Friendly Dogs

I've been a dog owner my entire life, with experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. Currently, I have two dog-friendly companions: Panda, an 11-year-old Australian Shepherd, and Cheesy, a 6-year-old terrier mix. My house is located in Eastle and several other green spaces. Working from home with a flexible schedule allows me to take the dogs out often. I take the dogs out 4-5 times daily, including at least one hour-long walk in the morning and evening. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and can administer medications as needed. My experience includes caring for senior dogs. I offer both overnight stays and daycare, focusing on one dog at a time to ensure personalized attention.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 02, 2026

Rover daycare went well with Javier. My pup walked with him to his place and back to me calm when I came to pick him up. This is a pup that has shown me “stranger caution” for the last few weeks. Photos and updates he gave were good frequency. Javier shown great understanding and confidence in dog care. Will definitely reach out again for any future dog watch needs.

Javier's been my go-to pet person for years, and let me tell you, he's amazing with animals! He's watched my hyper Lab and old cat tons of times, and they both adore him. Javier's super responsible, always on time, and has this chill vibe that makes pets (and their humans) feel totally at ease. He's got a real knack for following care instructions and goes the extra mile to keep furry friends happy.

Javier is great with my dogs. He is careful and attentive when it comes to my senior dog with a lot of needs. I feel safe to travel now that I have him as my dog guardian!

Schedule

As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, I'm able to dedicate ample time and attention to my furry guests throughout the day. My typical routine includes: 4-5 outdoor excursions daily, ensuring regular bathroom breaks and exercise At least one hour-long walk, allowing for thorough exploration and physical activity A dedicated trip to the off-leash area, providing socialization and play time Flexible work hours that allow me to adjust my schedule to meet each dog's specific needs One-on-one care, as I only host one guest dog at a time in addition to my own two dogs. Dogs have access to my small yard whenever I am home!

Safety, trust & environment

I primarily offer in-home pet care services at my house in Eastlake. Here's how I care for pets in my home: Comfortable Living Space: My apartment provides a cozy environment for dogs, with easy access to nearby green spaces like Kinnear Park. Personalized Attention: I only host one guest dog at a time, ensuring they receive dedicated care alongside my two friendly dogs, Panda and Cheesy. Regular Exercise: I maintain an active schedule with 4-5 outdoor excursions daily, including: At least one hour-long walk Multiple shorter walks for bathroom breaks and fresh air

Pets

A typical day

I will take the dogs in several short walks, as well as two long walks per day. I am a big fan of sniff walks, letting the dogs set the pace, and lead around parks to wherever their nose takes them!
