Your Dog’s Second Best Friend
I’ve loved and cared for dogs for most of my life. Growing up, my family had a female Pomeranian who was with us for over 10 years, followed by a female Husky. Caring for them gave me experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities. Now I live with my partner and our spayed female Cockapoo, Loopy. Looking after her has taught me the importance of understanding each dog’s individual needs, routine and personality. I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs, including a large Old English Sheepdog, whom I bathed and cared for, as well as several Cockapoos. One of my friend’s Cockapoos even stayed overnight in our home for a week, so I’m experienced in helping dogs settle into a new environment and feel comfortable. I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I enjoy taking them for walks, visiting parks and going on countryside walks together. I always pay close attention to their behaviour, comfort and wellbeing, and I’ll care for your dog with the same love and attention that I give my own.

Ratings and reviews
Zixuan was very responsive, communicative and organised. She made sure Tilly was comfortable as she can be nervous, and Tilly ended up sleeping! Zixuan also shared lots of photos and updates, which was really reassuring. I would definitely book in with her again.
Zixuan took good care of our dogs. They really enjoyed their walk. We received regular photos and updates.
Great and fast communication and lovely to have my dog hang out with another friendly puppy.
Zodiac was extremely helpful and kind with looking after my dog. At very short notice she accommodated him and sent regular updates and pics which I really appreciate.
Nice garden for the dogs. Good communication and updates. Will definitely call on again to look after my pup.
We’re a French couple who were ending our road trip. Zixuan and her boyfriend looked after our dog Vulcain for a day so we could visit York. We met up the day before to make sure Loopy and Vulcain got on well. Vulcain had a perfect day with Zixuan! Games, walks… Pure happiness ! We got lots of photos and videos! I know it’s hard to leave your pets with someone you don’t know, but you can leave your pets with Zixuan with complete confidence. We were able to visit York knowing that our dog was having a brilliant day too. Thank you so much again!

Schedule
As a freelancer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention and companionship throughout the day. Caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily life, as I share my home with my partner and our lovely Cockapoo, Loopy. As a Cockapoo owner myself, I understand the energy, affection and attention this breed needs, and I’m always happy to adapt to each dog’s own routine and personality. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime or simply relaxing with people, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved and at home.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness will always come first. I have a friendly, spayed female Cockapoo who enjoys the company of other dogs. I introduce dogs gradually and never leave them together unsupervised until I’m confident they’re comfortable with each other. I’ll carefully follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication (if needed) and any special instructions. Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their personality and make sure they feel relaxed and secure. My goal is for your dog to enjoy their stay just as much as you enjoy your time away.
Pets
A typical day
Every dog is different, so I’ll always follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Throughout the day we’ll go out several times for toilet breaks, walks and playtime, with longer walks depending on your dog’s age, energy level and preferences. We have a secure enclosed dog park right outside our home, as well as our own private garden where dogs can safely play and relax. When the weather is nice and your dog enjoys adventures, we sometimes take trips to the beach or nearby national parks for longer walks and new places to explore. There will also be plenty of playtime, cuddles and rest, and I’ll send regular photos and videos so you can see how your dog is getting on while you’re away.

- Before your dog’s stay, I’d love to learn as much as possible about them. Please let me know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, any medical conditions or medications, allergies, likes and dislikes, and how they usually behave around other dogs and people. It’s also helpful to know whether they’re comfortable being left alone, if they have any fears or triggers, and any commands or training they’re familiar with. The more I know, the better I can make sure they feel safe, relaxed and at home during their stay.
