Lot of space and dog-friendly area!
Pet care experience
I cannot have my own dog due to my schedule but I greatly enjoy the company of dogs and what I learn from them. Rover allows me to have a dog over my place for relatively short stays that fit my schedule – so is the best of the two worlds. I have taken care of friends’ dogs - while they were travelling or unable to do so - for 13 years. I took care of them in good and less good times and at different ages, from puppy to very old. I enjoyed those experiences a lot and learned so much about dogs, humans, and myself so that I thought I would bring it to the next level and have 4-legged guests over to my place. My area vs dog needs: I live within a 1-mile radius of 4 large parks (Hudson River Greenway, River Bank Park, St. Nicholas Park, Highbridge Park) and 5 dog runs as well as 5 miles of pedestrian-only large paths surrounded by trees on both sides and physically secluded from car traffic. Moreover, the area is residential so the even the sidewalks are very dog friendly: never crowded, large, and low car traffic around them. My apt vs dog needs: I live alone in a large 1 bedroom apt in a small, quiet, and dog-friendly building (6 apartments). The apt has plenty of light, is very quiet (it faces the backyard), and is always very clean. I have zero clutter and lot of space for a special guest (and there would be only one at a time) so she/he can choose the area that fits her/him best. She/he will have toys to play, bed and/or couch to sleep, and whatever is needed for a comfortable stay. Myself vs dog needs: during the dog’s stay, I usually walk her/him every 2 hours and take a long walk (30+ minutes) at least once a day. I am quite playful myself, so usually play quite a bit with dogs. That said, I will adapt to dog's needs as per owner’s suggestions.

So grateful to find Max! He came to meet me and my dog beforehand since this was the first time, and he sent lots of pics, which I had to show to everyone lol...thanks again!!
Massimiliano was EXTREMELY accommodating. My original sitter cancelled the night before my trip and Massimiliano responded almost immediately to my request. Stella gravitated towards him as soon as she saw him and he made Stella feel right at home at his place. During that time, he stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving her with a new sitter. Above all, Massimiliano is trustworthy, and our dog loves him. We would be happy to provide personal references upon request. His log, updates and pictures of Stella were very helpful. Stella had a great time! I would highly recommend Massimiliano.
Over the years Massimiliano has cared two beloved terriers on numerous occasions while I was away. Although he is humble and low key, be forewarned that Massimiliano is so caring and so focussed that you might sometimes feel as if you are an inadequate pet owner :) Massimiliano is trustworthy, smart, dependable and funny. And the dogs love him!
I have known Maximiliano for many years, although not as a pet owner, but as a coworker and friend. Maximiliano has always shown great concern and care for his work, going above and beyond to do the right thing. He is very professional and has excellent communication skills. As a friend Maximiliano is very caring, reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy; always there to provide comfort in time of need. I have personally witness Maximiliano taking care of friends’ dogs, and I do believe that all of his great qualities translate to how he cares and sees after them. If I were ever to buy a dog and needed a pet sitter, Maximiliano is the first person I would call.
