Reliable, Loving Care in a Family Home 🐶❤️
Hi! I’m Javier 🐾—a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments. Whether your pup is high-energy and needs long walks 🐕🦺 or a senior dog who prefers gentle company 🐶💤, I tailor my care to meet their needs. I’ve worked with dogs at every stage of life—from playful puppies in training to seniors needing medication or mobility support. I provide more than just basic care—I offer affection, structure, enrichment, and a calm, family-oriented environment where your pet will feel safe and loved. 🏡 Our home is shared with my partner Maria, who is also a registered caretaker with Rover and protected by the Rover Guarantee, and my dog-loving kids, who are gentle, respectful, and always happy to help with cuddles while always being under my supervision. If your dog enjoys a warm, friendly household with lots of attention, they’ll feel right at home here! 🐕 We also live just minutes from beautiful local parks and trails, so your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air, sniffing adventures, and tail-wagging walks in nature. Clients love my attention to detail, daily photo updates 📸, and the genuine bond I form with every dog I meet. My home is pet-friendly with a secure, fenced garden and plenty of cosy spots for nap time—or I can come to you! In addition to boarding, I offer personalized dog walking services 🚶♂️🐶—perfect for busy pet parents or dogs who need regular exercise and stimulation. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a long stroll through the neighbourhood, I always tailor each walk to your dog’s energy and comfort level. Let’s set up a meet & greet—I’d love to get to know you and your furry best friend! 🐾💛

Ratings and reviews
We were so worried leaving our Yuki for the first time but Javier really put our minds at ease, sent lots of updates and it’s very clear to see that Yuki felt safe, settled and happy! Thank you so much again and I’m sure Yuki will be back soon ☺️
Thank you Javier
We had a very positive experience dealing with Javier and Bubbles seemed to really enjoy his time with the family. Will definitely be booking again.
Highly recommended. We went for a meet and greet first, my dogs were well looked after, regular updates on how they were doing, and came home very happy pooches. Thanks Javier and family
Would 100% recommend Javier and will use him again. He was so attentive towards Marley, making sure she and myself felt re-assured it was the first time leaving her and he made it so much less stressful sending pictures and texts every day.
Woody had another great stay with Javier and sent updates throughout the day. It’s clear that Woody was well looked after as he came over a happy boy!

Schedule
Pet care is a big part of my daily routine! I work from home, which means I’m around throughout the day to provide regular walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and cuddles. Your dog will never be left alone for long stretches. Morning walks 🐾, midday play sessions 🌞, and relaxed evenings with plenty of attention and affection are all part of the usual rhythm here. Weekends are typically more relaxed, perfect for longer walks in the park or outdoor playtime in the garden. Because I only care for a small number of dogs at once, I’m able to stay fully focused on each dog’s needs and routine—including feeding schedules, medication, and preferred walk times. Whether your pup is an early riser or a midday snoozer, I can adjust to make them feel right at home!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, together with your peace of mind during their stay. Every pup gets the individual attention they deserve without feeling overwhelmed. I have a secure, fully fenced garden where your dog can play, sniff, and explore safely under supervision. To ensure a peaceful environment, dogs are fed separately and kept in their own sleeping areas at bedtime—ideal for maintaining routine and preventing any food or space-related tension. Our home is family-friendly, with dog-savvy kids who are gentle and respectful with animals. If your dog enjoys a lively, loving household with plenty of attention, they’ll feel right at home here!

A typical day
A typical day is all about making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and part of the family! I usually start with a morning walk 🐾 around the neighbourhood or a nearby park to stretch those legs and burn off some energy. Then it’s breakfast time, followed by some relaxed downtime or cuddles—depending on your dog’s routine. Throughout the day, there are regular potty breaks, play sessions in our fenced garden. If your dog enjoys company, they'll feel right at home. In the afternoon, we might head out for another walk or enjoy some sun in the yard ☀️. Evenings are quieter—perfect for snuggling, a final stroll, and winding down before bedtime in a comfy, separate sleeping area. Every day is structured but flexible, and I always tailor the schedule to match your pet’s needs, energy level, and personality.
