I cannot recommend Michael highly enough as a pet caregiver. He cared for our beloved senior dog for many years, and I trusted him completely with every aspect of his care. Michael is incredibly reliable, communicative, and attentive to each dog's individual needs. He consistently went above and beyond—from preparing meals and giving supplements to making sure our pup got plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. Whether it was taking him on walks, adventures to the beach/park, or simply spending quiet time cuddling with him, Michael always prioritized our dog’s happiness and well-being. He was a large dog with some unique needs, including being reactive toward other dogs, and Michael handled him with exceptional confidence and care. He was always aware of his surroundings, proactively managed situations to keep everyone safe, and never lost patience. It gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing our dog was with someone who was not only experienced, but also calm, responsible, and capable of handling more challenging situations. One of the things I appreciated most was how observant he was. He noticed subtle changes in behavior, mobility, and comfort level and adjusted his care accordingly. He always communicated well, was consistently punctual and dependable, and treated him as if he were his own family. Any family would be incredibly fortunate to have Michael caring for their pet. I recommend him without hesitation.
