About Max M.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment with no yard right now down the street from lake Merrit. There is a dog park just 1 block down the street with a fence that I will walk dogs down to 4-8 times a day depending on the needs of the dog. We do have a large apartment and very pet friendly environment.

Pet care experience

I have been caring for pets my entire life. I have always had at least two or three cats and dogs or two. I have raised puppies and cared for elderly pets. I have cared for diabetic cats and dogs with cancer. I understand the importance of following pet parents instructions when caring for other’s animals because each pet has very different needs.

Max is my go to house sitter. Anytime i go out of town i have him watch my two kitties and my dog. He takes great care and is extremely responsible. The pets love him over the rainbow. He took care of my pets while i was away in scotland for 3 weeks and even dealt with taking my poor dog to the vet when he got an upset stomach. I felt really relaxed knowing Max was on it.

For 3 years Max has been regularly walking and taking care of my dog Shorty when I go out of town. Max has been exceptional with his reliability and responsibility. Shorty adores Max, and I feel at ease knowing that my fur baby is safe, happy, and cared for when he is with Max.

I do not have a river account but Max took care of my 3 cats while I was away in Japan. He did an amazing job and the cats love him. He is very responsible and trust worthy. He is always the first person I think of when I need someone to care for my pets because I know he understands that animals need lots of attention and care. Yua k.
