I got this idea while on our walk today and just had to make it happen 🤣 I don’t mind (and I doubt Lola does either!) but it’s always funny when this happens 🩷

Let’s do a little re-introduction, shall we?

Hi everyone, I’m Max! (They/Them) I’m 20 years old and I am, of course, a massive animal lover 🩷 I’ve had rabbits since I was 8 years old, and I’ve been taking care of family & friends’ dogs and cats since I was 16. I now have over a year of professional experience under my belt, as well as full insurance, and can provide references if needed!

While I’m currently based in and around Southend-on-Sea, I’m willing to travel further for non-regular clients, but I do ask that you cover my travel costs on top of my usual prices :))

If I seem like a good fit for you and your furry friends, then feel free to message for any inquiries or a quote! Have a wonderful week, everyone 🫶🏻

Hello everyone! Here’s a little re-introduction as I haven’t posted in a while 💖 (Really hoping to get back on that soon haha)

I’m Max, a 20-year-old Pet Sitter with lots of experience. I’m based in and around Southend-on-Sea, and I’m willing to travel into London for non-regular clients.

I’ve been taking care of family friends’ dogs and cats since I was 16, and I’ve had rabbits since I was 8, so I have lots of experience! I particularly specialise in seniors, but am willing and able to take care of pets of any age. I am also a fast learner and I’m willing to take care of any type of pet!

This said, I’m unable to provide walks for larger dogs as I’m 4’10, so walking a dog that’s around the same size as me wouldn’t be feasible hahaha - apologies!

My prices currently (for any type & quantity of pet) are;

Good morning everyone !! Apologies for being M.I.A over the last few months - it’s been super hectic but I now have some Monday and Friday (and possibly Wednesday!) availability 💖 As a reminder, I’m willing to sit a range of pets, although I have the most experience with senior dogs :)) See below for my rates, and feel free to get in touch if you need me !!

What I’ve been up to recently 💖 Apologies for not being too active, I’ve been having camera difficulties so couldn’t get as much content as I’d like !! You’re still more than welcome to message for a quote (for any animal!) before prices change in the new year 🫶🏻
