I'm currently not working outside the home, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to focus on pet care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup company, I’m able to give them the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet care is a priority in my routine, and I love making it part of my everyday life.

Information Javier S. would like to know about your pet

I want to make sure your pup feels completely at home during their stay, so please don’t hesitate to share anything I should know—whether it’s special needs, unique behaviors, or daily routines they’re used to. The more details you can provide, the better I can tailor their care to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Every dog is different, and I’m here to give yours the personalized attention they deserve!

A typical day

You can expect your pup to have a fun-filled day starting with some outdoor playtime in the yard with me and a few other friendly pups. We’ll then head out for a pack walk, exploring my favorite local trails, it's a great way for them to get fresh air, exercise, and socialization. Throughout the day, your dog will enjoy a mix of play, rest, and companionship, all while feeling safe, happy, and at home. I make sure each pet gets the attention and activity they need to feel comfortable and loved.

Javier is the dog whisperer. My nervous rescue warmed up to him immediately and came home happy and exhausted both days of daycare. She’ll be a regular and I couldn’t recommend him more!

Javier took great care of my 11 months old puppy. He is super nice, detailed oriented, responsible and sent regular updates through the stay. My dog was very happy and well exercised when I picked him up. Javier’s sweet lab also got along great with mine so it was bonus for the dogs to play together. He has a lot of experience. I would definitely recommend him as a sitter.
