As I am currently finalizing my PhD thesis and preparing for my defense in late April, I work almost entirely from home. My research is computer-based, which gives me a highly flexible daily routine. Work-from-home days: I am at home most of the week, allowing me to provide consistent companionship and stick to your pet’s specific feeding or walking schedule (especially Friday - Monday for four days). Office days: I usually head to the office 2–3 days a week (9 am – 5 pm). On these days, I am still available for morning or evening visits. Flexibility: Because I manage my own hours, I can easily accommodate last-minute requests or provide extra attention to pets that may need more frequent check-ins.

Safety, trust & environment

I moved to Sweden from China in 2019 after finishing my bachelor’s studies in Beijing. I completed a joint master’s program at KI, SU, and KTH, and subsequently enrolled in my PhD program at KTH, which I am now nearly finishing. My life is very simple and disciplined, centered around my research and school life. My Environment: I live in a dedicated student housing area where 100% of the tenants are university students from Stockholm, ensuring a very safe and secure environment. My apartment is clean and tidy; I have lived here alone with my cat, Lexi, for the past four years. It is a quiet and stable home. Trust & Care: When visiting your home, I am extremely cautious and respectful. I naturally prioritize keeping everything clean and organized. I'm highly disciplined and detail-oriented. I will follow the instructions and treat your home and your pets with the utmost care.

Pet care experience

I have grown up with pets my entire life and find great joy in their company. My experience started at age 6 with my first Chihuahua, who was part of our family for ten years. Later, I cared for a Poodle and her three puppies, and for the past 9.5 years, I have been looking after our energetic Border Collie, handling his daily walks and feeding to keep him happy and healthy. Currently, as a PhD student at KTH, I am a proud owner of Lexi, a cat I’ve raised from 3 months old to her current age of 4. She is incredibly active and has remained in perfect health under my care. Beyond my own pets, I regularly help friends and family with their dogs and cats, including rescued stray cats and kittens. Whether it’s an energetic dog or a sensitive cat, I am confident in providing the care and attention they need.

Our dog stayed with Xiya for 8 days when we were traveling abroad. She took such great care of him and sent photos of him every day. I warmly recommend her, she is a very reliable and knowledgeable with dogs. I will not hesitate to ask Xiya to take care of our dog in the future!

Xiya is a responsible and caring person who truly loves animals. She helped take care of my cat before and was very patient and attentive. My cat was very shy, but he felt comfortable around her. I would trust her to take great care of any pet. I highly recommend Xiya as a reliable and loving pet caregiver.
