Safety, trust & environment

I only board one dog or cat at a time unless your pet enjoys socializing. This helps ensure they get my full attention and avoids any risk of stress or conflicts with other animals. I live right above a large community park that’s perfect for dogs. It has a big grassy area for play, an off-leash dog park for more freedom, and plenty of dog waste bag stations for convenience. The park is a popular spot for dog owners, providing a safe and well-equipped environment for dogs to exercise, socialize, and have fun. It’s an ideal setup for caring for dogs/cats who love outdoor activities. In addition to the park right below my building, there’s a larger off-leash dog park at the Aberdeen Community Park, just a five-minute walk away. This means there are multiple great spots nearby for dogs to play, exercise, and explore, making it an ideal area for dogs to have fun outdoor activities.

Information Xinyu X. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog/cat: 1. Dietary Needs: Feeding schedule, food preferences, and any allergies. 2. Health Information: Medical history, medications, or special care instructions. 3. Behavioral Traits: Temperament, likes/dislikes, and triggers (e.g., fear of loud noises). 4. Exercise Preferences: Activity level and favorite ways to play or relax. 5. Routine: Daily habits, potty schedule, and sleeping arrangements. 6. Socialization: How they interact with other pets or people.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I care for is filled with fun, attention, and love! For dogs, mornings start with a refreshing walk at the nearby park, where they can explore, sniff, and stretch their legs. If they’re playful, we’ll have some fetch or tug-of-war on the large grassy area or even visit the off-leash dog park for social time. For cats, I provide interactive play sessions with toys. Throughout the day, I ensure they’re well-fed, hydrated, and comfortable, with plenty of downtime to relax in a stress-free environment. Each activity is tailored to the pet’s personality and energy level.

Purrfect Care with 24/7 Updates

Pet care experience

With 15 years of experience caring for my own Pekingese (my little fluffy buddy who sadly passed away a few years ago), I learned a lot about understanding dogs and their needs. I haven’t had another dog since, but I stay involved by volunteering with RAPS and fostering dogs through local organizations. I focus on providing safe, calm, and loving care for every dog that stays with me. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or keeping their routine stable, I’ll make sure your pup feels comfortable and well taken care of. For boarding, I offer three walks a day to keep your pup happy and active. I treat every dog like my own, and I’m here to make their stay comfortable, stress-free, and full of love.

Bella is an amazing sitter! She kept me updated the whole time and spoiled Ori with treats. Ori completely adores her, and it's so obvious she has a real love for pets. We'll definitely be back!

Another successful petsitting by Xinyu! Bravo! She has been patient and gentle with Coconut. I was rest assured that she knew how deal with Coco’s mood and character. She is my no. 1 to go to for Coconut’s petsitting. Thanks, Xinyu.

Xinyu was absolutely amazing! Super friendly, very prompt, and kept me updated throughout the day with lots of photos and videos, which I really appreciated. Cindy was clearly very happy and well cared for. She’ll be my go-to sitter moving forward! :)

Coconut is a very picky and sassy little prince. Somehow, Xinyu managed to assist him and he seemed happy. Thanks, Xinyu.
