We have been providing at home pet boarding services together since 2018.

However as of 5 1/2 years ago-

I (Angelina) have also been working with fur babies in a more professional setting ( I.e dog daycare and a boarding/training/rescue kennel, animal rescues, etc). I have also had my grooming certification for a variety of animals since 2023- & am working towards getting my license. I have had my dog training certification since earlier this year. However, I have been training dogs for many years before that!

Xavior aside from taking care of his own pets growing up has also worked along side with me with birds, rodents (both of various species) as well as fish, cats, dogs, chickens,ducks,geese,goats, etc.

We also used to foster dog’s from a previous rescue I worked for. So, not only are we both very used to working with rescue babies. But, our pup Asuna also grew up having tons of different friends!
We do travel with Asuna everywhere we go, since she is a certified and trained service dog. She is a medium sized dog, however she has grown up in a home being very well socialized her whole life. She’s been with tiny kittens, puppies, ferrets, and all kinds of other babies! She’s the sweetest girl you could ever meet


We always take lots of pictures of your babies for you while you are away. *Please let us know if you would not like us to post them on our public shared photo feed.*
We will always be monitoring your pet to make sure they do not get into anything, We will follow their regular daily routine, and most of all they will get lots of love!

We hope after reading through this you choose us to watch your pet and we look forward to meeting you and your babies! 🐾🐠🐥


Disclaimers:
*for all sits we do require a non refundable $200 deposit at the time of booking. (For free and paid sits) This deposit solidifies your booking, blocks out those dates as “available” on our calendar, goes towards our travel expenses, etc.

*all photos shown are our own*

*Please feel free to ask about extras like a bath/nail trim while you are gone as well as if you’d like some basic training done with your pet during our stay.*

Pet care

We have been providing at home pet boarding since 2018. Which was initially outside of HSA. Aside from that, we used to foster dogs back when we lived in Virginia. Outside of at home pet boarding, I (Angelina) do have 5+ years of pet sitting at doggy daycares, boarding facilities, rescued, etc.

agricultureFarm experience

I (Angelina) did equine therapy from 2015-2017. During that time, I gained tons of experience caring for horses, as well as other typical farm duties. Xavior & I have also cared for multiple farms since then. Majority of which we found from House Sitters America!

Boy, did we luck out when we found Angelina and Xavior! They were the ideal house- and dog-sitters, surpassing our expectations in so many ways. First, although our dog needs daily meds and other special care, they were able to take on all of it, so that we felt confident we were leaving our little pug and our house in good hands. Second, they brought along their own wonderful dog Asu, who played great with our dog and adopted her schedule. Third, Angelina and Xavior were incredibly ...

Second, they brought along their own wonderful dog Asu, who played great with our dog and adopted her schedule. Third, Angelina and Xavior were incredibly communicative while we were gone, sending photos of our dog twice a day for over two months and updating us often in other ways as well. Fourth, we returned to a happy, healthy dog and a clean and secure house. If we ever have another extended trip, we will be calling Angelina and Xavior again!

We booked Angelina and Xavior for a house sit from San Diego to Utah. But Angelina had a major car breakdown on the drive over. She was honest & immediately refunded our deposit. However, the emergency logistics were handled poorly & shifted the burden to us while on vacation. She asked us to cover just the first day (Monday).

However, the emergency logistics were handled poorly & shifted the burden to us while on vacation. She asked us to cover just the first day (Monday). We arranged temporary care, expecting them to update us on a plan for the rest of the week. Instead, communication stalled. By Tues morning, we had received no real updates. Because they only asked for Mon coverage & made no arrangements for Tues, we had to scramble from afar for a permanent backup. Had we not taken the initiative, our pets would have been left entirely without care. They were polite, but the lack of a clear plan wasn't sustainable for us.

MoreWe do apologize again for the situation & hopefully everyone else knows this is not our regular response. I was 100% willing to uber after getting to salt lake, but they did already find coverage for the rest of the time. This was an extremely stressful situation especially me & our pup being in a state we had never been before. Also, the lack of communication had to do with the car shop not getting back to me in a timely manner. Nonetheless, that is no excuse & we are sorry & hope to make it up in the future.

Angelina and Xavior did a great job sitting for us. The daily updates and pictures were wonderful. The communication was perfect. We returned to a happy home: All the animals were happy and healthy, and the house was in great shape. We hope to have them back in the future.
Angelina was a great sitter to Noki and our home! She sent daily updates on their walks and playtime together, and was super responsive and communicative. I always felt like our home and our pup were in good hands with her and never felt worried during our travels! :)
Xavier was a fantastic house and animal sitter. He went above and beyond expected service and we would be thrilled if he was available for all our travels.
House was well taken care off and clean upon my return. Dogs and cats looked good and were happy. Communication was ok. I can recommend Xavior and would not hesitate to invite him again in the future. Angelina did not come as there were unexpected transportation issues.
Xavior is a gem. Kind, prompt, reliable and detailed. Cleaned up everything. Left the home nice. I had used the service before and didn't pay a fee but he was worth paying for. When my Chaya is taken care of it makes my trips away much easier. Grateful for Xavior! Chaya was happy!
we listed this as a free house sit since lake Tahoe is always such a desirable area for travelers but still paid them their requested $200 fee since they had such good reviews. they took great care of our cat while sending plenty of updates to us throughout the sit. however, they consumed all of our alcohol and most of our food during the stay without asking us. was an unpleasant surprise to come home to many hundreds of dollars in missing goods. we live walking distance to the grocery store so ...

Angelina and Xavior were great pet sitters. Nice couple, reliable, we came home to a very clean house, and — most importantly of course — our dog Lucy liked both of them. :-) At my request, they held off for a day on bringing their dog Asu over, since Lucy is used to being a solo dog and can be set in her ways (aka reactive to new people and sometimes a butthead to other dogs). Angelina then properly gradually introduced the two pups and they got along great —she sent videos of the dogs playing ... MoreAngelina and Xavior were great pet sitters.

Angelina then properly gradually introduced the two pups and they got along great —she sent videos of the dogs playing together in the yard and hanging out inside together with them, and I got to meet sweet Asu briefly when we returned home. I know Lucy missed her doggie and human buddies after they left!

A very nice couple with a sweet dog that got along great with Woody. The dogs got their twice daily walks in and Angelina was great at sending photos and descriptions of their day on a daily basis. We would recommend them.
Angelina did a wonderful job with my three pups; they fell in love with her! The house and outdoor space were just as I left them. I really appreciated the daily emails and pictures; that made me feel confident that all was well.
Angel and Xavier were great with Mia. Kept her occupied, combed her out well and communicated daily her activities with photos.
Angelina and Xavior were excellent. We were kept informed of how the animals were doing, the house was clean and tidy when we returned, and all the animals were much better socially because their dog, Asu, was able to play with Wednesday and gave the felines a break from trying to be played with constantly. Angelina is a certified dog trainer and, as a result, we had a better behaved and trained Wednesday when we returned. As a bonus Xavior is an excellent chef. He prepared a wonderful dinner ...

Amazing sitters! Took incredible care of our pup and place. My dog is reactive and their pup Asu (one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met) helped socialize him. It's very clear they are not only experienced sitters, but truly understand dogs. Communication was A++ - we got several pictures a day of our pup as well as detailed updates on how he was doing. On top of all that, they tidied up the place and made sure we walked into a very clean home after our trip. Will 100% be booking them again!
Angelina and Xavier may be the BEST Sitters I have ever had! House was meticulously cleaned, dogs were always walked, my crazy cat Pedro 🐈 loved them too. Communication was fantastic. I miss my fur babies, and they sent updates and photos daily. I highly recommend Angelina and Xavier for your sit. You are welcome to call for a reference.
