Michael took excellent care of Branch! He communicated with us great and sent adorable pictures and updates on Branch that made us feel better about the long time away from our sweet pup and brought lots of joy to our day seeing his cute face! We feel great knowing Branch was so well loved by Michael! He also took excellent care of our home, when we arrived home all was clean and tidy and very well cared for. Thank you so much Michael for spending time and taking care of and loving Branch while we were away!

Michael took great care of Penny! He came over for a meet and greet ahead of our trip. He sent photos and updates on her while we were gone and worked from home so she was not alone. We were very happy and would recommend Michael to others!!

Michael was great with Archie! Plenty of photo updates and handled his food/meds/walk routines like a pro. Would highly recommend Michael especially for anyone with a Doodle.

I would like to know the energy level of the dog. As well as the eating schedule. It is also nice to know any special/specific training and commands they know.
