Maxine's Loving Dog Care

I would love to have the opportunity to love and care for your babies. I am caring and compassionate and love animals. I am trustworthy, reliable and fairly flexible. Dogs would have full access to my patio area, but would have to be put on a leash to be taken for walks, etc. Inside, they would have free roam of the house and be allowed on furniture. I am a retired RN. I attend exercise classes three to five days a week and do some volunteering for Richardson Methodist Hospital through my church. Most of my activities or obligations are in the morning, leaving most afternoons, evenings and weekends free. Please be assured that I would have plenty of playtime with your dog and give them my undivided attention.

This was our first time trying Rover so we were a bit nervous prior to booking. But, we are SO thankful we found Maxine! She was kind enough to do a brief Meet and Greet beforehand. Milo had the best time staying with Maxine. She took such good care of him and sent us updates and photos.

It’s always a pleasure for both me and my pet when Maxine watches him! She is so kind, caring and patient and provides daily photos and updates.

Maxine was absolutely wonderful! She took such good care of Welly while we were away. She provided daily updates, which I was very grateful for and Welly always looked well cared for. We will definitely be rebooking with Maxine in the future.

We love Maxine! Our ole Lady girl is elderly and Maxine takes such good care of her. She sends me updates and asks questions to ensure Lady is comfortable. Lady comes back healthy and happy.

Another great experience with Maxine! Second time to use her and will plan our future travels around her availability because we know it’s a smooth experience. :)

Maxine was very good with giving meals and medications on time and as per our instructions to our small senior dog, Rookie who seems to thrive on the attention and affection Maxine showers upon her. We were very glad and relieved to see Rookie looking happy and well cared for when we picked her up on May 31st. Rookie will definitely be a repeat boarder with Maxine whenever we need her services next.

Schedule

I am retired, so I'm able to board dogs overnight or for daycare only. I spend a lot of time with them, giving them lots of love and attention.

Safety, trust & environment

I try to follow the dogs usual routine, so as to make them more comfortable. I have a fenced in patio so they can run free and put a lease on them for walks. Not knowing how they may react with other dogs, I turn around if I see another dog being walked, to prevent a possible altercation.

A typical day

I live near a creek with a nice path. The area has a lot of grass and trees and is away from traffic noise. There's plenty of space to sniff and explore.

I want to know how old they are and how much they weigh. I want to know if they are house broken and if they are good with children and other dogs.
