Michael did a great job caring for Jethro my Pitbull. He responds quickly and was very flexible with changing plans. So nice to come home and see my healthy, happy four legged friend.

Mike helped us out for a last-minute short trip, and did a great job with our two cats. In addition to following directions for their care, he kept their food dishes really clean, which we appreciated. When we returned, they seemed calm, which we interpret to mean they were comfortable and content with Mike! We would definitely hire him again!
