I have a small fenced yard and dog doors. I don’t have a crate. Dogs are free spirit at my home, they are allowed in sofa and bed (after potting training). My very friendly golden retriever will keep your dogs company and wear out your puppy’s energy.

Information Xinrui L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if he/she has any special needs, potting schedule, food preference and such. For boarding, I prefer dogs do one day overnight boarding/daycare first and see if they get along. *New User Manual: You can send inquiries to multiple sitters first and schedule a meet&greet. We both have opportunity to evaluate if it’s a fit during meet&greet. Once I feel comfortable to take your dog, I will confirm on my end. And you have opportunity to either finish payment and lock the calendar or book other candidates.

A typical day

Walk at neighborhood park, play fetch, explore trails, play with my golden retriever, Walk around in the neighborhood, play in my fenced back yard, etc.

Fenced Yard Dog Door Playful Golden

Pet care experience

I’ve raised my puppy golden since she was 2 months and have taken her to different training classes. I’m great with energetic pups and love watching them play! Lucky and I offer: - only host 1-2 guest dogs at a time. - modern house w a small fenced backyard, lawns & shaded outdoor play area. - potting free & free roaming doggie doors. Our dogs love this! - no crate environment, dogs are allowed on cozy sofa and bed. - playful & friendly golden retriever company. (Lucky hangs out well from 10bl toy poodle to 80bl dogs of her size. She respects boundary too once she figures out your dog is an introvert.) - work from home human affection - off leash trail adventure if your dog is good at recall. I don’t host dogs: - w separation anxiety, vocal/ excessive barking. - pitbull (mix)/ any signs of aggression. - male dogs keep humping Lucky. - adult dog didn’t finish potting training.

Xinrui was great at communicating and sending updates/pictures while taking care of our baby! Will happily be booking again whenever we need help 🙂

Drop-In Visits • Oct 16, 2025

We booked Xinrui for a drop in visit. She was communicative and was able to take our request with a week’s notice, which we greatly appreciate. However, we left specific instruction for her to only use the front yard, to stay in the playpen area and refill water in proximity to that area, and to keep our puppy on leash when she goes outside, and we were not pleased to see on our home camera that she used the backyard, went into our living space, and had our puppy off leash. We had given detailed instruction to make the drop in visit straightforward for the sitter and give us peace of mind for the safety of our home and puppy and felt uncomfortable with the departure from our instructions. Unfortunately, we will not book with Xinrui again for drop in visits.

Xinrui is the best! We have boarded our dog Parker with her many times. We always get a lot of pictures and videos of him having a great time, looking very happy and comfortable. She also has a golden retriever that’s very sweet and loves to play with our dog. Whenever I go out of town, I prefer to book with Xinrui because I always have peace of mind knowing Parker is being well taken care of.
