Safety, trust & environment

I would like to come over to your house and watch them all day feed them, play with them, walk them, and give them plenty of time with fun! Maybe give them a treat or two. For cats I will clean the litter box, feed them give them water, play with them, and brush them.

Information Javier R. would like to know about your pet

I don't like too big of dogs ideally smaller pets are the better ones especially for me. I would need some contact info if any emergency so I can take them to the vet as quickly as possible.

A typical day

I love taking dogs walks so maybe taking an evening walk with them would be ideal around the neighborhood. I also love playing fetch with dogs. With cats I love cuddling up with them taking naps or playing some toys with them too.

I love Pet Sitting

Pet care experience

I do work an 8 hr job 5-days a week. I taken care of my grandparents pets for years and I love them. I love playing fetch with dogs and always up for a furry snuggle. I always make sure that the animals come first by ensuring they use the bathroom frequently. And they always have enough food along with water at all times. Although I like doing a meet and greet prior to sitting with your pets. I like a 2-weeks prior notice beforehand so we can go ahead and do a meeting and greet then most likely get it booked/confirmed.

Javier was wonderful! I felt totally at peace on my vacation knowing my dog was well taken care of. He respected my home and took great care of both my dog and my home! I highly recommend Javier if you need a fur baby sitter!

Javier did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs. He left our place clean, went above and beyond by washing his bedding, the dishes, and took out the trash, and sent pictures as he promised. My dogs did not seem stressed when we got home. Definitely will use Javier again and would recommend him to others.

As usual, Javier is really fantastic. He takes such great care of our 14 year old blind Westie, as well as our house. He keeps us updated when with regular photos.bWe are fortunate to be able to have him take care of our dog. She always seems relaxed and happy when we get home.

Javier did an amazing job looking after our blind senior Westie. Attentive care for Maya, kept us updated, conscientious of her needs, and incredibly considerate. We truly appreciate everything Javier does. He has our highest recommendation.
