Our toy goldendoodle Sky, almost 2 years old, had a great time with Xander during a 2+ week stay. Sky came back looking healthy and happy and it was clear that he was going to miss Xander. Sky is easy-going and very friendly, but he is a picky eater who often doesn’t eat or finishes his meals, during the stay Xander managed to convince him to eat well which was very reassuring. We hope that Sky can come back for another stay in the future!!

Xander was very communicative during the entire process, going out of his way for meet and greets, key exchange, etc, and took great care of our dog. Would highly recommend.

Xander was great with Kirby! Very easy to communicate with and was very flexible with us as our flight was delayed.

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!

Schedule

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 :)

Safety, trust & environment

I am responsible and attentitive. I have pet food, beds, and toys at home. I am clean and tidy upon visiting. I can walk your dogs many times a day. You may also let me know your pets' special needs.

A typical day

I love playing a bunch of games with dogs both at home and in a big park. This gets them going physically and mentally. They'll also explore new smells and places during our walk.
