Safe, Dependable and Experienced

Pet care experience

Being put on the spot, Id have to say I grew up with animals. My family had a few litter of puppies my brother and I helped raised that with my five years of professional dog walker experience and knowledge of the dog walking community should help us all work together.

Fritz is a happy cat after Xander took care of him this week.

Harvey's time with Xander was really meaningful. I could completely relax into knowing that Harvey was going to be cared for: Harvey has separation anxiety and it takes him awhile to begin to trust and eat while his daddy is gone. Xander brings a gentle atmosphere, firm boundaries and a background in nursing not to mention his artistic sensibility. Your special friend is in for a treat.

Xander is a friend of mine. He's great with animals. I've seen Xander with my dog and with other dogs and they love him. He's very attentive to the dog's needs. I trust and recommend him 100%.

Safety, trust & environment

Primarily looking for scheduled weekly walks to mindfully explore the surrounding sidewalks. A rule of mine, to avoid other dogs during our time, is substituted with treat redirections, positive reinforcements and enjoying each other's company.

Information Xander F. would like to know about your pet

Your preferred Emergency Veterinary and special medical/dietary needs Favorite activities and toys, Its very important to know of any walking hurdles currently being improved upon.

A typical day

I typically arrive a little out of breath from my bike ride, Greeting the dog while I dry off and keep the entranceway tidy. With approved treats in my pocket, I gently lead your pup into their harness and together we stroll around. Our route may be different from the one you take, due to avoiding other dogs, but we can talk about it.
