House Sitting • Aug 12, 2025

Michael is a wonderful dog sitter! He stayed at our home for 3 nights, and took great care of our 3 pups. We received multiple updates with photos daily. We will absolutely ask Michael to dog sit for us again.

Drop-In Visits • Jul 31, 2025

Michael took care of our dog for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. We had him do drop in visits twice a day and he was amazing. He also watered our outdoor plants and did anything else we asked! He was responsible and very caring. Our dog absolutely loves him! We will call on him every time we go away. Thank you, Michael, for taking such good care of "our girl"!

Boarding • May 12, 2024

My usual upstate sitter was unavailable this week, and I decided to give Michael a try (in large part because of his extremely affordable rate). Super excited to be the first reviewer and say that Homer and I had a great experience! Michael was responsible, honest, attentive, and exactly the right amount of communicative. He invited me to check out the space when I dropped off my doggo, so I could see where Homer would be sleeping and hanging out for three nights. Homer clearly had a blast with him, made friends with his dog Wonka and with the Rottie next door, and got to go to parks and chase sticks (he is used to being off-leash and has a Fi GPS collar, which we talked about in advance). He was happy and tired when I picked him up. My dog is 7 years old and hates to be alone, so believe me, I’ve parked him with a lot of Rover sitters over the years. Michael made an awesome first impression, even compared to more established sitters. We’ll definitely be back. Book him before his rates go up! 🙂
