J’aurais apprécié, à l’arrivée, de voir l’environnement dans lequel notre chien aurait évolué durant le séjour au lieu de limiter nos échanges sur le seuil de la porte.

I appreciate Zhikun's willingness to take Luna on short notice when all of our other prospects had fallen through. I had not been aware of rover.com until a kennel owner turned us down because the notice was too short and then told me about it as an alternative. I basically signed up and made our booking that same day. Luna did lose a bit of weight but from our perspective that was a good thing because our vet. had been warning us about her being a little overweight.

Zhikun was great with Tommy and he gave me updates everyday. I will definitely leave my dog with him again.

My dogs had a wonderful time with zhikun. They enjoyed the walk in the park and when we picked them up, both were well behaved, fed and very happy.

We got a video every few days of our girl while on vacation! It was very much appreciated as we missed her so much.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide loving, attentive, and customized care based on each pet’s unique needs—At my home, pets enjoy a clean, cozy environment with plenty of playtime, rest, and affection. I keep a consistent feeding and walking schedule, and send regular photo/video updates to reassure pet parents. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, love, and reliability.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I care for is filled with love, comfort, and plenty of fun! We start with a morning walk to get some fresh air and light exercise, followed by breakfast and quiet bonding time. During the day, I engage the pets with stimulating play—like fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys to keep their minds active. For dogs that enjoy it, we might take another walk or play in a safe outdoor area. I also make sure they have time to relax and nap comfortably. In the evening, we wind down with gentle cuddles and another short walk before bedtime. I always adjust the routine to match each pet’s personality, energy level, and special needs.

zhikun can host up to 10 pets per night
Before boarding, it’s very helpful to know your pet’s daily routine, personality, and any specific needs. Please share if your pet has any medical issues, allergies, or requires medication. I’d also like to know their feeding schedule, potty habits, and sleep preferences—especially if they’re used to crates or need a special bed. Let me know if they are friendly with other pets or prefer personal space. The more I know, the better I can recreate a home-like environment and make their stay relaxing, safe, and enjoyable—just like a vacation for them!
