Highlights
Pet care experience
The beach vacation your 🐶 deserves
I am an animal-loving ski instructor turned grad student who lives on a beach where pups I care for live their best lives 🏖️☀️ I’m best known for the sandy, fun-filled experience I create to make each pet feel special ❤️. I go above and beyond to make sure they feel loved, cozy, and at ease, with fresh water, treats, and a sunny spot on the balcony to look out at the ocean 🌊 when not snuggled on the couch. I carefully follow parents’ instructions, including administering medication when needed. I cater to each dog’s activity level — for daycare or boarding, this means lots of beach time alongside our home daily 🐚 Beach walks, fetch 🎾 or playing at our neighborhood puppy hangs for the super social pup. I love to send lots of photos and videos throughout the day so you feel like you never left 💌

Ratings and reviews
Maxine did an amazing job looking after our dog Jax! Maxine was super friendly, caring and responsible!☺️
Outstanding, friendly, flexible, trustworthy!
Our dogs loved Maxine! She was so great with them- taking them on multiple walks on the beach and paying special attention to our instructions and routine. She was also available on short notice which we were so thankful for! Multiple updates and pictures throughout the day and always responded quickly. We will definitely use Max again!! 🫶🏻
Maxine was amazing! She took such good care of our dog, Olive. She was so communicative, took lots of photos, and was very respectful of our home. Would highly recommend her!
Maxine has been absolutely amazing with our dogs. She is incredibly caring, attentive, and treats each dog as if they were her own.She kept us updated, paid close attention to their individual needs, and went above and beyond with many things that weren’t even part of her responsibilities. One of our dogs recently developed a leg issue and needed extra care, and Maxine was so patient, gentle, and thoughtful during the entire process. Knowing our dogs were with her gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving toward animals. Our dogs adore her, and we would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional pet care. Thank you, Maxine, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family members!
Highly recommend!

Schedule
I prioritize pet care while taking classes part time for grad school. I’m home full-time with the exception of a couple hours on select week days. I live with my incredible partner who doubles up on all of the love and attention 🐶❤️
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my years of ski instructing, I practiced skills like patience, attentiveness, and being in tune with behavior & non-verbal cues. I bring my same calm, responsive care to pets, helping them feel at ease, secure, and genuinely cared for.
A typical day
Beach walks, fetch on the beach, playing with toys, cuddles, dog parks - I’m happy to accommodate the activities your pet is accustomed to or what you’re looking for so just let me know!
