Mike has watched my girl Frankie multiple times over the years. He is always super responsive and sends a bunch of photos throughout his stay. Bonus points that he leaves my place spotless as well!

Michael is a very reliable and communicative.. He responds right away when I reach out which often times last minute as I travel with my position. My dog is excited to see him which speaks volumes.. Michael is also very neat and clean and leaves my house just the way I left it..

I went through so many dog sitters trying to find one that could handle my energetic 2yr old Pomeranian. Michael was the last one before I gave up all together, and what a blessing he turned out to be! He went above and beyond with Charlie, even going as far as buying her favorite treats to surprise her during their playtimes. I've yet to find someone half as good since he left DC.

We used Mike off and on for years while he lived in DC. Our dog, Maddie, was older and we were always hesitant to leave her alone. We had no choice but to find a dog sitter for a few weeks when my MIL became ill, and Mike seemed like a great fit. We couldn't have been more fortunate! Maddie took to him immediately, and he became her consistent companion from everything for a walk a few times a week to stays as long as two weeks. We can't recommend Mike enough!
