About Max

As you can see Rocky gets out a lot, he has lots of adventures and is so well behaved he is rarely on a lead. I have taught him how to walk, socialise, learn in a way which is both safe and fun.

Rocky is a very well natured border collie puppy and being submissive, he is very calm and good natured - he is well loved around the Community.

Rocky gets to sleep either on his dog beds and pillows, or on the couch, he gets to choose, he eats very well and gets lots of cuddles and attention all day. We have a new puppy, Reine, who is a Dalmatian. She will be the boss of the house one day and has a great personality, she is lucky to learn good behaviours off rocky, who is a great older brother and role model!

We cycle, run, walk and hike. Your dog will get the same...

I have a WWCC and Police clearance, international and national.One of us WFH and we would typically be best to help across weekends to give more attention. We just bought Rocky about 10-15 toys as we like to keep him busy!!

A typical day is always different, it depends on the dog and the needs of the owner, it can be more subdued or more fun and that really comes down to the needs of the dog and the owner. We can walk a dog for 10 minutes, if they are a puppy or an hour if they are a bigger dog, really it depends on your dog and anything in-between. We can offer 2-3 dog walks a day, which can range in time from 10 minutes up to an hour. I can take them out running too or on a hike if you would like to really expend some energy. We are happy to take up to 3 of your dogs at a time. We are happy to give medication, whether orally or otherwise. As I said, I am able to do training with your dog (this would be at an extra cost), having taught my puppy without any puppy school and together we can groom your dog and Lex is great at doing tricks!!!!

Our house is really safe, we have a fully fenced and gated, and as you can see its a nice, big garden, so lots of play time in the fresh air. We have dog beds and a nice setup as you can see, but if your dog wants to sleep in our room too, cuddles are always welcome.

When it comes to your house we will follow all your protocols to keep your house safe as we would our own. Keeping doors shut and gates shut, checking perimeters for holes and ensuring we have all eyes on your dog and keeping them active and engaged. We can spend a 30 mins to 1 hour when house visiting but we are happy to discuss on an individual basis. This would include feeding and letting out for the toilet and playing with them, If you want walks this would be additional, but everything can be discussed  We are best to help on the weekends, as well as morning and evenings, but can be flexible at times to help for longer periods, when they are with us, they will be part of our day and hanging with us with whatever we do.

I would say we are best suited to dogs with lots of energy :)

Any questions, please fire away :)



Nb Just for full disclosure. If you want your pup to stay for a few nights and then want to pick up in the late morning or afternoon/evening, you would need to book day boarding too please.

This was out second time using Max. Max has a natural affinity with dogs. He went above and beyond helping to dat sit our dog and even put our bins away when returning her getting an outing! Thank you, Max! Highly recommend!

Our dog enjoyed two nights at Max's this week and came away very contented and tired having enjoyed playing with the other dogs who were there at the same time at the home. :)
