WFH Pet Mom Offering Love and Walks
Caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I adopted my first pet when I was five years old and grew up alongside my golden retriever-chow chow mix, who taught me that pets are family. For over a decade, I’ve been a devoted cat mom to two wonderful orange tabbies—Lasagna and Meatball—and recently expanded my family with Coco, my sweet beagle-dachshund mix who’s training to be a service animal. I don’t just “watch” pets—I connect with them. I understand that every animal has their own rhythm, personality, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s a senior cat who needs quiet companionship, a high-energy pup who loves long walks, or a shy dog who needs patience and trust-building, I meet each pet exactly where they are. What sets me apart: • Genuine lifelong experience with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. • Work-from-home flexibility — I can stay overnight at your home, do drop-in visits, or host at my pet-friendly apartment with 24/7 care. • Constant presence and engagement — regular walks, playtime, enrichment, and cuddles are part of my everyday life. • Safe and structured environment — I require vaccinations, complete pet profiles, and house training to keep everyone safe and happy. • Compassionate, personalized care — I treat every pet like my own, giving them stability, comfort, and plenty of love. When you leave your pet with me, you’re not just getting a sitter—you’re gaining a trusted caretaker who truly understands how much your pet means to you. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is always my top priority, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours. In my home, pets are treated like family. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment where dogs are allowed on furniture, have plenty of space to relax, and receive constant supervision. I only board house-trained, vaccinated pets to ensure a healthy, safe atmosphere for everyone. Daily routines include structured walks, scheduled meals, and lots of playtime and affection. When I’m providing drop-in visits, dog walks, or staying overnight at a client’s home, I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and provide comfort. I make sure doors, gates, and surroundings are always secure, and I take the time to learn any special instructions, whether it’s medication needs, feeding details, or favorite hiding spots. I treat every pet and every home with the same level of care and respect I would want for my own family. You can trust that your pet’s well-being, happiness, and safety will always come first with me.
Ratings and reviews
Ximena is great! She's cat sat for us and does regular walks with our newest rescue dog. He's a bit of a challenge and she handles him wonderfully! Highly recommend.
I almost don't want to leave a review because then she'll become too busy and less available!!... but have to give credit where it's due... Ximena's the real deal. A loving and reliable kitty sitter! Can't recommend enough.
Ximena is such a wonderful caretaker! My babies have had behavioral issues we have been working on and Ximena is so patient and receptive to their needs. They trust and love her so much, and so do I. She is communicative, caring, and always does such a great job!
Ximena was great and communicative!
This is the 4th time Ximena has cared for our kitties and every time has been a wonderful experience. She’s communicative and sends the cutest pictures while we’re away. Our kitties seem very comfortable with her and it gives us peace of mind. Highly recommend!
Ximena was great and communicative! She sent us pictures and videos which we appreciated. Thanks again!

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I work from home full-time, my schedule is built around caring for animals. Every morning starts with a long walk, and throughout the day, I take regular breaks for playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and cuddles. In the evenings, we enjoy another refreshing walk to wind down the day. Because I have flexibility, I can easily offer drop-in visits, overnight stays at your home, or boarding at my own pet-friendly apartment. When I’m caring for pets away from home, my spouse looks after our pets, so I can give your furry family members my full attention. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, providing attentive, loving care fits seamlessly into my lifestyle.
