Michael has a lot of experience with larger dogs. We were kind of worried if our dog will like him but it was love at first sight! He handled him so well. We are so glad to find him!!

House Sitting • Jan 23, 2026

Michael was fantastic! He took wonderful care of Stanley and Millie and did a great job communicating with us every day, including sending photos that we really appreciated. One of our dogs is ill, needs daily medication, and is very attached to me, and Michael handled this beautifully — she did great and was clearly comfortable and well cared for. We came home to a very tidy house, but most importantly, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly in excellent hands. We felt completely at ease while we were away. We were so pleased that we’ve already booked Michael again for another trip. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Michael Bannigan for your pet sitting needs. He is responsible and trustworthy, both in the home, and with your fur babies. He’s patient and attentive, so dogs absolutely love him! He’s also big and strong enough to manage a large dog, but gentle and kind hearted toward them. Michael always shows up on time, and your dog will quickly grow to look forward to his visits! Whether you need someone to come by regularly or to stay at your home to care for your furry friend while you’re away, and you can count on Michael Bannigan.

Michael did an amazing job with my two dogs. One can be reactive. He easily earned Troopers trust and they had fun together. Michael is responsible, reliable, fun and I would use him again for doggie care in a heartbeat.

Michael is a wonderful pet sitter! He loves animals and bonds with them quickly, especially dogs. We have left our 4 yr old German Shepherd rescue dog Max with him for as long as 2 weeks and Max had a great time in a safe environment. We asked Michael to walk him regularly and to take him to the local dog park which he happily did. Max is on a strict diet with a sensitive stomach but we never worry about that when he's with Michael. I highly recommend Michael!
