Pet care experience

I go above and beyond to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while they’re with me. I follow your dog’s home routine closely so they feel grounded and relaxed, and I always aim for them to return to you happy, calm, and in great spirits. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and spending time with animals is one of my greatest joys. I also live just a block from the Iron Horse Trail, so your pup will enjoy safe trail walks, fresh air, and lots playtime throughout the day.

We’ve had a great experience with Xenia. She takes excellent care of Joey and I always feel confident he’s safe, happy, and well looked after. She communicates clearly, is friendly and professional, and it’s obvious she genuinely loves dogs. I highly recommend Xenia to anyone looking for a sitter they can trust.

Xenia has been great! She's warm and communicative and provides us with peace of mind that our furbabies are well taken care of when we're out of town. We've been having Xenia help out with our two (large) orange tabbies for half a year now. We love that she gives us an update after each visit, including a few videos and photos of our furbabies. Thank you for all your help, Xenia!! From, Renee, Mike, Donkey, & Bear

I met Xenia on a recommendation from a friend, and I'm glad I listened. Our two dogs are incredibly sweet, trained, but are so out of their minds restless we've gone through sitters and walkers. We came back and both dogs were excited to see us, but were played with so much they offered a few licks to our daughter who had assumed her "bear attack" position when they saw her. Reasonable rate and well taken care of dogs. total peace of mind and highly recommended.

Xenia is terrific! My animals love her energy and can't wait to see her. She is very detailed and thorough, and takes the time to sit down with you to learn more about your pet (likes, dislikes, feeding schedule, medical issues, do's and don'ts). She does it all - walks, feeding, administers meds, keeping company - and is very flexible. I highly recommend her.
