Information Max P. would like to know about your pet

I'm sitting a sweet, well-behaved Vizsla for the majority of the summer, so I'm only able to accept friendly/socialized dogs until September 2026. I'm otherwise able to accommodate most house-trained dogs (including large/anxious/reactive dogs), but please be transparent about any behavioral or medical issues before booking!

A typical day

15 years of dog ownership turned me into an avid walker. I'm a big believer in activity & engagement of all varieties, but dedicated outside time is always a central part of the day. I also have tons of dog toys & treats that I'm happy to share with your permission.

Max was awesome!! Best sitter we’ve had. He made sure to send updates and tons of photos during my dog’s stay. We will definitely book with him again!

Max is not only an excellent dog sitter but just a great guy as well… he did a great job with my Great Dane for 9 days while I was away and kept us updated through the whole thing. I would recommend 10 times out of 10.

I would not trust anyone else with my dogs other than Max. I had him pet sit my pug and yorkie/poodle mix while I was away on vacation and I was more than pleased! My pups were even missing him when he left!

I have known Max for over 10 years. He is an exceptional pet-owner, exemplifying the only type of animal caretaker I trust with my dog. He is attentive, patient, caring, and thoughtful. Any time Max has walked my dachshund, he has returned in perfect condition, and his treatment of his own dog Willy, is exceptional.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
