Zoey came back happy and tired. Michael sent pictures throughout the day and kept us posted on Zoey’s well-being. Zoey looks forward to the next visit with Michael.

Our French Bulldog Omi, has just spent 2 weeks with Michael. She had the most amazing time. His family enjoyed her too. We are booking Michael for all future dog holidays. We felt really pleased Omi was so happy and well looked after. Thank you Michael and family.

Michael was wonderful with Zoey. He was easy to communicate and coordinate with from the start, and he took the time during our meet and greet to answer all of our questions, show us where the dogs spend their day, and walk us through his routine. Since Zoey is 7 and has had the same regular sitters for years, we were a little nervous about leaving her with someone new, but Michael quickly made us feel comfortable and confident that she would be in great hands. Throughout her daycare stays, Michael sent photos and updates during the day, and Zoey always came home happy and pleasantly tired. The best endorsement was Zoey herself—on a later walk, she was actually pulling us toward Michael’s house! We also had a technical issue with Rover fees, and Michael was very responsive, even over the weekend, and helped get it resolved promptly. We’re very happy we found him and look forward to having Zoey stay with Michael again in the future.
