have known Michael for about 12 years. He is very attentive to his Dachshund Hildy and two Siamese cats Austen and Jasper. When I visited over a long weekend, Hildy was my constant companion! He made sure she was a well socialized dog who is crate trained. While I am allergic to cats, Michael’s were well taken care and they were very friendly cats. After a long wait between pets, Michael did his research and knew exactly what he wanted. He carefully located cat and dog breeders with healthy, well bred, home raised animals. He made sure proper health testing was done. Hildy had obedience training while she was young, and then Michael ensured that she was exhibited in dog shows and finished her AKC Championship. Michael is a responsible pet owner and your pets would be in good hands!

Michael is a loving, compassionate, and responsible animal caregiver. He has a natural ability to connect with dogs and treats every pet with patience, kindness, and genuine care. I would trust Michael completely to care for my dogs and provide them with the attention, love, and comfort they deserve.

Michael has been a good neighbor and friend so i have watched how well he cares for, and takes care of, animals-He even has a finished champion dog. He is also well versed in training in-home pets. He makes sure that all needs are met even if an owner forgets to mention something to him. He will always reach out to the owner for additional instructions if necessary. He pays close attention to his surroundings to make sure that both he and the pets are safe and sound.

Michael has been great watching my dog for the last couple months as I work on an internship over the summer. He has been essential in my ability to get all of my work done on time and he has gone above and beyond every single day to make my and my dog's life easier. He not only did everything she needed to be happy and healthy, but he also helped around the apartment I've been staying in, cleaning and organizing. He's stayed more than he needed to every day he's come by and my dog is much happier because of it.
