Pet care experience
Loving care for 🐱 fun walk with 🐶
HI! THIS IS COCO! 🙏🏻 I truly value open communication. If there’s anything you’re not fully satisfied with during or after a visit, please let me know anytime. I will always do my best to make things right. MY GOAL: 💛My goal is simple: keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy—and keep you worry-free. I treat every pet as an individual and adapt to their personality, whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra patience. SITUATION (boarding): ✨ We currently have one cat at home, and we live in a 3-bedroom townhouse—perfect for a safe and fully separated boarding setup. Each pet will have a private room and will not meet or interact with others by default, ensuring a safe and stress-free environment. Each space will include all the essentials, with ongoing upgrades to scratching posts, cat trees, and enrichment items. *If pets are friendly and approved by their owners, I’m happy to allow supervised interaction and playtime together ( I’m just here to tidy up—the house really belongs to them 🐾) EXPERIENCE: I’ve completed 50+ dog walks and 40+ cat drop-in visits, along with multiple boarding experiences through Rover. In addition to Rover, some of my most meaningful hands-on experiences include: Fostering two cats for a full year, managing their daily care and adjustment. Raising a young kitten (under 2 months old) to one year old, including feeding, litter training, vet visits, and teething care. Providing extended in-home boarding (4+ month stays), which gave me strong experience with long-term routines, behavior monitoring, and building trust with pets. These experiences have helped me become very attentive to pet behavior, stress signals, and individual needs.

Ratings and reviews
Xiaoyu was very attentive to our cats! I greatly appreciate her responding to a last minute request and ensuring our cats were doing well during our trip away. Thank you!
Xiaoyu did a great job of keeping care of our dog and cat! She was very good at sending pictures that showed she was doing all the necessary tasks and that the pets were doing well. We would definitely call on her again.
Coco took great care of my kitty! She sent a lot of pictures! I was so happy to see my kitty loved and played with and petted. She did some extras for me too, taking in packages and getting the mail. I was really happy with her services and will definitely hire her again!
First time with Xiaoyu, and I was very pleased! I felt my cats were really well cared for. Thank you. :)
Coco was such a great cat sitter! I have a cat who needs to be medicated twice a day and I was worried that he wouldn’t take his meds with someone he didn’t know but coco was so great with making sure he took them and updating me. My cats seem to really enjoy her company :)
Xiaoyu was amazing! One of my cats needs daily medicine and Xiaoyu administered it to him like a champ..I will definitely rebook her again and again!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. For boarding, each pet will have a private space and will be separated from other pets by default to ensure a calm, stress-free environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, litter box care, walks, medication, playtime, and daily routines. In my home, I keep the space clean, quiet, and pet-friendly. I carefully monitor each pet’s behavior, comfort level, and stress signals, especially during the adjustment period. If pets are friendly and approved by their owners, I’m happy to allow supervised interaction. For drop-ins and walks, I respect your home and your pet’s usual routine. I make sure doors, windows, gates, and leashes are secure, and I always provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.
