I’m in my gap year to apply for law school so my schedule is flexible to play with pups🐶 and kittens🐱.🥳 I’m usually available from 9:30am to 7:30pm. I also offer long walks (1 hour or more), which give your pup a daily Central Park experience. Bookings are welcome on both weekdays and weekends. Let me know if you need help with dog walking & drop in visits.🫶🏼

Extra Patience & Extra Caring 🫶🏼

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats (fish, turtle, hamster and etc.) for family and friends. I pick up on pets’ needs easily and connect with them naturally. I’m also sensitive to pets’ emotions and naturally treat them like family. 🫶🏼 I do my best to create a safe environment and a positive experience for every visit and walk. I believe good communication is the key to a better experience. I will always keep you updated in real time with photos and videos.

Xinyu was very responsive, professional, and most of all spent time with my cat! My cat is very easy to care for but she really struggles not having cuddles while I am away, and I always worry when she doesn't get cuddle time with a sitter! Xinyu seemed to put in the time to bond with her and sent me thorough updates. She treated my cat as if she were her own. I would highly recommend her services! My cat is looking forward to the next visit! ☺️

Xinyu took excellent care of my cats while I was out of town for a week! She was so kind, and super communicative. She sent lots of pictures and detailed updates every day. Absolutely recommend her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
