I work from home every other week. My husband works fully remote so one of us is always home. Our weekends aren’t crazy either - we usually only leave for short errands, workouts, or grocery/coffee runs, making sure we have plenty of time available to keep your beloved pup attended and well-exercised!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a townhouse-style apartment on the first floor with seamless outdoor access. There is a yard right outside of my door that my dogs often play at. It isn’t fenced so I always keep a long leash on to ensure their safety. To keep the pups engaged and entertained, I've stocked my place with a variety of toys, chews, and enrichment activities. Your pup will have access to the whole toy/chew selection, my dogs are good at sharing and they don’t resource guard. Bathroom breaks are typically 2-4 hours but I'm flexible and can accommodate your pet's specific needs. Meal times are strictly followed according to your instructions.

Information Xinrui J. would like to know about your pet

I highly value the Meet & Greet process as it allows us to ensure compatibility between my dogs and yours. During our initial meeting, I ask important questions such as your dog's potty/feeding schedule, indoor vs. outdoor activity level, the desired frequency of walks and playtime, tolerance towards other animals, and any pertinent medical history. This open dialogue helps me develop a better understanding of your dog, ensuring an enjoyable experience for everyone. Thank you for considering me as your pet's caregiver. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet very soon!

A typical day

I believe in providing dogs with both physical and mental stimulation. On weekdays, we embark on invigorating walks and enjoy playtime at a field (not dog park). We prefer empty big fields rather than dog parks so we can eliminate any potential risks with dogs we do not know. Weekends are reserved for exciting hikes and different adventures! When the weather isn't great, I turn to a variety of engaging activities to keep them mentally stimulated. From challenging puzzle toys to stuffed Kongs filled with treats and even some rewarding training sessions, our time together is filled with enriching experiences.

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Xinrui! With years of experience and a deep love for animals, I’m so happy to be on Rover. I currently have two friendly Samoyeds at home, Arya and Ciri, and I also grew up with a beloved Golden Retriever family dog. These experiences have really honed my expertise and grew my genuine affection for our four-legged friends. I believe in cherishing the unique personalities of every pet I meet, offering regular walks, plenty of playtime, cuddles, and treats. If your dog craves both human and furry companionship, our home is the ideal place. We only care for one client at a time. For boarding and daycare, your pup would need to be comfortable, or at least not too anxious around bigger dogs, since both of my dogs are around 45lbs. Feel free to also check out their bio under “my pets” to see if their personalities/play style would suit your dog. For puppies under 2 years old, I recommend a pre-stay daycare to ensure we understand their behaviors in new environments, guaranteeing a perfect fit for both parties. For cat owners who are looking for care, I’m available for drop in visits. In the past, I’ve taken care of friends’ kittens while they were away for days and I also love spending time at cat cafes.

Thanks Xinrui so much for taking good care of Nico while we were out of town! Communication was super smooth, and we loved all the photos and videos she sent. Nico looked happy and well-loved. Highly recommended!

Xinrui and her family (and pups) watch Millie fairly regularly at this point. As usual, great communication and updates, and Millie is always well cared for. Would recommend to anyone!

Xinrui is great and my go-to sitter. She's so caring and sweet, leaves tons of videos and pictures so I know what my dog is up to, has amazing treats, and her dogs get along so well with mine, at this point I feel like I'm dropping my dog off to have a sleepover with her friends.
