Highlights
Pet care experience
Chilled, capable house sitter
I adore animals! Throughout my life I have had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, even a mouse and hamster! I have only limited experience with horses so probably not an option. I have my own car. I can walk a dog within 3 miles of Hollywater. I can housesit within a three hour drive for longer than three day stays of GU35. When I was younger I volunteered for a wildlife rescue centre and more recently I have been a volunteer for the cinnamon trust for a few years, especially over lockdown which was a lovely way to get out as a keyworker, chat to the owners and walk the dogs. I have even massaged racing greyhounds!
Cat care experience
Maxine also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I would be in your home and would care for them according to your instructions and their usual routine. I understand that they will miss you while you are away so their usual daily life needs to be the same, if not very similar to what they are usually used to with lots of love.
Ratings and reviews
Maxine is an outstanding pet sitter. She cared for my three cats, two elderly and one very mischievous youngster, with such kindness and attention. The older cats recieved the gentle patience they need, while the youngest had plenty of play and stimulation to keep her happy. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care, especially with the regular updates and photos she sent. It was clear that Maxine took the time to understand each cat's personality and routine, I came home to find them content and relaxed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Maxine to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable and genuinely caring pet sitter.
