Pet care experience
Dedicated premium care
Hi there! With over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience and a lifetime of sharing my home with rescues and seniors dogs, I offer an intuitive, attentive level of care that goes beyond basic sitting. As a former BCSPCA volunteer of two years, I’m experienced in handling diverse temperaments, complex behavioral needs, and strict routines with confidence.

Ratings and reviews
Xinmiao watched our two cats Artie and Leena and did a fantastic job. While coordinating the care she was quick to respond with thorough and courteous replies. Before the drop in visits she came over to meet us, get the keys and meet our cats, she was kind and patient introducing herself to the cats. During the visits she started and ended the check in and check out times as agreed upon. During the visits she sent pictures and videos of playtime, feeding time, and snack time as well as scooped litter boxes. My wife and I were very happy to have found such a caring cat sitter. Would definitely recommend to others and will have her watch our furballs in the future.
Did everything I asked!
I had such a wonderful experience leaving my dog, Capri, in her care for about 12 days. Capri was extremely well looked after and received so much love, attention, and care throughout her stay. What I appreciated most was the excellent communication. I received pictures every day along with updates two to three times a day, which was incredibly reassuring while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing that Capri was happy, comfortable, and in such good hands. It was clear from the photos and updates that Capri was having a great time and was being treated like part of the family. I’m very grateful for the level of care and attention she received and would absolutely feel comfortable leaving Capri with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and trustworthy dog sitter! 🐾❤️
Xinmiao took such amazing care of our pets while we were away! She followed all of our care instructions in detail and even shared videos of them with us each day, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and in such good hands. It was such a pleasure having her care for our pets, and we truly appreciated the attention and care she gave them. We would happily have her look after them again!
My go-to dog sitter!!! I had total peace of mind during my trip knowing Tofu was in great hands. She’d provide detailed updates about her and share a ton of pics and videos. She’s also very responsive and accommodating to last minute bookings. And also AMAZING with my big nervous German shepherd who usually doesn’t like people. 10/10 ❤️
Kat was a lovely and trustworthy cat-sitter. Leo can be a bit of a scaredy-cat, but he warmed up to her fast. She went above and beyond, even going so far as to bring special treats and teach Leo a trick! <3 I felt totally at ease with her checking on my cat and monitoring the house while away for a whole month. Kept her appointments and sent me updates every visit.
