Highlights
Pet care experience
Big Yard|Home All Day|Behavior Pro
I've never not had a dog. I grew up in a home where dogs were bred and raised, and I've owned dogs my entire life. Right now I have five of my own two German Shepherds, a Mini Poodle, a Yorkie, and a Lab all social, all part of a daily routine that already runs like clockwork. Beyond personal experience, I've spent 6 years doing ABA therapy working directly with extreme behavioral cases. I own a behavioral health company. That background means I don't just love dogs I understand behavior, I recognize triggers before they escalate, and I know how to manage a structured environment where multiple animals with different temperaments coexist safely. That's not something most sitters can say. I'm home all day, every day. This isn't a side job I fit around a schedule. My goal is to make this my full time work, which means your dog gets the same attention mine do all day, not just morning and evening.

Ratings and reviews
Xavier is friendly and communicative. My dogs enjoyed spending time with him and his doggies. Will definitely use him again!
Thanks for taking such good care of Loafy!
Xavier.....Kiwi and Bamdit had a great time. I know itsba good day when we get home because once harness and collars are off they flop on the floor and just veg out.
Xavier is amazing! I have a slightly complicated rescue who loved Xavier and his pups. I was gone for 9 days and didn't have a single concern the whole trip. Xavier was very accommodating in setting up a meet and greet, and a trial daycare day on very short notice. He is wonderful and I am so grateful to have found him. I am using him exclusively from now on. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants exceptional care for their fur babies!
Xavier is so great! He is so helpful and accommodating if plans change and our pup Maverick always has an amazing time.
Athena had an amazing time! We were updated regularly with photos and messages regarding how she was doing. Communication was outstanding and you can truly see how deeply Xavier care for not only their own dogs but the dogs they watch as well!

Schedule
I'm home full time. Pet care isn't something I fit into my schedule, it is my schedule. Your dog has my attention throughout the entire day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is set up specifically for dog care with three distinct spaces, a dedicated dog room, an outdoor kennel run with shade, and a large fenced yard for exercise and play. Dogs are never mixed unsupervised. I manage introductions carefully and separate when needed based on temperament, not just size. The pool area is accessible but all dogs outside my own are directly supervised near it at all times. I take that seriously. I accept dogs of any size. Breed is never a disqualifier, temperament is the only thing that matters to me. I do not accept puppies under one year or dogs with a history of unprovoked aggression toward people.

A typical day
My day already revolves around five dogs so yours joins an existing routine rather than creating a new one. Mornings start with potty breaks and feeding based on your dog's schedule. Mid morning is yard time and activity. Afternoons include rest periods and calm time. Evening is another yard rotation, feeding, and wind down. Dogs are fed individually to prevent resource guarding. Fresh water is always available. I monitor behavior throughout the day and step in early before issues develop, not after. Your dog sleeps in a kennel or the dog room depending on their comfort level. Both are clean, climate controlled, and set up for rest.
