I’m currently on a career break, which gives me a flexible schedule for drop-in visits. I plan my days around my own dogs’ routine and client visits, so it’s easy to coordinate and keep things consistent.

My goal is to make each visit feel easy and reassuring, knowing everything is handled thoughtfully while you’re away.

Information Xinzhi O. would like to know about your pet

Before confirming a drop-in visit, I like to arrange a short meet & greet at your home so your pup can meet me in a familiar space. It’s also a nice chance for us to chat through your expectations and make sure everyone feels comfortable before the first visit. It’s helpful to know how your dog reacts to new people, what kind of activities they enjoy, and any routines or sensitivities I should keep in mind. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep communication open, so each visit feels easy and reassuring for both you and your pup. 🐾

A typical day

🐶 Each visit starts with a friendly hello and a quick check to make sure your pup is doing well. I follow the plan you’ve outlined — whether that means a walk, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company for a bit. I like to keep things calm and positive, giving your pup the right balance of care and space so they feel comfortable in their own routine. You’ll receive a short visit summary and photos during or after each drop-in, so you can stay connected and know how everything went.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Xin (pronounced “Zin”)! For the past four years, I’ve been raising my mini Goldendoodle, Bella — 23 lbs of gentle sweetness who’s great with both dogs and people. 💛 We recently welcomed a new puppy, Audrey, into our family, so while I focus on her early training, I’m currently offering Drop-In Visits/ Dog Walking only instead of boarding or daycare. Once Audrey settles into her routine, I may reopen those services again — thank you for understanding during this little transition phase! Having cared for many small dogs through hosting, I’ve learned how to create a calm, structured routine that helps pups feel secure and relaxed. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a feeding visit, or some one-on-one playtime, I bring the same patience and consistency that I give to my own dogs. My approach combines a calm temperament with close attention to detail — qualities that help pups feel comfortable and understood from the very first visit.

Xinzhi was amazing with my puppy! She was very responsive to any messages and sent lots of pictures and updates to let me know how he was doing. She even worked on some commands with him to help train him since he is still young. I highly recommend booking Xinzhi for your dog!

She’s very friendly and exceeded my expectations. Really good with communication and troubleshooted well. She takes an abundance of wonderful pictures and I think my dog really likes her. I would definitely recommend I will be rebooking!
