Verified Member since Nov 2023 Verified checkmark

"Based in Huntersville, I provide professional, reliable care for the dogs and cats of Cornelius, Davidson, Mooresville, and the surrounding Lake Norman area. With over 10 years of hands-on experience and my Pet Tech Certification in CPR & First Aid, I offer a high-end wellness experience for your furry family members.

The Story Behind Max's Furrever Friends: My journey started over a decade ago out of a pure passion for animal behavior and safety. Over the years, I have worked with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments—from high-energy puppies who need structure to senior dogs who require a gentle, slower pace. I understand that your pet isn't just an animal; they are a member of your family. That is why I treat every home I enter with the highest level of respect and every pet as if they were my own.

Why Choose a Certified Professional? Being Pet Tech Certified sets my services apart from the average hobbyist. I am trained to recognize early signs of illness, manage heat-related stress (crucial for our North Carolina summers), and perform emergency CPR if ever needed. When you book with me, you aren't just getting a walk; you are getting a trained eye focused on your pet’s health and safety.

The Mutts-Have Weekly Walk Club: I specialize in consistent care through The Club, a program featuring 4 professional 30-minute walks per 28-day period. This routine is designed to reduce 'boredom behaviors' and separation anxiety. Members receive:

Priority Scheduling: Your time slot is locked in and guaranteed.

Daily Report Cards: Real-time text/photo updates so you can see the fun we’re having!

GPS-Verified Visits: Peace of mind knowing exactly when I arrive and depart.

Custom Care Options: I know every pet is unique, so I also offer flexible 'Request a Quote' services:

Single Trial Walks ($30): A low-pressure way for us to meet and see if we are a perfect fit.

Cat & Small Animal Visits: Specialized care for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and birds. Includes feeding, litter cleaning, and playtime.

Overnight In-Home Sitting: The ultimate stress-free alternative to boarding. I stay at your home so your pet never has to leave their familiar environment.

Complimentary Home Care: I am happy to bring in your mail, water your plants, and rotate your lights to keep your home looking lived-in and secure while you are away.

Service Area: I proudly serve the Lake Norman region, focusing on neighborhoods within 15-20 miles of Huntersville and Cornelius.
