Pet care experience
I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, including senior dogs and anxious pups. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I treat every pet like family, and I pay close attention to their unique needs. I also have experience walking reactive dogs and understand the importance of consistency, routine, and gentle handling.
Reviews
Ximena is a wonderful dog walker for my pup Pippa. I need someone to come several times a week and Ximena is always very punctual and gets along really well with Pippa. I’m so glad to have someone local and reliable and flexible to help care for my dog when work or social commitments keep me away from home. Thank you Ximena!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I specialize in dog walking, so my focus is on making each walk safe, fun, and enriching. I always follow the owner’s instructions, use secure leashing, and pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and energy level. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer adventure, I make sure your pup gets exercise, attention, and lots of love along the way.
Information Ximena M. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a dog, I always like to know their daily routine, energy level, and any special needs—like medications, fears (like loud noises or other dogs), or quirks. I also ask about leash behavior, if they’re okay around other animals or people, and what commands they know. Knowing their favorite toys, treats, and any off-limits areas helps me give them the best, most personalized care!
A typical day
When watching dogs, I make sure they’re mentally and physically engaged with plenty of fun and love. I’ll take them on walks, play fetch, give them cuddle time, and follow their routines to keep them happy and comfortable. I love giving belly rubs, using toys for stimulation, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.

Availability
I am a student at CSULB and pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I’m fully available this summer and have a flexible schedule during the school semester too. I also love staying active! Long walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures with dogs align perfectly with my fitness goals. It’s a win-win, I get to help pets stay happy and healthy while doing something that keeps me moving and energized every day!
