Services

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 (2 hours 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.🫶🏼

Safety, trust & environment

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.😌

This was my first time using Rover and I was worried about how it would go, but I'm so glad I gave it a try and found Xinyu! She is friendly, positive, and considerate, and really went above what was asked (thank you for taking my packages inside for me..!). Xinyu was diligent with the schedule and followed care instructions to the letter. I would definitely book her again next time I'm out of town. 🖤🐈‍⬛
