Xavier was a great dog and house sitter. He kept us updated every day with lovely photos and videos and took our dog Bouncer out in the car to some new and exciting places. Bouncer was not that easy to look after as he was initially quite anxious at being apart from us, but Xavier was incredibly patient and caring, and kept us fully up to date with how things were going. Xavier's patience paid off because by the time we came home they had clearly formed a strong bond, so much so that when Xavier was leaving Bouncer got in the car to go with him! Xavier left the house spick and span, and even did the laundry before he left. I would definitely recommend Xavier to look after your pet while you are away as he is very reliable and clearly adores animals.
