Michael was a great dog sitter. Trying to find someone to watch your animal last minute, especially when you're traveling outside the country can be very stressful. But luckily, Michael was very affable and accommodating, and I was able to feel relaxed and comfortable knowing that my dog was in good hands. He was kind enough to go out of his way to pick up my dog from my house, when I was unable to drop her off. Michael constantly communicated with me, sending me messages and photos with updates on my dog. She's a very energetic dog, so he exercised her constantly...taking her on long walks, especially to the beach (which she loves going to). He gave her lots of affection and let her cuddle in the bed. She was also welcomed warmly by Michael's mom and his own dog. All three of them basically treated her as part of the family. When I returned from my trip and came to pick her up, I could see how comfortable she felt with Michael in his house, and knew she had enjoyed a positive stay with him. She definitely got spoiled with lots of TLC and almost seemed reluctant to come back home with me. I'm sure she looks forward to seeing her new friends again. I plan to use Michael again in the future and would recommend him to others.

This is the first time in 9 years we have left our great dane with anyone. Michael treated our dog like his own. It was more like a vacation for our dog too than having a stranger care for him. He sent us pictures and regular updates. Thank you so much for making us feel comfortable.
