Availability
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.

About Xavier G.

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.

Information Xavier G. would like to know about your pet
Before your dog arrives please share their temperament, energy level, feeding schedule, and anything I should know about their behavior, reactivity, anxiety, resource guarding, medical needs, anything. The more I know upfront the better I can prepare. Clear communication before the stay makes everything easier for your dog. I will always be honest with you about how they're doing.
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.

Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Xavier was great with our dogs! We were a little nervous going into it because they haven’t done any kind of daycare, let alone overnight, but he made us feel very comfortable with the whole process. Looking forward to using him next time we’re in the Phoenix greater area!
Very communicative, confident and available. Works from home so you know your doggy will be in great company. Our puppy was super happy in all the pictures he shared with us over the course of the trip, even when we picked her up we could tell how she had bonded with him over the stay! Would rate more stars if I could!
Xavier was wonderful with Jasper! Our pupper warmed up very quickly with his dogs and we were sent plenty of photos and videos for updates. Felt very comfortable having Jasper there and would love to bring him back!
I had a great experience! He was incredibly patient with my dog and kept me updated with great communication throughout the entire stay, which really put my mind at ease. He was also very kind about doing a meet and greet beforehand since I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone new. I’m so glad I found someone my dog feels comfortable with, and I feel confident leaving my dog in his care. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!
