I'll care for your pup like my own!
Pet care experience
Hello, I’m Xinyi, a fun and loving pet sitter! I have a great amount of patience for dogs as well as the energy it takes to keep up with them. I adopted my dog two years ago from a shelter in Oregon. When I first got him, his health, mentality, and temperament were all in poor condition. I helped my pup learn to trust people and overcome the separation anxiety he was experiencing. I also trained him not to pick up food from the floor or bark at children. He’s come a long since I first adopted him –– I’m really proud of him. Although I don’t have any professional experience caring for canines outside of Rover, my experience with my own pooch makes me an excellent dog sitter. I live in a one-bedroom apartment. My furry guests can play in my living room –– I don’t mind at all if they get up on my furniture. I’m a part-time student, but I spend most of my time at home, so I’m able to focus plenty attention on pet sitting. When I dog sit, I always respect both my canine and human clients. I’ll follow your instructions and care for your pet exactly how you want me to. As a rescue dog owner, I have so much love for all types of pups.
Reviews
It was my first time using rover service and I am very glad that I found a sitter that I would love to come back to! Xinyi takes care of my dog very very well, and she constantly sends me updates about how he is doing. I can definitely see that my dog was having such a good time there! She even gave my dog her own food when the food I brought got run out. I would absolutely come back and reuse the service again with Xinyi if I’m ever gonna go vacation again. She treats my dog as her own no doubt!
Xinyi was a fantastic sitter!
Xinyi was great! Super prompt in responding to messages - generally minutes or less. Throughout the stay, she sent me a ton of photos of little Evie. My pupper came back very happy and healthy. Would definitely recommend!
We received lots of pictures and updates on our Billy while we were away! We definitely recommend Xinyi and Steven!

Information Xinyi & Steven Z. would like to know about your pet
My dog and I love Chihuahuas, but I’m open to caring for all different breeds. Before pet sitting, I’d like to know about your pup’s temperament, eating requirements, exercise schedule, and favorite toys.
A typical day
When I meet a new pooch, the first thing I do is squat down to their level. Next, I’ll talk to the dog softly and let them smell me. After that, I’ll ask the owner if I can give them treats. If I’m only providing day services, I’ll take your pup for a walk through the neighborhood. If they are staying with me overnight, we can do a little more exploring. We might head over to Discovery Park or hike up some dog trails like Poo Poo Point. With your approval, I’d like to give your dog the freedom to do what they enjoy most. They can play with toys, lounge around in my apartment, cuddle with me, or just be alone! As a part-time student, I have a flexible schedule and am able to focus a lot of my time on pet sitting. I reply to text messages quickly and always take awesome pictures of the dogs I look after to send to their owners. I’ll be sure to carefully follow all your instructions when it comes to feeding your pup and giving them treats. I completely understand how much dog owners worry about their fur babies when they are in the care of another person, so I’ll update you frequently with what we’re up to.
