Pet care experience

Let me be your dog's best friend!

I've been dog sitting and walking for 12 years for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities! Dogs love me because they sense my gentle and kind nature. I am great with shy or nervous dogs as I respect their boundaries and let them approach me at their own pace. I love to play with dogs and take them outside for walks or to the dog park!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I build trust with pets by approaching them with gentleness and patience, letting them go at their own pace when getting to know me. I am great at adjusting to their schedule and routines, so they have a sense of normalcy while you are away.

Xander was great with our boy. They suggested coming over a few times before we left so Jaxson could become familiar with them and I think that made a huge difference. It's clear our boy was taken care and interacted with. Highly recommend.

Xander has taken care of my two cats many times and every time has done a wonderful job keeping them company, their food bowl full, and their water bowl clean. Overall it's obvious that they care deeply for animals and can be trusted with your fur babies.

Xander is amazing with animals. He knows how to win over shy or nervous pets with his persistent patience and gentleness. He's great at keeping high energy cats and dogs moving and entertained as he loves to play with animals! He is very sweet and kind to any animal he comes across. Xander is also very reliable, responsible, and trustworthy when it comes to taking care of other's pets. I highly recommend him for all your pet sitting needs!

I thrive on written, detailed instructions for caring for your pet. Let me know of any special needs or behaviors your pet may display with other people or animals.
