Eva/Xiaoxiao

Hello, I'm Eva. You can also call me Xiao xiao. 🙆🏻‍♀️

I'm a med translator, speaking Chinese, English, French and understand a bit Danish and learning Dutch. I have graduated from university and settled in Belgium since 2017, previously lived in Brussels and Wallonia, this year I moved to Antwerp. Currently I live in a 100m2 apartment with fully fenced terrace, no garden but just next to Bisschoppenhof, and with the access to Hondenpark Alfons Schneiderlaan, Bremweide, Ertbrugg within 1km, and 2.5km to Rivierenhof and Park Groot Schijn. Your dogs will have plenty of outdoor time and can stay in any space at my home.

I live in a very quiet street and barking could cause intense anxiety and complain from neighbours, so if your pet is loud, let me know before booking.

Animals hold a huge fascination for me and are a source of inspiration. I was born in a family with medical background and psychological knowledge. From a young age I knew I wanted to work with animals. I learned a lot about cannie behavioural psychology, volunteered in the S.P.A (shelter) and had a training session in dog salon for dog wash and grooming. That combined the fact that I'm a dog mom myself for decades. I started the petsitting after Covid, back to the time I lived in a big house with 500m2 garden, that way I already experienced many large and energetic dogs, without any accidents. So far, I have extensive experience with general bichon family (Havanese, Maltese, Bolognese, Tenerife), Maltipoo, Shiba, Akita, Westie, Husky, Samoyed, Labrador, Schnauzer, Pitbull, Pug, Chowchow, Shar Pei, Corgi, Poodle, Golden Retriever, Pomeranian, Chihuahua, Yorkie, Shih Tzu, Jack Russell, Barbet, Malinois, Spaniel, Border collie, general terrier type. Worthy to mention, Chinese/Japanese dogs are the regional dogs of where I came from, I am highly familiar with their characters and have been active on shiba rescue. The stubborn dogs are definitely welcome.

Honestly, my work nature is alternative, I don't have a fixed routine and usually too busy at the weekend and relatively free on Monday to Thursday. So please message me with the detailed time for pick up/ drop off. I offer different types of services:

Walking: 30mins/dog park between 7am to 9pm.

Daycare: Choose 10 hours from 7am to 7pm, including feed+ 1h walk. The overtime will be charged for 5 or 10€ depending on the time needed. When it's out of the time range, it will be counted for boarding.

Home visit: A house visit is usually 30mins for cat feeding, including collecting mails and watering plants, only available in 2100,2140. If you are leaving for days even weeks, this is absolutely not a real solution, please use housesitting.

Boarding: 24hours supervision ( with camera) + 1h walk+ feed + clean + behavioural correction.

Housesitting: Available for Antwerp region, same as boarding but staying at your place. I expect it's a place with own parking or access by public transport.

At the end of the day, a report will be provided about behaviour, hygiene, food, walk and any situations, with minimum 1 photo. Video can only be sent on WhatsApp.

Food, walking equipment, and any cleaning supplies are not included. This is the standardised, every dog has different allergies and preferences. I offer various types of toys, bench with bed and sniffing pad. My place has installed a pet camera, so don't worry about short leave.

Moreover, as a bird enthusiast, I have raised king parrot, budgie, quails, chicken, call duck, goose, cockatiel. They didn't move with me, but I already experienced from hatching to breed. Incubator care could also be a service.

Please note that I only accept vaccinated pets. Passport/medical papers are necessary to bring if staying over the night. In the peak season, it can be more than one dog per day.

The additional costs are not included. Such as, vet, emergency, transportation, sudden death, extra food, dewormer, fees from service postponement/ extension due to your personal circumstances or force majeure, etc. In case of home damage or vet visit, the owner will receive a bill later.

Sometimes changes can happen, make sure we communicate and rearrange at least one day earlier. Once the service starts, no flexibility or refund. Be on time, be well prepared, be aware that any change can have effects on others.

For those dogs who are hyperactive, having separation anxiety (bring something with home smell.), have allergies, behavioural issues, suffering from diseases and taking medication, must discuss with me before booking.

For senior dogs, I can give extra care but it is important to know that there are 30 steps staircases at my home. Diaper and other disability assistance device are required. Overall, I would suggest using housesitting.

For housesitting, let me know about keys and camera. In order to avoid misunderstandings, make a list with what I should do and where I can't step in.

For recurring clients or a regular booking over months, we can negotiate on a long-term plan.

At last,I would like you to come for a dog walk before the actual reservation. A boarding test is ideal and reasonable for new client, especially when it's the first time for your dogs to go to a total stranger. I have a female shiba, she is independent, stubborn, calm and selectively social (don’t get along with hyperactive dogs who ruin her peace). She is afraid of stranger, bags and the metallic sound. She might not like a new dog from the first sight, after a play date she always joins the new pack. She never has had any accident with other dogs. If necessary, it’s an option to let her stay on terrace or sleep at my in laws. Stress free.👌

24/7 supervision is forever a priority, I wish everyone can relax and enjoy the stay.

Feel free to reach out. (Text 0493711510/ IG sheandherwolfpack)
