Pet care experience

Happy pet, happy home!

I've taken care of pets for years and I volunteered for animal shelters. While most of my experience has been with cats, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs on several occasions. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, and providing basic care for dogs of various sizes and temperaments. I take time to ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I’m always ready to learn more about their individual needs. Whether it’s giving them attention, going for walks, or simply being a friendly companion, I’m committed to providing the same level of care and dedication to dogs as I do with cats.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I prioritize creating a calm and safe environment, ensuring any pets I care for feel comfortable alongside my three cats. I monitor interactions to ensure a peaceful atmosphere for everyone, providing separate spaces if needed. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I strive to maintain their usual routines as closely as possible. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, playtime, and any special instructions, always ensuring the pets feel at ease in their familiar surroundings. Whether at my place or yours, I’m dedicated to their happiness and well-being.

Joyce is the best! I was worried Mimi would not get her daily walk when we were on our vacation. Joyce was so patient with getting to know Mimi. Thanks to Joyce, she took Mimi out rain or shine everyday! Highly recommended Joyce to anyone who needs a dog walker!

Joyce (Xinyi) has been dropping in on my dog for a couple weeks now and has been very communicative and helpful! My dog Ava immediately rolled over for belly scratches on the first drop in, so she gets Ava’s stamp of approval as well. We will continue to reach out to her for help.

Xinyi is such a caring dog walker. She just not do her job well but she goes beyond. She is communicative without being overbearing—sending updates, photos, or quick check-ins so you’re never left wondering. She reaches out in a timely manner when issues happen.

Xinyi is very accomodating and flexible on her schedule. She is very patient and caring with Fiigs esp during their walks. She quickly responds and adjusts when a schedule change is necessary.
