I will love your dogs like I love my own!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Max and my pronouns are they/them. I worked for 2.5 years at a doggy day care in Cobham. I have lots of experience with a variety of breeds and ages but especially nervous dogs and puppies. My job entailed being in an open field and managing 20-30 dogs with two other carers, feeding lunches, giving engagement, taking themed photos weekly and most importantly lots of cuddles! I live with my five year old chihuahua, Barney who I adopted just over a three years ago. He is full of character, very food orientated and adores playing with his toy squirrel! He is nervous around people but loves other dogs! In my childhood I grew up surrounded by labradors and have adored dogs from a very young age. I am first aid trained in humans and dogs and have attended several dog behaviour and puppy training IMDT courses. Dogs are such beautiful and intelligent animals; learning from them and building a relationship with individual dogs is a passion of mine. I have experience in 1-2-1 engagement with dogs and basic training such as sit, recall, touch and beginners agility. I recently graduated Kingston University as a graphic designer and so am very creative. I make my own dog treats from natural ingredients and have reused materials such as palettes to make dog beds, tyres to make obstacles and tunnels and rope used from tree surgeons for dog toys. I also create snuffle mats from fleece and garden mats. I have recently moved to Southampton and am looking for new clients. I will love and care for your dog like I love my own! I can’t wait to meet you both! (My legal name is Meg and so for ID reasons may come up as this in Rover but I would prefer to be referred to as Max. Thankyou)
Reviews
Having worked with Max at Bruce's Doggy Daycare for around three months, I spent a lot of time around them and dogs. Max is a natural when it comes to dogs and was for sure a favourite for all the dogs we worked with. Max calmed all the dogs they worked with and it taught me a lot when it comes to caring for dogs. There was not a single dog at day care that didn't love Max. My mum met max very briefly once and immediately thought of max whenever my dog was going to be left alone. A lovely person that the dogs can't get enough of!
I've know Meg for a couple of years now and I can honestly say she is dependable, responsible, honest and courteous. I would recommend Meg as a trustworthy person who can be relied upon and I would not hesitate to have her looking after and walking my dog.
Amazing, hardworking, passionate and dedicated are some of the words I’d use to describe Megs work ethic and their love of dogs. They are professional and courteous to every customer they meet. Experience with many breeds and temperaments, and how to help the quiet nervous dogs gain confidence and how to tire out an over excited or full of beans dog. You will feel safe and confident leaving your dog in Megs care.
Highly recommend Max for all your doggy care needs they are so loving and attentive and they always send picture updates! I knew just from first meeting Max that they would give so much love and attention not just to my dog but to every pup they care for!! Your pup will adore their time with Max and you will be so happy you found someone who will care for your pup as much as you do! I know I am!!

Basic characteristics, any allergies, neutered on intact, age, likes and dislikes, any history or ongoing conditions I should know about, their usual walking route, behaviours with other dogs and behaviours with other people.
A typical day
I will take dogs for long or short walks depending on the breed and age of the dog along with your preferences. My usual routes in Southampton are The Common, The Sports Centre and East Park. I also grew up in Nursling, Eastleigh and Romsey so know these area well too. I would be more then happy to do scent work with dogs using treats while on a walk or implanting training that you are working on with your pups!
