Your Dog’s Second Favorite Place
Looking for a home where your pup will be loved like family? That's exactly what I provide. Your dog won't just be staying with me, they'll become part of our family. ❤️ I intentionally keep my bookings small so every pup receives the one-on-one attention they deserve, with plenty of cuddles, daily walks, playtime, and personalized care. Safety is always my top priority, so I carefully introduce every dog and recommend a meet-and-greet before boarding to make sure both you and your pup feel comfortable. I have several years of hands-on experience providing both boarding and in-home pet care, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and have experience administering medications, following detailed routines, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. I'm also experienced with shy or anxious dogs and always let them adjust at their own pace. Because I work from home, your dog will enjoy frequent potty breaks, close supervision, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Whether your pup loves to play or prefers a quiet nap on the couch, I'll tailor their care to their individual needs. I also send daily photo and video updates so you'll always know how your best friend is doing. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving home away from home where your dog feels like family and you can enjoy complete peace of mind. I can't wait to meet you and your pup!

Ratings and reviews
Ximena was wonderful with Billy. She checked on Billy’s food and water, and sent us many pictures of her playing with him. Made us feel comfortable leaving him for a longer timeframe and would definitely book again!
Ximena did a good job taking care of my dog. She made sure to send daily photos and updates. She was also accommodating with drop off times. I would recommend her if you are in need care for your fur baby.
My dog Melvin had a great time! Ximena provided plenty of pics and updates throughout his time there. He was very comfortable. Would recommend.
Ximena was wonderful! This was our first time to board our dog with a Rover, so I was a bit nervous. She suggested a meet up beforehand with her dog and mine to make sure it was a good fit. And during the stay, she sent lots of photos, and even made Apollo some homemade topper for his kibble when he wasn’t eating. Will be booking with Ximena again!
This was a last minute booking for my little guy. He had a great time, and came back bouncing off the walls! Which he only does when he's happy. Plenty of pics and videos along the way to put me at ease so I could focus on what I had to do for a couple days. Ximena is in a house, with a fenced in yard and another dog so he had a buddy to play with. Would definitely recommend. Will definitely be back again. 5 stars.
Ximena gave me a positive outlook on the booking. This was the first time using a service like this but she made effort to communicate and showed a genuine care for Milo. That put us at ease to know he was in good hands with someone who treated him like her own. Highly recommend her if you want your dog to be loved properly.

Schedule
Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life, so welcoming another dog into my routine feels completely natural. I work from home full-time, which allows me to plan my day around feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I keep a consistent routine because I know it helps dogs settle in quickly and feel safe in a new environment. I'm also experienced with administering medications, as one of my own senior dogs takes daily heart medication. Whether your pup loves to play, go for walks, or simply curl up for a nap, I'll make sure they receive the personalized care, love, and attention they deserve throughout their stay.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I keep things simple and follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. That means feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you share. In my home, I provide a calm, clean space with lots of attention and care. In your home, I make sure your pet stays on their routine and feels safe while you’re away. I also have experience with senior dogs, medications, and pups that need a little extra patience. I intentionally keep my bookings small, so every dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention
Pets
A typical day
A typical day starts with a morning potty break and breakfast, followed by some playtime or a short walk. Throughout the day, I make sure each dog gets attention, check-ins, and time to relax. In the afternoon, we usually have another walk or play session, depending on their energy level. Evenings are more calm dinner, a final potty break, and wind-down time so they can settle in comfortably. I keep things consistent and adjust based on each dog’s routine and needs

- Before booking, I like to know your dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs. This includes feeding schedule, energy level, how they do with other dogs, and if they have any anxiety or triggers. It’s also important to know about medications, allergies, or anything that helps them feel more comfortable. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home.
