Pup Retreat: One client at a time
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Maxine, a passionate dog lover with 20+ years of experience in caring for furry friends. If your pup enjoys cuddling up on the sofa or snuggling in bed, they're more than welcome to do so in my home. I ask you provide their food/treats, beloved toys, and a cozy bed or crate. Although I have a small yard, rest assured it's fully fenced in (check out the photos!). Your beloved companion will always be supervised and never left alone under my watchful care.
Reviews
Maxine was great! The communication was perfect, and just the right amount. Also received the best photos of our guy while we were gone! Maxine was friendly, laid back and easy to communicate with. We would love to use Maxine's services again!
Maxine was amazing with our dog, Zeke! She sent tons of pictures and kept us up to date on everything while we were out of the country. She was so accommodating around our flight schedule that ended up getting interrupted. Highly recommend her to everyone!
This is the 3rd visit my boy has had with Maxine and as normal she did an awesome job. She always takes plenty of pictures, and videos as well as keeping me updated how Milo is doing everyday. I will continue to book with Maxine for as long as she continues to sit ♥️🐕
Maxine is wonderful! I was nervous about the idea of dropping off my fur baby with a stranger for a week but Maxine really cares about the animals she dogsits. From the moment I started texting her I knew she was the one I could feel comfortable leaving my Bella with. Not only did she give Bella her meds and keep up with her feeding schedule and potty breaks, she loved her as if she was her pet. She cuddled with her and took several super adorable photos and shared them with me throughout the week. I would absolutely call Maxine again to look after Bell for me and know she was loved and taken care of. This route is 1000× better than using a boarding service especially for my pom that needs love and attention. Bella enjoyed her time with Maxine. Thank you for everything, Maxine! 😍 ❤️

Information Maxine S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any medical conditions or special needs. Please also make sure your dog’s profile is up-to-date with vet information and feeding schedule. Important: Bring extra food and/or medication in case you experience any unforeseen travel delays.
A typical day
A typical day while pet sitting with me starts with a warm welcome and plenty of snuggles. Depending on your fur baby’s meal schedule we can start with breakfast and then head out to the fenced yard for a refreshing bathroom break and some playtime. In between meetings, we'll have some interactive play sessions and relax together. Throughout the day, I'll ensure they have frequent potty breaks and lots of love and attention. We'll wind down the evening with a cozy cuddle session before they settle into their comfortable spot for a peaceful night's sleep. Rest assured, your furry friend will be well-cared for and entertained during their stay!
