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 was absolutely wonderful! ❤️ She took such great care of our girls and treated them like they were her own. She kept us updated with the cutest pictures and thoughtful notes, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. 🥰🐾 She made sure they were fed, got some exercise, cleaned up after them, and even left relaxing music on so they were comfortable. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We’re definitely saving her number and will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend Ximena! ❤️🐶🐾

We had a wonderful experience with the dog sitting service! My fur babies were well cared for, loved, and given plenty of attention. I received updates and felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs were in good hands. I truly appreciate the care and kindness shown. I would definitely recommend this service and will absolutely use them again! 🐶 💜

No one I would rather have watch my animals! Ximena was very attentive and truly cared after my two kitties. She made sure to take a ton of photos everyday and keep me up to date every second of the way! I will definitely be booking with her again when I need someone to watch my animals!

I have a senior dog and was nervous about getting a dog sitter, but I felt confident in leaving him in her care. Ximena is so sweet and treated our dogs like her own.

Schedule

Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to make sure they get consistent attention, feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I keep a flexible routine so each pet gets personalized care based on their needs and energy level.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide high-quality, attentive pet care in my home, creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where each dog can feel at ease. I maintain their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest schedules. Dogs receive constant supervision, affection, and personalized attention throughout the day. With 25 years of experience, I am especially skilled in caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, always adapting to each dog’s personality and level of care required.
