Those reviews are a testament to my commitment to delivering reliable and loving care for all animals. My approach to pet sitting is simple: I treat your pets as if they were my own. This means plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. I'll go the extra mile to ensure their comfort, happiness, and well-being while you're away. I believe in open and clear communication with my clients. You can count on timely updates and photos to give you peace of mind, knowing that your fur babies are in good hands.

Michael took such great care of our pups and our home. He provided regular pupdates and made us feel sure our pups were taken care of and loved. The pups accepted him as family right away. Thank you, Michael!

I had such a great experience booking Michael to dog sit my 3yr German Shepherd Moondog at my apartment. Michael cared for my dog perfectly, sent frequent updates, kept my apartment clean, and was super friendly. Michael will definitely be my first choice for dog sitting in the future. Thanks Michael!

I enjoyed having Michael take care of my pet Yoda. With the pictures that he sent me I know that Yoda was a happy camper. I’m glad to have scheduled a one night trial, just didn’t know how Yoda would handle it. So happy that everything went well. THANK YOU Michael. Carol R.
