Pet care experience
We are a seasoned and well rounded dog owners of both large and small for the majority of my life. My daughter Claire, (pictured on the left) does the house sitting at our clients homes alone with her husband, while I stay home and do the dog boarding at my home. We currently have 3 very friendly Labrador retrievers which are considered more of family member and less as a pet. We have experience in the training of pups and addressing the special needs of our senior canine friends. As a sitter we have our dogs as a companion, plenty of space to run, fetch and a pool to swim in if your dog has a passion for the water. We have always had a love of animals, dogs in particular because of the reciprocal relationship that can be created. My daughters and I would love to share this with your pet and we are equally eager to take on your furry family member as well.
Reviews
Zoey had a great experience with Maxine. She was here for 8 days. Zoey got her daily walks, wasn’t alone very often and played fetch to her heart’s content. We came back to a clean house and a clean yard. Additionally Maxine stayed an extra 5 hours because our flight got us home later than we originally planned.
I do not recommend this sitter Maxine/Claire for in home house sitting. They watched my dogs from Aug 20th-25th. My dogs were left alone for over 12 hours a day. I know this because I have cameras and a security system which tells me when the door opens. During the meet and greet I told her my 2 dogs are good for about 8 hours. They do not have accidents when I am home or at work. When I had first arrived to my destination I had noticed I didn’t get a notification that my door was opened and that she had been to my house. I text her and she lied saying that she was there and would be back within 30 minutes. She had not been to my house yet. Finally got a notification that she was there about an hour later. My dogs were left alone for about 14 hours that day. When I arrived home on the 25th my house smelled of urine and feces. I saw a couple urine spots on the floor and quickly cleaned them up. My yard was also full of feces. Despite me communicating that my older dog Bella 17years needs to be watched she allowed my dog to eat feces which resulted in my dog having diarrhea and a vet visit upon my return. As time went on the smell of urine continued to strengthen in my room. To which I found a giant puddle of urine that had went under my bed. I cleaned it however it seems to have seeped thro the flooring and my room still smells of urine. The sitter did not end up staying with my animals the last 2 nights. I have used rover in the past and have had great experiences. However this sitter did not properly care for my animals in my own home. My dogs suffered a great deal while I was away. I have placed a former complaint to Rover and have not received much help. I am leaving this review so others animals do not suffer like mine did. Thank You!
Maxine is amazing! She is extremely reliable and communicative!
We’ve left our pup under the care of Maxine multiple times. We just went on another vacation without worrying about our pup knowing he’s in good hands. Thank you Maxine!!!

Information Maxine R. would like to know about your pet
I prefer highly socialized dogs, house trained, child friendly,non aggressive/threatening behaviors to worry about. I would like to know if the dog is destructive, I.E. (chewing, biting etc.), just to make adjustments to the surroundings. We have and LOVE labs and retrievers, but no preference on the breed.
A typical day
The activities that we will do are, our nearby hiking trail, swimming pool time during the summer months as well as dog park nearby, yard play, daily walks if needed and plenty of zzzz time.

My daughter Claire, is currently a college student and works from home and her husband will tag along during most nights at guests houses if he isn’t working, so she will have lots of time to be with your pupps and keep them company always. I work from home as well while being a grandma full time watching my grandkids.
