Pet care experience

I’ve been a dog lover since day one. My family had a pup when I was little, and now my wife and I have our own furry best friend, his name is Pepper!!! We’re all about giving dogs the love and attention they deserve, whether that’s snuggling on the couch or heading out for an adventure. We’re pros at keeping pups happy with hikes, camping trips, and plenty of playtime. I’m patient, passionate, and treat every dog like family. Whether your pup loves long walks or just belly rubs and treats, they’ll feel right at home with us! Where Your Pets Vacation While You’re Away!

Thank you for caring for Ruby today. She appeared to have a good day spending time in your home. I appreciate the updates through the day. 🐶 Your kindness and attention is great.

Yitao, Xiao and Pepper took amazing care of Bheema while we were away. Yitao and Xiao provided prompt communication through the booking process and were so accomodating and friendly. Bheema grew fond of them very quickly! We loved the updates throughout the day - was great to see what he was upto throughout the day, clearly spending time doing the things he loves, with lots of walks, play time and cuddles. Was our first time leaving Bheema alone but Yitao and Xiao helped us feel at ease knowing he was in good care and happy. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking in the future.

Thank you Yitao and Xiao for taking such good care of our Zoey. We could tell she was in very good hands and really appreciate the photos and sweet videos you sent throughout her time with you. We will definitely be bringing Zoey back to you again.

5 stars all around. We made a last minute booking with Ariel and Ron to look after our little Milo. Our little guy is a homebody and can be shy. They were amazing with him, they kept us updated daily on how he was doing with lots of pictures and videos. He came home happy and even a little bit more social. Highly recommend both of them, they are amazing fur babysitters 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️

Safety, trust & environment

We’ve got a fenced yard where pups can play and roam freely, and our super friendly dog is always up for a game of tag or a playdate! Dogs are welcome to relax on the furniture or bed—after all, they deserve to be comfy just like us. They’re free to explore the house, except for the pantry (because, you know, snacks are off-limits!). Our place is on a quiet dead-end street, so walks are nice and safe with less traffic. It’s all about creating a safe, cozy, and fun environment where your dog can feel right at home!

Information Yitao & Xiao J. would like to know about your pet

It’s super helpful to know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors so I can make sure they have the best time possible while they’re with me. Whether they need extra care with food, medications, or have a favorite toy, I’m here to make them feel at home. My preference is for breeds that are friendly, easygoing, and love playtime—whether that means chasing after a ball or just hanging out on the couch for cuddles. Let me know anything specific about your dog, and I’ll tailor their stay to make it extra comfy!

A typical day

A typical day is full of fun and adventure! We start with a walk to the park nearby, where we can sniff around and enjoy the sights and smells. If we're feeling extra adventurous, we’ll head out for a leashed trail walk and explore the great outdoors together. When we're back home, it's time for some indoor fun—fetch the ball, hide and seek, and of course, some treats for being good pups! We also love winding down with a little "Bluey" show on the TV, snuggling up and sharing some snacks. It’s a perfect mix of play, relaxation, and bonding time!

Availability

As a full-time student with most of my courses online, I spend a lot of time at home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for dogs. My wife works part-time, so her schedule is pretty flexible too. Together, we’ve got the time and energy to give pups all the attention they need. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some quiet cuddles, we’re always here to keep them happy and comfortable!
