Pet care experience
I have taken care of dogs since I was 12, with my second family dog. I have had two cats of my own for the past four years. I have worked as a dog walker and dog/cat sitter for the last 5 years and have also spent time working with cats, dogs, and rabbits in an animal shelter setting.
Reviews
This is my second time taking Max’s help with my cat while we were away on a long international trip. Max is wonderful, thorough, and very polite. He is very responsive and took care of my cat really well.
We really appreciated Max's walks with our dog Tinker Bell. She was really looking forward to seeing Max and happy to get some good exercise in! Max, thanks again for taking care of her and for the regular updates with the pictures.
Max was great! Took excellent care of my boy and sent lots of photos
Max was very thorough during our initial meeting and communicative throughout the week he was watching our cats. He genuinely enjoyed spending time with them and I looked forward to the photos he would send during check ins!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I make sure that owners and I are on the same page. I pay careful attention to the pets’ social and stimulation needs, along with their desires to get good sniffs on walks! For cats, I make sure to pay close attention to their shyness and comfort levels, along with getting as much snuggle, pets, and play that their hearts desire!
Information Max B. would like to know about your pet
I like to know dogs' energy level, leash etiquette, and how much walking they want. I'd also want to learn their favorite games and pet/scratch spots. I need to know about any points of sensitivity (e.g. food guarding, no-touch spots, aggression towards other dogs, cats or squirrels, etc.). For cats, I need to know their favorite hiding spots, preferred social needs, and any potential aggression.
A typical day
I love practicing tricks with pups, so if there's any that you're working on, let me know! I also love playing fetch and tug-of-war. On walks, I try to get as much park and green time in as possible!
