We are extremely livid with Michael’s care of our dogs. We arrived home from the airport shortly after Michael had left and let one of our dogs out of the crate to him limping and barely able to put any weight on his front paw. There was a large gash so I immediately took him to the urgent care vet who let me know the cut had to have been at least TWO DAYS old because of how it had tried to heal, was not actively bleeding, and developed a deep pocket of infection. Michael’s response to what could have possibly happened? “I don’t know and I didn’t notice I’m sorry rover will pay for it.” I understand accidents happen, they are dogs, but to be so negligent- how do you not notice a dog barely able to walk and in pain, for DAYS. Michael should not be caring for dogs.

Michael was lovely with our pets! He has a very chill, calming presence and we came home to a clean house and happy critters.
