairs, I have three spare rooms, each about 100 sqft and equipped with windows. Each room has its own litter box, water fountain, food bowls, cat beds, cat houses, scratching posts, and toys. Because cats generally need at least one to two days (sometimes longer) to adjust to new surroundings, I place any first-time visitors in a private room for at least 24 hours. During this time, I check on them often to observe their behavior and decide whether they need more time alone. Once they have settled, they are free to explore the rest of the house. Then, they can roam around freely and play with the other cats. At night, I have all cats stay in their own rooms to prevent any issues that could arise while I’m asleep. After each cat’s stay, I thoroughly clean and disinfect the room and all items they used. If your cat is especially timid, isn’t comfortable around other cats, or if you prefer them to have their own space without interacting with others, please let me know and I can keep them in a private room for the duration of their stay.

A typical day
I will carefully monitor each cat’s mood, eating habits, and litter box usage, making sure to clean the litter box promptly. If the cat is comfortable with it, I can also clean their eyes, chin, and even their bottom. I will update you on your cat’s status at least once a day with videos and photos. If you have any special requests about how frequently you’d like updates or what form they should take, please let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate.
