Will walk/run and play with any dog

Hello! My name is Max Schroeder and I am a dog lover! I have grown up around dogs all my life, and currently have a 4 year old Aussie, Millie, and 1 year old Border Collie, Jett. I am very willing to run and excersize any dog! My parents have 2 15+ year old dachshunds, who have had vast health problems, I am very experienced with taking care of sick dogs, and giving them medication and food daily. I live in Warrenville with my fiancée, Joselyn, who is also a dog and cat lover and does an amazing job with our pets and others. This summer we have had a bit of time open up as I’m able to work from home and she’s finishing up school! Would love to schedule a meet and greet to meet you and your beloved pets!

Maisie always loves staying with Max and Joselyn when we’re in the area! She has a great time playing with Millie and Jett, and we always get plenty of pictures and updates. Thanks again for her holiday stay!

Max was able to watch Brody on short notice and was flexible with our drop off and pick up times. Max always keeps Brody entertained and takes him outside to play. We will definitely keep hiring Max to watch Brody for us!

Max has been amazing with Meera! I can't thank him enough. He sent daily updates everyday and also kept me informed about her food & potty. I was so relieved whenever Meera is with Max. I know she is in good hands. I love his pup - Millie. She's very good with puppies.

Max was great with Mira! She's only 4 months old and she was so comfortable with him and his dog Millie. He kept me engaged throughout the day! Mira got her outside playtime even in winter season that is so commendable. Thank you so much Max! Glad I found him!

Max took great care of our puppy Brody! He sent us photos/videos often while Brody stayed with him, and was super responsive with messaging us. Max was also able to watch Brody last-minute for us prior to a week-long vacation we had scheduled when our typical family sitter wasn't available. He even scheduled an immediate meet & greet for us so we all felt comfortable, which was super important for us since we have never left our dogs with anyone other than family before. Brody was super happy staying with Max, his girlfriend, and their sweet dog Millie. We could tell Brody was having a lot of fun and felt super comfortable through the photos Max sent. We will definitely not hesitate to have Max watch Brody again! You can tell that Max loves dogs and treats them like family. Thank you again Max, we really appreciated the awesome care you took of Brody!

I have no preference! Just some basic knowledge about if the dog has any past experience with biting people, so I know how to approach it. As well as, if the dog has or is recovering from any sickness or injuries.
