I left my baby girl Dixie with Michael for just over a week while I took a personal vacation out of state. He was absolutely amazing about communicating with me every day and sent me a bunch of pictures. Dixie really enjoys playing outside so Michael took her on walks down the trails and took her down to the beach and she had a blast. My fur baby suffers from thunderstorm anxiety too and while I was gone there were a handful of storms that came through. She gets very freaked out but Michael was great about checking on her to make sure she felt comfortable and secure until the storms passed. I highly recommend him and if I take a vacation again he will be my first choice to watch Dixie.
