“Maxine was fantastic with our baby boy Rambo! We booked last minute stay because we wanted to provide our other baby with one last peaceful weekend before we said goodbye as she crossed over the rainbow bridge. Maxine knew this and was so compassionate in her communication with us and kept our spirits high by sending the most hilarious pictures of Rambo in tons of different costumes and scenarios. We’re so grateful that we found her and had her as our sitter, she made a very difficult time in our lives much easier by taking such great care of Rambo, which allowed us to give our sweet baby girl the best weekend send off.”
