I currently work as an intern from home as a student, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule and lots of extra time for cuddles, playtime, and long walks. My husband and I always join visits together to ensure pets receive consistent, loving, round-the-clock care.

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my whole life and was lucky to spend 18 years with my Boston Terrier, Mayflower, who recently crossed the rainbow bridge. She and Piccolo were the best of friends, and raising them together has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I’ve worked with many long term clients, caring for their dogs from puppyhood through adulthood. I currently work from home while finishing my graduate internship at Columbia, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give pups lots of attention. My husband always joins me for visits and meet and greets. If that’s not something you’re comfortable with, I may not be the right sitter for you. We love showing up as a team to provide safe, loving, and consistent care. When I’m not dog sitting, I love hiking, backpacking, and camping, and Piccolo often comes along for the adventure. Dogs are my family, and I can’t wait to meet yours!

Max and her husband Kyle were a dream to work with! They were super communicative and provided me with all the updates I requested, sending photos and letting my know how my furry babies were doing while I was away. I came home to happy pets and a spotless home. Just wonderful!

Maxine came through last minute and really helped me out. She kept me updated with photos and left Moses the toys I filled with treats before heading out.
