Michael was very punctual, considerate, and great with our cat! Our cat is usually so shy. He hides from everyone and everything. But Michael was able to get him to come out of hiding and interact with him, which was just amazing.

Michael shows up when he says he will; takes pictures; reports accurately about our dog and makes adjustments when asked. We will definitely have Michael watch Livee again if we need someone and if he’s available.

We have a special cat. Picky was found in the front yard as a gunk-filled eyes, flea infested little kitten. He was an anxious little kitten who we thought might have been blind. Although I felt comfortable with Michael, leaving Picky alone for the first time was difficult. Michael knew I would be concerned and updated me. He exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond on a weekend filled with unexpected chaos. I am very thankful for Michael, his professionalism, and his genuine love of animals.

We really appreciate the service we got from Michael. Our PAWsome sitter, Michael took the time to come and meet us before taking care of our Husky, Shasta. We also love that he understands huskies and took the time to understand the rest of our needs and requests for our fur-baby. Shasta is very weary of other people and Michael's availability to meet Shasta so that we could see if she would respond well to him was greatly appreciated. His patience and calm demeanor made it easier to trust him with Shasta. Thank You!!

Michael is a caring sitter who will treat your pet as if they were a human being. Rufus is an important part of our family and it is difficult to leave when Rufus is unfamiliar with his care taker. Rufus is always happy to see Michael when he arrives. We feel comfortable with the service Michael provides and he follows our instruction. He is very organized and will love your pet as if they were his own. The relationships Michael builds with your pet is a unique one. You will feel comfortable and safe knowing your pet is in Michael's care.

I have known Michael for about 10 years of my life and over the years he has owned several animals that he has cared for. He is always a rule follower and does things in a timely manner. He hasn't personally cared for my animals because he lives quite a bit away from me to do so. However, if I ever had to give up my animals or need someone to watch them, he would be the first person I would go to in a heartbeat. He has such a big heart for any and all animals and he cares for them so much. Michael Martinus would make a great pet sitter/dog walker.
