Michael and his family were great! He provided updates all throughout the day. He really got to truly understand Ziggy, his needs, his quirks in such a short amount of time. He also followed his schedule to a tee! I felt super comfortable with him watching Ziggy and would definitely recommend.

Michael is such an amazing dog sitter! Frankie was in heaven on his vacation with Michael and his family because he was able to play fetch essentially the entire time! I got plenty of updates and Frankie was comfortable and made to feel right at home. Frankie is also dog reactive and has special walking/care needs because of that. Michael was super accommodating and understanding of this. I highly recommend Michael!

Michael and his family were amazing hosts for Kaia again. They adored her and sent many updates. Definitely would recommend him for boarding your pup!

We left our 80-lb golden doodle Leo with Michael for an extended weekend. It was clear from our initial meet-and-greet a few weeks prior that Michael is very knowledgeable about dogs and cares a great deal for them as well. When it came to the time to leave Leo with someone else overnight for the very first time, we were very assured that he was in good hands. Michael communicates extraordinarily well. He took the time to find out Leo’s routines, feeding schedule, and his do’s and don’ts. He also shared some of his own philosophy about dog care. One example is that Michael will generally lead your dog away from other dogs while they are out and about to avoid any kind of negative interaction or possible danger. Leo has a host of medical issues. Michael was interested in learning about it and easily adapted to caring for him properly. If there was something Michael did not know or wanted clarification, he would text us to find out rather than guess. Michael was also very proactive in giving us updates on how Leo was doing with pictures and videos. It was clear that Leo was comfortable and adapting a little too well. We were worried that Leo might not want to come home! Michael’s updates were also entertaining and had us rolling. Michael’s home is well suited for dogs of all types. He has a yard large enough for Leo to run around in. He also had boat loads of supplies, from crates and beds to harnesses and leads to toys and treats. Michael even had special treats which helped make administering Leo’s medications a snap. Overall, we were super happy with Leo’s experience with Michael. If we could, we would give Michael a Rover rating of 6 stars out of 5! We will definitely reach out to him again for our puppysitting needs.

Michael really went above and beyond! He was an incredible and gave me such peace of mind leaving my anxious dog with him. Even when it took her a while to settle in he was incredibly patient, communicative and kind. Thank you so much to Michael, Lucy and Nancy for everything

Michael and his family were one of the best hosts we’ve had for Kaia in the Boston area. They were very accommodating to her needs, sent plenty of daily updates with many photos and videos. Michael is very experienced with taking care of all kinds of dogs, so we felt at ease leaving Kaia in his care. We would 100% book him again for the next stay.
