“I highly recommend Maxine to any dog owner looking for a place where their furry family member will be happy and well cared for. She is a dog lover - she knows how to cater to each dog's unique personality and make them feel right at home. Our dog was excited to see Maxine when we arrived. Maxine took cute pictures that looked like professional pictures. She sent us photos of Sparkles throughout her stay so we could see she was happy. Maxine offers excellent dog boarding- your pet will have just as much fun as ours did!.”

“Such an amazing family to watch our girl Daisy! She looked so happy and loved in every photo/video we received on our vacation. They bought her some toys and food when she was running low, so they were 10/10 awesome sitters! Will for sure be hitting them up again the next time we need someone to watch Daisy:)”

We are so thankful to Rachel for taking great care of our girl, we were able to actually relax on vacation knowing Murphy was safe and happy.”

She sent me multiple updates a day with how he was doing and pictures which warmed my heart and eased my mind. I will definitely be using Eileen again next time I need a sitter for my pup!”


About: I rescued my first dog off the side of the street when I was In college! I’ll love your pet like I love My own! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was A teenager and have trained several dogs in both Dallas and NJ - basic commands and basic social etiquette. I work in higher education so I’m free all summer long to give your pet the best care possible! My availability is open until mid august and then I only work till noon Mondays through Thursdays so I’m very much at home and hanging with the pups! I have A 6 year old black lab in house- so your pup will have someone to play with (and a crate full of bark box toys!) your dog will have a chance to utilize the turf dog park in my community, go on 1.5 mile walks, and have many potty breaks as I’m home all day and night! Marco is easy going and likes all dogs - he even shares the bed! I have A fenced in turf yard with space for the animals to relax. I live In a townhome. Please note- I live in a community with breed restrictions therefore, I am Unable to take in certain dogs for boarding (I love Them all, but have to follow the rules!)

“CeCe is Awesome! We are so happy we found her service. She treats our fur babies like her children. She is such a kind soul. We won’t use anyone else but CECE, she even bought gifts for our pups. Thank You again for an amazing experience!”


“Lexi was so great with our dog Otto! We were gone for 2 weeks which was the longest we’ve ever been away from him. Lexi sent us pictures and videos every day and we could tell he was having an awesome time. Would recommend Lexi to anyone who needs a responsible and caring pup sitter! ?”


“Our first experience with our dachshund Gertrude has been tremendously successful. Gertrude was well cared for and happy ... Kristin's little "shadow" for a week. We look forward to an upcoming stay scheduled for August. We are happy to give Kristin glowing recommendation!”


“Lacey is the best! I recently needed to board my pup last minute for a few days and she was readily available. She always responds to texts quickly, she sends daily pics of your pet to let you know how they’re doing, and she genuinely cares about the pets she’s watching. 10/10!”


“Cynthia was easy to coordinate with and really helped me out by watching my cat(Mr. Stitches) given a short notice. She sent me daily photo updates where in Mr. Stitches looked very much at ease. I would trust Cynthia again and recommend her as a pet sitter for anyone in the Tampa Bay Area.”
