Information Xavier M. would like to know about your pet

My favorite kinds of clients: - Low/moderate energy dogs (>3 years old) - dogs that don’t bark/howl too much - house-trained - Favorite breed: Bassett Hound (love all dogs, just happen to love their floppy ears) Please let me know about any medical/dietary needs before booking

A typical day

In addition to my large yard, I live very close to Astoria Park where I run. I’m sure your dog would love to go for a light jog! In the evenings, your dog can expect shared dinners and belly-rub filled movie nights.

Astoria, NY

Xavier M.'s Neighborhood

25 yrs of love+experience w/ dogs!

Pet care experience

Beyond being a dog sitter of 7 years, I’ve loved and cared for family dogs all my life, ranging from Pugs to Golden Doodles and everything in between! With access to a larged fenced in yard, your dog will have ample room to run, sniff, and get some air in between walks.

Xavier was a great sitter! He was very communicative and it was clear by the photos and videos he shared that Roo was very comfortable in his care. We will definitely be booking with Xavier again!

Penny had a great stay at Xavier's! He was very responsive and flexible, and I could tell that my dog was very much at home and comfortable with him. She'll definitely be back.

Xavier took great care for my 12 year old pup. His communication was fast and was super accommodating for my drop off and pick up times. Also sent me a great video during my absence which brought more comfort. The biggest plus for me was his location, just a few blocks away! Happy to have him as my go to sitter!
