Reliable, Relaxed, Animal lover

57, Animal carer/ Hypnotherapist/ Semi Retired

I am a calm, quiet, patient woman who has spent my life around animals, from rats to budgies to cats, dogs, chickens ,snakes, guineapigs, fish, birds, tortoises, stick insects and I am not phased by any animal.
I am also good with plants, and can cut the grass if required.
References are available.

I get called Mrs Doolittle by my friends and have many animal pals that I have looked after.
Please note I will not leave your animals more than a couple of hours except for sleep time of course and if your dogs sleep on the owners bed then that is what will happen, if they are not allowed upstairs or in certain rooms, that will happen too.

I have owned my own dogs from rescues which have sadly passed through old age over the last two years one was a huge Romanian Shepherd the other a Springer Spaniel, so I thought I could travel around this country meeting people and looking after other peoples pets.
The longest sit I have done to date is six weeks in Lichfield for two small dogs, they had dietary needs which meant cooking fresh meat for their dinners. I follow the hosts instructions 100 % as the animals being settled, loved and well cared for is my top priority.

Another one of the longest pet sit I did in 2018 was in Ireland for four chickens, two cats which had separate dietary needs and a very nervous rescue dog for a month last year.

During lockdown I looked after a Labradoodle whose owner was too ill to walk him.



I have pet sat many times over the years and the owners ask me back repeatedly. I am professional and respectful of other peoples homes and follow any instructions given.
House sits two weeks or longer are preferred.
Thank you for reading and hope to meet you soon.

Maxine was a brilliant sitter - calm, relaxed and competent, she has a real way with animals and I felt totally confident leaving the geese in her care. She even managed to deal with a goose injury on day one! I came back to a sparkling clean house and a meal prepared. Maxine is the perfect house and pet sitter, and as my first experience of using housesitters.uk it couldn't have been better. Highly recommended.

Thank you, it was one of the nicest, peaceful sits I have done.x
Maxime is the Mary Poppins of dogsitters. We returned to happy dogs, a sparking clean house, flowers and a beautiful meal prepared f0r us. She even took us to the station and collected us on our return. Maxime gave me daily updates via Whatasapp and i could see how well she integrates with the dogs. The dogs had a great time and definitely miss her today. Come back soon Maxime, We mss you
