About Maxine

Hi there! My name is Maxine I am 28 years of age and I have a 5-year-old Kelpie cross. We spend most of our free time going on hikes/camping and exploring what Victoria has to offer. I am a friendly, polite and down to earth person who will treat everyone with the same respect. I’ve been an animal lover and animal enthusiast for as long as I can remember. They are a large part of my life and are a major passion of mine. I enjoy working with them in any manner I can including minding or walking your furry friend(/s) while you are away. I will ask if you would like me to send you regular updates of your pet while you are away for your peace of mind during our initial meet and greet. I have experience in mild dog training and lots of animal sitting (from all shapes, sizes and species).  

I currently offer home visits 1- 2 times a day and dog walking. I am located in Mentone and can travel to most south eastern suburbs to visit you and your furry friend (/s). I am currently employed at a nursery accompanied by university classes at various times, so please reach out and we can see what we can arrange.

DOG WALKING: all my walks usually last between 30-60 mins but I understand every dog is different and I am happy to cater to their individual needs if required. If your dog has a regular routine, i.e. a particular park with furry friends/or route I will endeavour to provide them with as much routine as possible. We can spend this time on a route walk or down at their local park playing and getting a good run in.  

HOUSE VISITS: if you are looking for house visiting services look no further. I spend a decent amount of time with your furry friend on your requested days/times. I have previously spent the visits emptying litter trays/picking up dog poo/playing with your pets/cuddles and attention/grooming/administering medication/vacuuming/taking out bins (rubbish)/bringing in mail/feeding/and topping up water. I understand every animal is different, i.e. some being on the shy side. But I will always endeavour to get to know your pet and their individual needs. Whether it be a special diet or a required medication I aim to help and make things easy while you are away. 

I have often heard people say to me about their dogs or cats or any form of animal, “oh he/she is not like that with other people, or isn’t as friendly with strangers” but I am always calm and show my love and they always seem to return it in more ways than one. 

I look forward to meeting you and/or your family in our initial meet and greet.

Maxine was wonderful with our 8 month old puppy. She responded quickly to our booking request and was able to organise to walk him straight away. She sent us photos of his walks each day and seemed to really care about him. We would absolutely recommend her to others.
