Pet care experience

More than care, happy pets!

What sets me apart is 25 years of hands-on experience caring for all types of dogs. I provide loving, patient, and reliable care for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs. I also have experience caring for dogs with special needs and understand the extra attention, patience, and gentle handling they require. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with focus on safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. In addition to pet sitting I have succesfully rescued and find forever homes for over 100 pets while volunteering for animal shelters throughout my adult life. Pet sitting is more than a job to me, its my true passion and what I love to do, as I always say I love animals more than people lol. Your baby will be at their home with me.

Ximena took really good care of my puppy Flo and provided pictures and videos throughout the stay. I will definitely be using her again

Ximena took great care of my pup over the fourth of July weekend! She was very friendly, communicated well and was flexible. I will definitely have her pet sit my pup again.

Ximena has been one of my favorite sitters on Rover, I will definitely reach out to her the next time I need a sitter! It’s apparent she genuinely enjoys treating your pet as family — from the ball pitt, the splash pad, the toys, to them all cuddling in a bed together. I was happy to know that my Bentley had a few other dogs to keep him company and the others were just as sweet / played well together. She sent plenty of videos that my boyfriend and I would get excited to watch each time and even gave us a cute little card from Bentley that felt like him writing us a letter from summer camp lol. Bentley was returned to us his normal happy and relaxed self. There is also an Instagram account that you can see the dogs have a clean and spacious environment to either play or take a rest whenever they are tired out! @doggyhousewestpalmbeach

I’ve known Ximena for the last 11 years and she is the most animal lover person in the planet, truly caring for them! Ximena goes above and beyond with each of her furry pets, adapting to their needs. The fact that she owns her doggy daycare in another country makes her over experienced when handling different breeds and sizes!

I’ve had the chance to see firsthand how much care and dedication she brings to animals of all kinds. She has a natural connection with them—whether it’s energetic puppies, larger dogs with strong personalities, or animals with special needs that require extra patience and understanding. What really stands out is how attentive she is to each animal’s unique behavior and comfort level. She’s also incredibly experienced with cats, showing the same level of compassion and intuition Anyone looking for someone reliable, experienced, and truly passionate about animal care would be lucky to have her.

I can confidently say that Ximena is one of the most genuine animal lovers I have ever met. She has spent over a decade rescuing dogs and cats out of pure passion and dedication, and her level of care and commitment to animals is truly exceptional. She has personally taken care of my dog, Luca, and I honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better. When your pet stays with Ximena, they are not just being watched — they are treated like family. She creates a loving, safe, and happy environment where pets feel completely at home. Ximena is also incredibly flexible, responsible, and friendly, which makes working with her so easy and reassuring. In her previous city, she ran a doggy daycare, and when she moved away, many of her clients were heartbroken because they didn’t know who they could trust with their dogs anymore. That says everything about the level of love and care she provides. Dogs were always excited to arrive at her house — some would start jumping with happiness even from blocks away because they knew they were going somewhere special. If you are looking for someone who will truly love and care for your pet as if they were her own, Ximena is the perfect person. I recommend her with complete confidence. Your dog or cat will be happy, safe, and very loved with her. 🐕💛🐈
