Big or small, I love them all.

Pet care experience

Since about 7yo i would bring strays home but was never able to keep them because we lived in a small apartment of my parents and no pets were allowed but they could never say no to a stray dog or cat so i ended up taking care of them until i found a home for them or they were reunited with their owners. That was the best part.

So thankful for Max's attention and care for our dogs while we were away. He was very responsive and updated with videos and photos for the whole 9 days we were gone. One of our dogs favorite treats is watermelon and with the rush of trying to pack and get to the airport on time I forgot to get one in time to cut it up. Max not only remembered that we mentioned his favorite treat is watermelon but went above and beyond and got him the watermelon himself. Our other dog is scared of loud noises and rain, so he played music for him and stayed nearby for comfort. We are new to CT so it is a stress relief to know that there is someone that can love on our dogs the way we do when we visit Texas again. Thank you Max!

Look no further! Maksym is hands down the best dog sitter we have ever had! So attentive, engaging with our dog and such a caring person. We actually felt bad taking our dog home knowing we don’t have the time to be as attentive to her as much as Maksym was! His dog was so playful with our dog, she had a blast! He sent us daily pics and videos so we could see how our dog was enjoying her time. His setup is a dogs dream with huge fenced backyard for them to run and play in with a doggy obstacle course and a room with couches just for dogs to lounge in! As long as he is still dog sitting we will be using him every time! Thank u again for taking such good care of Nissa!

Maksym was right on time to walk our dogs. He is very friendly and asked a lot of questions about our wants and needs for dog walks. Our dogs loved him. Maksym waited until our dogs got used to him and then calmly an cautiously talked and petted them. At the end of the walk, Maksym played with our big LGD. The dogs loved him!

At least half acre fenced off backyard with 6ft chainlink fence all around. Huge sunroom is available for most of the year but forced air and central ac are available for those real hot or cold days even though the basement stays comfortable year around without it. If you would like, i could reinforce or teach your dog door manners, feeding manners and basic obedience. I only use positive reinforcement, leash control and tones of my voice because thats what works for me. Please let me know. Your pets could be fed here or at your place with provided food at any time desired. Tap water will be provided as well as a clean bowl if they stay here. I could also do a basic wash and groom if interested. Please let me know in advance if you are interested. I do not take in aggressive dogs. Within a one mile radius from my house, there is a Compassionate Care Veterinary Hospital and a PetSmart. Also, Connecticut Veterinary Center has 24hr pet emergency room and is located within a 10min drive from my house. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE ME AWARE OF ANY ALLERGIES AND HEALTH PROBLEMS YOUR PET HAS.

Information Maksym S. would like to know about your pet

Anything really you would like to share with me. Any special treatment, any fears, enxiety, allergies. Also, if you would like your dog to stay mostly inside or outside during their stays.

A typical day

Usually twice a day, 1 mile minimum we go on walks in about 60acres of woods with a small brook behind my house if we are not in the yard doing the obstacle course or just goofing around. Maybe an occasional jog, or just hanging out in a cool basement if its too hot outside. I also enjoy engaging dogs in such activities as doggie parkour, nosework, and brain games and they usually love it. Only if thats ok with an owner.

My schedule is pretty much open at the moment since I am taking some time off from my full time job. Besides few day to day chores, some yard and garden work, I do not have many other things to attend to.
