I am happy to work within the parameters you set. I am able to administer oral meds and special diets. Every pet has their own individual needs and I am more than happy to fulfill them. I want to make sure your pets get the care they deserve!

Information Max J. would like to know about your pet

I have worked with a large variety of breeds and temperaments. Tell me about your furry friends personality and quirks and I’ll be happy to work with you and your animal to ensure everyone is happy! Puppy rates are negotiable depending on their age. Please let me know if your pet needs medication as that may incur an additional fee.

A typical day

I love going on long walks, playing fetch, and going to parks. I am happy to go at your dogs speed; whether they need to mosey along or have some pep in their step, I’ll make sure we have a blast when we’re together.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs since 2007. I have worked with young, energetic pups to senior dogs. I am familiar with walking social dogs as well as reactive dogs. I am able to teach and reinforce commands like sit, paw, down, and more. I can help puppies learn their manners, like potty training and bite inhibition. I look forward to being a great dog walker for you and a friend for your pooch or cat!

Max continues to provide outstanding care for my cats! They both just love all of the attention and play time that Max spends with them. Time away from my pets is less stressful when Max cares for them. And Max timely communicates status and updates to us ... so very much appreciated!

This is our second time using Max. It has been such a relief being able to leave on vacation and know our animals are being cared for and loved on. Both our dogs and cats adore Max and have taken to him right away. He sends great daily updates and pictures that we really appreciate. We will continue to use Max in the future!

Max was able to set up a last-minute booking for me and I’m very grateful! He is very responsive and communicates well. He was also great with administering my cat’s eye drops/ointment, which can definitely be a learning curve! It’s reassuring to know that there’s somebody that I trust and can reach out to when if I ever need someone to watch my cat! Thanks Max!

Very happy with Max. Teddy was well cared for and Max send photos and an update when he was finished. He was available for a meet and greet beforehand to ensure Teddy was comfortable.
