Availability

I’m in my gap year to apply for law school so my schedule is flexible to play with pups🐶 and kittens🐱.🥳 I’m usually available from 9:30am to 7:30pm. I also offer long walks (1 hour or more), which give your pup a daily Central Park experience. Bookings are welcome on both weekdays and weekends. Let me know if you need help with dog walking & drop in visits.🫶🏼

Your pets are free to be little explorers while I make sure they stay safe during our walks.🐕‍🦺🦮🐈‍⬛🐈 I will always keep you posted with pictures and videos — I truly believe good communication creates a better experience for both you and your pets.

Information Xinyu Z. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have special needs and I will customize the route/schedule accordingly. I’d also love to know whether they prefer interacting with people or other pups. Is your pet a little diplomat or an independent queen/king?

A typical day

Checking out all the new smells in the neighborhood and exploring beautiful nearby parks are definitely my favorite activities with dogs. I’m also open to playing games with your pet if there’s any preference.

Cat care experience

I’ve been taken care of dogs and cats (also other pets like fish,turtles…) for family and friends. I pick up on pets’ needs easily and connect with them naturally. I’m also sensitive to pets emotions and naturally engage with them like family. 🫶🏼 I can tell when a cat wants attention or needs personal space.😌

Xinyu took excellent care of my cats while I was out of town for a week! She was so kind, and super communicative. She sent lots of pictures and detailed updates every day. Absolutely recommend her!

This was our second time booking Xinyu and we couldn’t be happier. She is kind, attentive and truly cares about the pets she looks after. Jessi is an older cat with her own little routines and Xinyu paid close attention to every detail and made sure she felt comfortable and loved while we were away. Jessi was happy to see her every day, enjoyed spending time with her and that gave us so much peace of mind while traveling. We received thoughtful updates, videos and photos after every visit and we always knew Jessi was in great hands. We will definitely book Xinyu again. Highly recommend! ❤️
