Safety, trust & environment

I focus on keeping pets comfortable by trying to follow their normal routines to the best of my ability. In your home, I make sure they get the right balance of attention, exercise, and quiet time. I handle feeding, walks, litter care, play time, and any special instructions with care and consistency. I always check in with updates so you know how your pets are doing, and I aim to create a calm, safe environment where dogs and cats feel relaxed while you’re away.

Information Max H. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of your pet's normal daily routine, feeding schedule, and play schedule. Let me know if they have any favorite toys or treats and how often they like (or are allowed) to receive those. I also would like to know of any pertinent medical information and the pet's local vet in the unlikely case an issue arises while you are out of town.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, active, and engaged. Whether it’s going on walks, playing fetch, or receiving pets, I tailor activities to each pet’s preference. For cats, that might mean dangling string toys, rolling balls, or chin pets. For dogs, we might run around in the yard or play with an indoor rubber toy. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels loved and stimulated.

Trusted, Detail-Oriented Pet Care

Pet care experience

I grew up caring for medium and large dogs, and for the past few years I’ve been a devoted cat dad. Friends often ask me to look after their pets because they know I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with a variety of pet personalities and routines, and I take pride in making dogs and cats feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their people are away.

Max has watched our cat Olive for the last year every time we’ve gone out of town and we’ve loved his work! We continue to use him because he proves reliable while catering to our cat’s special needs and making her feel loved while we’re away. She’s a very energetic cat, and he spends time playing with her and knows her favorite toys. We always love that he will send a quick picture or video so that we can see for ourselves that she’s doing well. We would highly recommend Max to anyone looking for a heartfelt caretaker for their pets!

Max was an excellent cat sitter while I was away. From the start, he showed genuine compassion and attentiveness toward my cat, making me feel completely at ease. He followed instructions carefully, from feeding routines to playtime preferences, and was respectful in my apartment. My cat felt comfortable and cared for. I highly recommend Max to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter who clearly loves cats.

Max did a great job watching our dog Toby, a very energetic 55 pound ball of energy. Toby had nice long walks and a lot of play time under Max's care. Max was also diligent about sending pictures of Toby in action. He treated Toby like a member of his family and for that we are grateful.

I’ve known Max for many years and I can confidently say that he is responsible, reliable, kind, and overall a great person. He loves animals and has cared for his own with all his heart. I would trust Max to watch any of my pets in the future.
