Information zhikun l. would like to know about your pet

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!

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.

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.

My golden retriever had a wonderful day with Zhikun! We were very satisfied! Definitely will come back for next boarding soon!

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

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
