Pet care experience

Dependable/Compassionate Pet Care

What sets me apart as a sitter is the intentional care, patience, and attention I bring to every animal I look after. With experience in both animal chiropractic and general pet wellness, I understand body language, energy, and movement in a deeper way than most sitters. Whether it’s helping a senior dog move more comfortably or supporting a high-energy puppy with structured play and training reinforcement, I tailor my approach to each pet’s needs. I’m especially skilled in: • Senior care: gentle handling, medication reminders, and mobility support • Puppy care: crate training reinforcement, potty routines, and calm socialization • Animal behavior: reading stress signals and offering calm, confident support • Chiropractic-informed handling: safe lifting, joint awareness, and wellness insights I treat every pet like family, and my priority is always to create a space where they feel safe, loved, and understood.

Xavier was so awesome and did a wonderful job accommodating our little Hugo! He sent pics and took him to amazing parks. We’re so happy we found him!

Xavier took good care of our little girl while we were away on an international trip. He listened well to our instructions on her feeding schedule and kept us informed. We will definitely use him again.

Schedule

Pet care is naturally woven into my daily and weekly routine, I treat it like caring for family. I prioritize consistent feeding schedules, outdoor time, enrichment activities, and quiet moments of connection. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday play breaks, or evening wind-downs, I structure my day to ensure pets feel safe, seen, and supported. Their well-being is never an afterthought, it’s part of my rhythm.

Safety, trust & environment

I create a calm, safe, and loving environment. Whether in my home or yours, tailored to each pet’s needs and routines. In my home, pets have access to cozy rest areas, safe outdoor space for play and potty breaks, and structured daily routines that include exercise, meals, and affection. I keep the space clean, pet-proof, and stress-free, with lots of enrichment and love. In your home, I maintain your pet’s familiar routines to reduce anxiety. I follow feeding and potty schedules, provide exercise, give medication if needed, and make sure your home stays clean and respected. I also send regular updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s drop-ins, overnights, or full-time care, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and understood in their environment.
