House Sitting • May 29, 2026

Michael was an exceptional pet and house sitter. He took wonderful care of our two dogs and our home while we were away for five nights. From the beginning, he was kind, professional, and genuinely caring. Throughout our trip, Michael provided regular updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. It was clear from every message that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of attention and affection. He also took excellent care of our home, and everything was exactly as we left it when we returned. We could tell our dogs were well loved and cared for while we were away. Finding someone you can trust with both your pets and your home is invaluable, and Michael exceeded our expectations in every way. We would not hesitate to book with Michael again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive pet sitter.

Michael took care of our dog, Kevi over a 3-day weekend trip. He was very professional and it was obvious he cares about animals. Kevi bonded with him immediately. Michael sent us updates and photos every day so we knew he was in capable hands and we could enjoy our trip. I can highly recommend Michael!

We've been thrilled to have found Michael here to care for our - [extremely energetic] pup! From the moment we met him for the Meet & Greet, we could tell he was well-experienced, and Nala took to him right away. He started caring for Nala over the holidays, and we are happy to have him as our go-to sitter whenever we need it now.

What a great experience for our first walk! Michael was professional, communicative, and clearly loves dogs — my Dylan was wagging his tail the whole time in the photos he shared. Already feeling confident leaving him in his care next time!
