An autistic guy who loves animals
Pet care experience
Growing up, I was a part of a program called Human Animal Bonding in Colorado, where I was taught how to connect top dogs emotionally, socially and verbally and use those skills to apply to real life situations, breaking me out of my social, insecure, neurodivergent shell. I've grown up with six big terriers, so I know my way around big, cuddly, dogs. My best friend is a German Shepherd named Ziva.
About Xander F.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have all kinds of necessary dog accommodations. I have crates if needed, toys, extra food, leashes, etc. In my home, I have two big dogs who are trained to stay on 30 acres of property, they co-exist with barn cats and other various animals. Because of the other critters on the land, I do have to let them outside every time I leave the house. I had a dog that received special medical treatment every day and had to be watched regularly as he grew mean and tiredsome due to his deteriorating health. Fortunately, he is in a better place, but it shows that I can manage and care for dogs all of different behaviors and necessities and if I can use some of that stuff for other dogs, I've love to.
Information Xander F. would like to know about your pet
I'm a pretty easy-going guy. I'm very used to big dogs, and I have no problem with small ones at all. I'd just need to know what size dog I'm dealing with so I can be better prepared how to handle them if I were to bring my own stuff to play with them.
A typical day
Hiking, walking, running, fetching, dog parks, outdoor activities, car rides. Depending on the pet parents' preferences, I'd be doing things that'll leave any other dog jealous of how fun of a day it was, so the pet parent can come home to a chilled out dog after a long day.
Services
Xander can watch in your home
Availability
I currently work part-time shifts that can go from 8-2, or 11-3, or 11-2. I am trying to start some extra hours, but outside of work, I wish to pursue my dog-loving passions and possibly turn it into a career, and I hope starting Rover will do that. I take care of big dogs, numerous cats, and six other types of animals at home, so I can't have other animals at home due to the unfamiliarity. I am looking for extra activities, ones that consists outside of work and home because that's all where I am ever at these days. I just moved to Missouri, and I hope to find show the love I have for animals to places beyond my home.
