I'm an architecture student at Columbia University. I want to dedicate some free time to loving our furry friends. Not only does this make me happy, I get inspiration and creativity, too. Helping an animal lover and a designer is your support to this neighborly community! Warm regards to you, too :)

Xander always takes such amazing care of our dog. We were gone for 2 weeks internationally and he sent us daily updates and continues to form such a lovely bond with all of us!

This was Fig’s second stay with Xander. Drop off to pick up was smooth with pictures and updates along the way. Fig was excited to see Xander when I dropped him off which was a good sign. Looking forward using Xander again soon!

My dog Fig had a good time with Xander. Xander let us have two meet and greets to make sure it was a good fit before we booked. During the stay, Xander sent lots of pics and updates which I appreciated! He was very accommodating. Fig will def stay with Xander again!

Xander was so gentle with our 14-year-old Cookie, consistently communicative with us, and overall incredibly reliable for the month+ we needed dog walking support. Will definitely be booking again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
