Max was so great with my dog Ollie! He told me daily what they got up to and was always super responsive. Would recommend Max to anyone needing dog watching.

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.

Safety, trust & environment

In addition to my dog & cat care certifications, my apartment is cleaned thoroughly each week, kept at a comfortable 68-74°year-round, & located on a tree-lined block less than a mile from Ryan Veterinary Hospital (PennVet)!

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 outside time is always a central part of the day. I also have plenty of toys & treats to share with your permission!
