Highlights
Pet care experience
A home away from home for all pets!
Hello! My name is Xin. I live in Ellicott City, Maryland, and hope to care for your fur-babies! I am newly-reactivated, but for the past 6 years I have fostered with the rescues Friends of Rabbits in MD and Penny and Wild in FL, so I have been active in the pet care and rescue community! I'd say I'm fairly active, going to the gym 4 days a week for strength training and running 4 times a week, so I have gotten strong enough to handle bigger dogs. I also love dogs that can run alongside me so I'm for you if you have an over-active dog! I've grown up with a dog, walked countless dogs of various ages, shapes, and sizes, have one house bunny and a former feral tuxedo cat of my own, and worked with caring for up to 14 cats at a time in a Petco! I'm also a rabbit foster and regularly foster and volunteer with local rabbit rescues and shelters - I have fostered at least 10 rabbits now and it's rare for my place to not have more than one enclosure at a time. My services include dog walking, day care, cat boarding and day care. I even have experience with rabbits with special needs, guinea pigs, and reptiles. If you need any proof of credentials, I would love to provide resumes, photos, references, and other proof of experience. To set up a meet & greet with me, send me a booking request! We can do either face-to-face or over video call! Planning ahead? I'm available for any holiday bookings this year. Contact me!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a camera set up at all times for when I am away and use the app Alfred to track how my pets are doing, which you may access as well. I believe in open communication and constant vigilance when it comes to pet care, and try to respond to all forms of communication within a timely matter. I will send as many photos and videos as you require (within reason) and every request will be accommodated for to the best of my ability. All pets except dogs will be indoors only. All communication regarding medical attention will always be run by you first before I take action, unless it is a time sensitive emergency in which I will communicate with you while taking care of the emergency.
Ratings and reviews
We couldn’t be happier with the care Xin provided for our dogs, Freia and Howdy, while we were away for five weeks. She stayed in our home and took exceptional care of both the dogs and the house. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing they were in such capable, caring hands. We came home to two happy, healthy dogs and a well-kept home. We highly recommend Xin to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring pet sitter. Thank you, Xin!
Xin is beyond amazing. She cared for my 2 kittens as if they were her own. She’s wonderful with them, shared lots of pics and updates and they loved her. It was clear they were in good hands and I had nothing to worry about. Highly recommend ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Xin is an amazing cat and rabbit sitter! She went above and beyond to take care of our special needs rabbit, who requires medication, bladder expression, and daily cleanup. She sent us lots of updates so that we weren't worried during our trip.
Xin is a wonderful dog walker- she's a great communicator, excellent with our dog and timely! She even did some research on harnesses and leashes for us! We will continue to use Xin and highly recommend her to other families.
Xin is great ! Very reliable and attentive. I look forward to using her again
Xin went above and beyond to come walk our dog, even when there were riots going on. She's always responsive to messages and gives lots of updates so we always feel confident our dog is well taken care of.

Schedule
I work from home teaching an online music studio and mostly work in pet care otherwise. I have a flexible weekly schedule and will prioritize our engagements. I also spend some time at the gym and also run a lot; if your dog loves to run he or she is welcome to come along!
