Pet care experience

Patient, attentive & fun sitter

I am a deeply passionate and endlessly patient dog&cat lover who provides exceptional companionship and emotional support for your furry best friend. I pride myself on being incredibly attentive, carefully monitoring furry friends‘ physical condition and mood changes to ensure they always feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Drawing on a solid understanding of dog behavior and social dynamics, I tailor my care to each pup's/kitty’s unique personality. We will spend plenty of time enjoying outdoor adventures and playtime! Plus, as an enthusiastic pet photographer, I provide beautiful, high-quality photo updates so you never miss a moment of their joy

Xiaoyu was very kind and treated my pup with care. She made sure to listen to special instructions and handled a hot day with caution. Definitely recommend her!

Xiaoyu did a great job taking care of my dog. She was very kind, responsible, and attentive, and I could tell my dog felt safe and comfortable with her. She followed all the instructions carefully and made sure my dog got plenty of attention, walks, and care. When I came back, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. I would happily trust Xiaoyu with my dog again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

I highly recommend Xiaoyu as a pet sitter and dog walker. As her boyfriend and also a Star sitter on Rover, I know her very well, and I can honestly say that she is a very caring, responsible, and patient person, who will be the best choice for dog sitting. She genuinely loves animals and always treats pets with kindness and attention. She is careful with details, reliable with time, and willing to communicate clearly with pet owners. I have seen how gentle and responsible she is when taking care of pets, and I believe any pet owner can feel comfortable trusting her. Xiaoyu is also calm, friendly, and easy to get along with. She would be a great companion for pets and a trustworthy helper for their owners. I truly believe she will do a great job on Rover.

Schedule

My current focus on my Master's thesis studies gives me a wonderfully flexible routine that is perfect for pet care. Because I spend a significant amount of time working on my research and coursework from home, I am frequently available for midday walks, frequent potty breaks, and providing constant companionship throughout the day. My evenings and weekends are completely open for extended play sessions and longer outdoor adventures.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are the foundations of my care. I am incredibly observant, meaning I keep a close eye on your pet's environment to ensure no doors are left open, toxic plants are out of reach, and playtime remains safe. I respect your pet's boundaries, letting them approach me at their own pace to build genuine trust. I make sure to lock up carefully after every visit and send you detailed updates and photos for your total peace of mind.
