Highlights
Pet care experience
a 100% dog person but I have a cat
I'm the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, a shelter foster volunteer, and a proud cat mom to a very opinionated Siamese named Mimi. I've fostered four puppies with medical needs, so I'm comfortable with extra care, medication routines, and lots of patience. Whether your pet is a zoomie-powered puppy, a senior looking for a comfy nap spot, or a cat who demands attention on their own terms, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Plenty of cuddles, playtime, photo updates, and treats (if approved by their humans!) included.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Absolutely wonderful dog sitter! Excellent communication, always on time, and the photos from each visit were so comforting and reassuring. Most importantly, my dog was incredibly happy and relaxed when I returned. I felt completely confident knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!
So grateful for all she did for my pets! Went above and beyond!
Xinyu is amazing! My shy and sometimes mean cat immediately liked her! She was very thorough and kept me up to date. I would definitely recommend :)
Super attentative and communication-centered, Xinyu took care of Stella like she was her own

Schedule
I graduated from Vanderbilt for my master degree in May 2025, and moved to Sarasota in Sep 2025. I work fully remote in Healthcare so I will be at home all the time. I can do after 6PM for drop in visit on weekdays and all day on weekends:)

Me and my partner live in a large 2b2b apartment, along with our cat Mimi. We only do cat boarding and one cat at a time:)
Pets
A typical day
Friends often trust me to care for their cats and dogs. I’ve looked after Boba, a very energetic 2-year-old doodle who loves runs and long walks around campus, and Theo, a calm and smart 7-year-old Westie who prefers peaceful walks in familiar neighborhoods or playing fetch with toys. I adjust my care to each pet’s personality and comfort level.
- CatsXinyu can host up to 1 pet per night
- I only offer cat boarding for one cat at a time to ensure a calm environment and the best possible care for each cat. Please let me know your cat’s eating routine, the amount of food to feed, and any medication needs ahead of time so I can provide consistent and proper care. Thank you! You can also tell me what he/she likes and doesn't likes.
