About Max's Pet Patrol
Our Story
My name is Alicia, and I am proud to introduce Max's Pet Patrol Pet Sitters—born from my lifelong dedication to caring for others, now channeled into serving your beloved pets. After 26 years in law enforcement, I chose to follow my heart and launch a pet care service rooted in love, trust, and genuine commitment. Named in memory of my beloved German Shepherd, Maximus, my company's mission is to provide your furry friends with the same comfort and companionship I would want for my own pets, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy in my care. When you choose Max's Pet Patrol, you're not just getting a pet sitter—you're gaining a trusted partner dedicated to making a positive difference in your pet's life and yours, one gentle paw print at a time.

I cannot recommend Alicia enough! Incredibly professional, friendly, and truly loves animals. She kept me updated with pictures and messages and reassured me that my dogs were in great hands.

Alicia took such good care of our Goldens for us while we were away. We have always had a family friend take care of the girls for us so it was comforting to have someone very trustworthy come in our home and take her time to love, feed and play with them. I definitely recommend Max's Pet Patrol for all your dog sitting needs!

Alicia is trustworthy, communicative, and organized. She sends wonderful photos and updates during her pet sitting. Our 2 cats warmed up to her quickly and looked happy in their photos. I have always felt very comfortable having her in our house. She runs her service like a real business which makes everything go so much better than a random pet sitter. I recommend her service with no hesitation!
