Max was a very kind and attentive pet/house sitter to my two cats. I have an unusual set up with my cats living entirely separated and he was a trooper about it. He handled my cat's inhaler and their routine with ease. My shy cat even eventually warmed up to him and played with him. He was mindful of all my instructions and was responsive to messages I sent him while I was away. I would book him again!

Max was great with Willy, taking him on walks and spending quality time with him.

Max was awesome! We have a high energy border collie mix with a lot of separation anxiety and we were nervous how he would do with a new sitter. But Max made the effort to do multiple meet and greets so our dog was comfortable with him and came over the day we left to help ease the transition. He made sure to give him exercise each day and sent us daily picture updates so we knew things were going well. He was even flexible and willing to stay an extra night when there was an issue with our return flights. House was left spotless when we returned home and we had one happy pup. We would be happy to book again or recommend to any other pet parents looking for a fantastic sitter. :) Thank you Max!!!!

Great job communicating and taking care of my big, goofy dogs. I’m bad at writing reviews, but it was all good 👍🏼

Max did an excellent job taking care of my dog while I was gone over the holidays. I'd highly recommend him to anyone seeking someone to sit or do drop-ins.

I must say, it's rare to come across a service that impresses me as much as Max's pet sitting did. From the get-go, their professionalism and warmth were evident. They took the time to understand the unique needs of our beloved Roxie, a sprightly cattle dog with more energy than most pups half her age! The updates we received were not only reassuring but also brought a smile to our faces. Photos of Roxie playing fetch, enjoying his favorite treats, and even lounging peacefully - a testament to the comfortable environment provided. It was clear that Max didn't just 'watch' Roxie, but truly engaged with her, ensuring he was happy, active, and well-cared for. Their attention to detail was impeccable. From adhering to Roxie's dietary needs to ensuring his medication schedule was strictly followed, they left no stone unturned. We also appreciated the little touches, like leaving a detailed note about Roxie's activities and behaviors during their stay. In a world where service often seems to have lost its personal touch, Max reminded us of the good old days when people truly took pride in their work. We returned to a happy pet and a home just as we left it, if not tidier! In conclusion, we cannot recommend Max enough. They are not just a pet sitter; they are a godsend for any pet parent looking for peace of mind. Rex has found a new friend, and we have found someone we can trust implicitly with our furry family member. Five stars all the way!
