“Yuxin was great! She was quick to respond to messages, sent daily photo and video updates, and was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Our dog came home happy and tired after playing with her dog. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Our Ruby loved Yuxin! Daily updates and pictures of Ruby made us feel at ease on our week long trip. She was responsive before the stay to answer any questions. Thank you so much, Yuxin!! We will be booking again!”

“We had such a great experience with Xuxin! The day we left for a trip, our dog Wilson injured his paw, so we were a little nervous. She was very caring and communicated with us consistently about his injury and the activity he was participating in, sent lots of photos and made us feel comfortable with the situation. All in all he was very well taken care of and we are grateful for her help! We look forward to working with her again.”

“Yuxin took care of our dog, Vita, at her house while we were out of town for 4 days. Vita usually has very bad separation anxiety, but this time I didn't have to worry at all. She got along well with Yuxin's dog, they played together and had plenty of exercise. She sent pictures and videos every day, and was very responsive with messages. I would definitely book her again!”

“Yuxin was amazing with our dog and cat. They seemed right at home in her comfortable house, with a nice couch to lay on and a big window to look out into the neighborhood. Yuxin was responsive and responsible and we would definitely book her again.”

“Yuxin was amazing with Maru! She took such great care of him and kept me updated the whole time with lots of photos, which I loved. It was clear Maru was having a blast since she made sure he got plenty of playtime and physical activity, which he absolutely loves. Communication was super smooth from start to finish. I'd definitely book with Yuxin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter.”
