Michael was great with our dog Rosie for a weekend stay. He sent lots of photos and video updates and communication was easy. Rosie came home happy and tired from lots of playing. Would definitely book again!

We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received from Michael! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we always knew how he was doing thanks to the frequent updates, photos, and videos. It was so reassuring to see him having such a great time while we were away. They were always punctual, dependable, and treated our dog as if he were one of their own. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and reliable dog sitter!

Michael and Susan provided a wonderful home away from home for my older special needs pup. My Buddy is a sweetheart but he is 12 years old, blind and has diabetes. So he requires twice daily insulin injections. My usual Rover sitter cancelled a week before Buddy's 4th of July stay because of an urgent family matter, so I was a bit panicked about finding last minute holiday care for my special needs fur baby! Thankfully, even tho Michael had other pups booked, he came to the rescue! He scheduled a meet and greet, and Buddy made himself right at home in his lovely spacious back yard! Mike and his wife, Susan, were very hospitable, and Mike shared his experience giving dogs their medication by injection, so I felt confident leaving Buddy in his care. He sent me lots of smiling photos of Buddy 😂 (and his adorable canine housemates!) and a couple of fun videos which reassured me Buddy was in good hands and receiving lots of TLC!! Many thanks Mike and Susan and looking forward to booking another visit for Buddy soon❣️

Michael and Susan took wonderful care of Cosmo during his 4-day stay! They sent regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Just a couple of days before his stay, Cosmo had an injury and needed to wear a cone and take antibiotics. Michael and Susan were incredibly accommodating and made sure he got the care and medication he needed without any hesitation. It was clear that Cosmo was well cared for and in great hands. We truly appreciated their kindness, communication, and attention to his needs. We would absolutely trust them with Cosmo again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable pet sitters!

I am so, so grateful that my dog Yardie was with Michael when our 4-day trip unexpectedly changed into a 10-day one! Michael rolled with the changes with aplomb, and I knew that Yardie was safe and well cared for. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter!
