Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to take any dog I'm watching for at least a 10-15 minute walk several times a day I think just letting them out to go to the bathroom and immediately going back in isn't really enough exercise. Some of my friends have a fenced in backyards so after checking that both doors are closed I will sit outside with their dogs while they runs around and throw things for them to play with.

Life is Better with Pets

Pet care experience

I have been helping my friends with their dogs for years and have immense patience for playing with puppies and older dogs. I have house sat for dogs that get up at the crack of dawn and taken my friends' dogs for plenty of late night walks. I have also cleaned up all kinds of pet bathroom mishaps so I'm not afraid to work with dogs that aren't totally house broken

Max is amazing! Penny and Peanut loved him. He was so great with them -took them for a long walk and then play time and belly rubs! Will definitely reach out to Max again.

Max was awesome. He understood the needs of my senior dog who is deaf and blind. I will definitely be using Max again!

Max was great with my dog Lucy who is 15 and a very picky eater. He stayed with her for 10 days and had her eating like a champ. We had never left Lucy this long and i was very uneasy about it but Max was great. He gave us many updates and pictures and Lucy did great with him. Our house was left cleaner than when we left! I would highly recommend Max for pet sitting. He was the best!!

Max did a wonderful job with walking my dog. He is really nice and knowledgeable. I really appreciate his patience and look forward to having him walk my dog again.
