Safety, trust & environment

While caring for your dog, I will treat them with respect. I will not put them in a cage or kennel unless your dog is comfortable with it or if you ask me to. I will walk them and play with them at least once a day while they are in my care for a minimum of 1 hour, but if you wish for their walks and/or playtime to be more frequent I am more than willing to do so. While working at a dog daycare, I cared for small dog breeds such as pugs and large dog breeds such as Great Danes. While there, I often managed 20 dogs all at the same time, so I am no stranger to caring for and cleaning up after large groups of dogs.

Information Max F. would like to know about your pet

I want to make sure your dogs are as happy as possible while under my care. So along with the usual medical, health, and dietary needs of your dogs, let me know your dogs likes and dislikes, their schedules, the types of foods are their favorite, their preferred route to take while out on a walk, how many times your dogs likes to be walked every day, how long you would like me to walk your dog, your dogs favorite game, and their favorite places to be pet. It would also be good for me to meet your dogs while you are present to make sure that they like me.

A typical day

While under my care, I will strive to ensure your dogs are as comfortable as possible. On a typical day I will walk your dog for at least an hour, letting them explore wherever they want to go as long as it is safe. After that I will make sure they get plenary of attention by petting and playing with them as I take care of their other needs. I will do my best to balance play time and personal time while taking care of your dogs. After all dogs need their personal time just like the us humans.

Animals are my passion.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around animals all my life, both big and small. Most of my experience with animals is in a non-professional capacity as I have worked as a volunteer for animal adoption events hosted by Lucky Dog animal rescue many times while in high school and frequently being the sole caretaker for my families dogs along with my neighbors pets. I do have professional experience caring for dogs as well as I have worked for Playful Pack dog daycare at their Rosslyn location for one summer.

Max was amazing extremely patient and super polite. I have a cattle dog that’s anxious and takes a minute to warm up to strangers, Max really took the time to get to know him and get him comfortable. He was very communicative with updates. Would definitely recommend

My pup loved her walks with Max. He was prompt and we could count on him and have rebooked for our next trip.

Max is super reliable and great with dogs! He is always on time, gives my dogs a ton of affection, and most importantly wears them out on walks and playtime! He even takes the time to make sure they have fresh water and food when I’m running late for work. 10/10 recommend!

My furry children, absolutely adore Max and he gives me complete peace of mind when I have to leave them in his care. He is reliable, flexible, and trustworthy. I could not recommend a better caregiver and highly recommend him.
