I'll be best buds w/your best bud!

Pet care experience

I am a life long pet owner and lover, I have experience working at the Monmouth County SPCA as an adoption counselor and animal care provider. In my 5 years at the MCSPCA I worked with thousands of animals, largely puppies cats and kittens, mastering the arts of socialization, playtime, cuddles and the ability to telepathically communicate with most cats and dogs (at least that's what people tell me). When my shelters location closed I decided to start up my own pet care business as well as a small animal rescue, Jersey Animal Rescue. Along with the pups, I have a lot of experience with older dogs of all kinds, ranging from 12+ year old dogs who think they are still pups to senior dogs with limited mobility and need for medications and specialized gentle care. I also worked part time at Paws & Anchor pet grooming in Bradley beach. There I was animal CPR trained and certified and gained a lot of great experience with handling and cleaning dogs of all sizes and temperaments in a safe and comfortable manner. While I do not bath anymore I do work alongside an excellent Groomer who goes by the name, Suddsy Snouts, who I refer to for all of grooming and bathing requests Everyone I know calls me the animal whisperer, which I love, but I don't try to put my abilities on a pedestal. I just really truly love animals and think they are some of the best people around, so they deserve to be looked after and cared for with just as much love as would be given any human child. If I am the one to look after your babies I treat them as my family, and they will have as little stress and worry as possible while you are out.

Safety, trust & environment

Information Max R. would like to know about your pet

I like to come by before my scheduled visits to get to know your baby in the company of the family so they can meet me as a friend first and not a complete stranger. I am comfortable with any kind of dog no matter the size, breed, age, temperament or anything of the sort. When I come over for the first meet I like to have a walk through of your routine to know how to keep things as regular for everyone I may be watching. Any fun quirks such as places they may not like to be pet, favorite toys, things that set them off or make them uncomfortable would also be good to know to make them as happy and stress free as possible while you are away. It is also important to know how they are with other dogs, people of all shapes and sizes, if they have other friends in the neighborhood or if they like to be the only dog on the block. Any medical or special diet instructions are also a must to ensure the safety of your furry friend.

A typical day

I love playing outside with dogs! Whether we go for long walks, a stroll around the block, a trip to a local park, or just running around a fenced in yard with them, there's nothing more enjoyable then hanging out with our 4 legged friends! Once I get to know your baby I like to add in new games and tricks based on their play style, and I like to get creative with it to really use their interests and drives to enhance the time spent together. And if your dog is a more relaxed laid back kind of pup, I am an expert at couch cuddles, belly/back rubs, and all forms of play!
