Pet care experience

Trust your pet is in great hands!

Are you looking for a trusted professional to care for your pet while you are away? I am excited to love your pet and ensure they gets the much needed attention they deserve. As a paramedic for the past 23 years, I hope you can find trust and reassurance in allowing me into your home while you are away, Knowing your belongings are safe and that I will treat your home with the upmost respect. I have spent many years loving my high energy Boxer. We would spend hours off leash in many different areas of the city. I took that time to also train her to be well controlled off leash and well in high social areas. Let me help you to ensure your dog is well loved and exercised.

Ocean came home happy and exhausted!! Maxine had great communication, was very reliable, and is clearly very comfortable and competent handling large dogs. I really appreciated her help, and I know Ocean would love to see her again!

Maxine was very accommodating to my dog's needs. She took the time to come meet him first and made him comfortable.

Maxine was great with Turin who is very skittish around new people. She even managed to get him to eat for her so she has won him over!

While walking your dog, or visiting your home, rest assure they will be treated with the upmost respect and love.

We will work together to ensure their needs are met by your specifications.

Pets

A typical day

I love to ensure dogs get the most out of their day. I believe when they get the much needed attention through walking and play they will behave their best causing less issues while in the home. I am happy to take them for long walks in the bush and can engage them in training/play.
