Former HSBV Trainer Ready for Walks
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Maxie and I’m a former HSBV-trained behavior modification specialist. While I no longer work at HSBV, I’ve retained the passion and knowledge caring for dogs, and would love the opportunity to bond with your pup for their daily or weekly mid-day walk. I’ve loved dogs for my entire life and have had dogs for half of my life. My schedule has recently opened up to allow for a few additional clients. I can’t wait to bond with your best friend! I’m available for shorter neighborhood walks or longer incline hikes along the foothills community park to tire your pup out. We can also work on some basic training while we’re out. Feel free to reach out with any questions and schedule a walk to see if we’re a good fit! Walks are one-on-one so I can give your buddy my undivided attention. Exceptions may be made for 2 smaller dogs from the same household. Due to my limited car access, I am only available to take on clients in the Dakota Ridge, Trail Crossing, Holiday and North Wonderland neighborhoods.
Reviews
Maxie has been great with my doggo Rae. She can be a handful and Maxie and Rae bonded immediately. Will continue to use Maxie for neighborhood walks in the future.
My dog liked Maxie right away and so did I! She is warm, friendly, reliable, and very good with dogs. Jade dog comes home happy after spending time with her.
Maxie is a gift to animals and their families. She is compassionate and kind as well as knowledgeable. She has experience working with fearful animals as well as those who might need additional space from other dogs in order to feel safe. She is a clear communicator and trustworthy. You and your pets would be lucky to work with Maxie!
We LOVE Maxie, she took such great care of our sweet boy! We are helicopter doggy parents and we couldn't have been more at ease about leaving our 75lb lab with her when she was doing some in home sitting at her house. We always got pictures and she would let us know about the epic tugs of war that would ensue and sweet photos of nap time. Maxie really puts the dogs first, she's patient and very kind. Love her!!

Safety, trust & environment
I am a responsible 30-something adult who will treat your pup and property with respect and care upon entering, while on our walk and on my departure to ensure everything is left in the condition it was found. I would be happy to provide pictures and my Apple Watch data from our walk so you can see our time, duration, and a map of our excursion!
Home
Information Maxie S. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if you dog has any reactivity to other dogs, people, wild animals and how you typically handle such behavior. I would also like to know if your dog pulls on leash and what equipment you have to minimize pulling (easy-walk harness, gentle leader, etc). Any other noteworthy walking (mis)behavior (poop-eating, jumping) and how you handle it. I would also like to know if your dog has any special diet or food restrictions so I can bring tasty treats for them!
A typical day
Depending on your pups size, energy needs, and time of our walk, I will either stay in the neighborhood, venture to foothills community park, hike the paraglide trails, or stop by the dog park (with prior permission) to romp around with some other pups!
