Availability

I spend most of my time at home, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I follow a consistent routine with regular feeding, potty breaks, and light exercise. I provide a calm and comfortable environment and am best suited for dogs with moderate or lower energy levels, so they can feel relaxed and at ease during their stay.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a very pet-friendly apartment community. My home has a comfortable private patio where dogs can relax, enjoy fresh air, and sunbathe safely. Right downstairs, there’s a fenced dog park where dogs can safely go off-leash for potty breaks and light activity, making daily care convenient and stress-free. I always ensure dogs are in a safe, calm, and clean environment.

Information Xiuhui H. would like to know about your pet

Things I’d love to know about your pet ahead of time: 1. Whether your dog is friendly with other dogs 2. Daily routine and habits 3. Health condition or any special needs 4. Diet, feeding schedule, and any supplements I keep a consistent schedule and am usually in bed by 11 PM and up around 7 AM. If you message me late at night, I may not see it right away, but I’ll respond first thing in the morning. I truly love animals and feel grateful to care for such sweet pups. At the moment, I specialize in dog care (not cats), and every dog in my care receives plenty of love, attention, and patience. 💛🐾

A typical day

A typical day includes regular potty breaks, short walks, and plenty of companionship. I follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules and any special needs. I also provide daily photo and video updates so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Dogs are never left alone for long periods and always receive attention, patience, and care.

Full-Time Safe & Loving Dog Care

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Xiuhui (Sophie). I’m a dedicated dog sitter with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I have a poodle of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, grooming, feeding, and creating a calm, structured environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s habits, diet, and emotional needs, and follow their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide a safe, low-stress, and loving home away from home. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs who may need extra attention. Over the years, my own dog has experienced various health conditions, so I’m patient and comfortable providing gentle, attentive care when needed. I intentionally keep my boarding small (usually 1–2 dogs at a time), so each dog receives focused attention, consistent supervision, and personalized care. You’re always welcome to schedule a meet & greet to see if it’s a good fit.

Sophie took such great care of our Oni girl. She sent photos, video and updates throughout the day. We loved seeing how much fun she was having with Sophie. Thank you for taking such great care of her! We will definitely book Sophie again.

OMG. This was the best sitter experience I have ever had on and off rover!!! I am so glad Sophie was available and that I chose her. The consistent updates were 10/10 and exceeded my expectations. Any concern or if she wanted to give Kali an extra treat, she would run by me since Kali has food allergies. We found our dog sitter for life!! Thank you so much Sophie and husband for taking the best care of my pup. Kali had the best time and I had NO worries whatsoever! It was like I never left 🤍

Xiuhui was wonderful with our dog, Pepper! Pepper always gets very anxious when she knows we are going on a trip and has a hard time when we leave, often whining a bit. Xiuhui was incredibly patient with her and made Pepper feel comfortable and safe almost immediately. We received great updates throughout our trip, which gave us total peace of mind. We couldn't be happier with the care Pepper received and will definitely be booking with Xiuhui again!

Xiuhui is an amazing dog sitter and made our first boarding experience so smooth and stress-free. My dog was very nervous at the beginning, but Xiuhui was incredibly patient, experienced, and caring, and helped him adjust to the new environment very quickly. She sent me daily updates and treated my baby like her own dog, which gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was always fast and thoughtful, and I truly felt my dog was in the best hands. Highly recommend!
