I can’t think of anyone better suited to be a pet sitter or dog walker than Michael S. He has such a natural way with animals—pets are instantly comfortable around him, and he treats them with the same love and care as if they were his own. Michael is responsible, trustworthy, and dependable, which gives me complete peace of mind knowing that pets in his care are safe, happy, and well looked after. What really makes Michael special is the extra attention he gives—whether it’s going on an extra lap around the block for an energetic pup, taking time to play and bond, or making sure pets feel comfortable when their owners are away. He’s patient, kind, and attentive to the little details that matter so much when it comes to caring for animals. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and genuinely loves animals, Michael is the one. Your pets will absolutely adore him, and you’ll be glad you chose him to care for them.

Michael helped us a lot. We have a 9 year old cat (Nara) that doesn't like strangers that much. She's quite heavy. Before we left we were concerned since She's been having some digesting issues, hench we gave Michael the instructions for her digestive pro biotic. Michael did a wonderful job ! We came back to a healthy! happy! cat that didn't seem to miss us at all ! (I'm a little offended but happy at the same time) Thank you Michael we highly recommend him! P.s Michael contacted us when we were away and took our dear nara to the vet during some concerning sounds after she ate. Fortunately it was a false alarm but we can't praise him enough for that!

Michael is a phenomenal caretaker of animals. Michael’s dedication, compassion, and love shows through the way he cares for animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and species. He has owned many dogs throughout his life, including a special needs dachshund. He rehabilitated his doxie by teaching him how to walk after a catastrophic injury, cared for him as if he were a child (changing diapers, special feedings, bladder expression, etc.), and loved him to the stars and back. Michael has also shown equal care and quality supervision to others’ animals, inclusive of cats. On multiple occasions he has supervised my cats while I was traveling (even during their kitten phase iykyk). He cares for them as if they were his own, going out of his way to purchase toys and treats for them that he thought they’d enjoy. I would trust Michael to take care of any of my animals, and will continue to solicit his supervision as I know my animals will be loved and cared for (and equally love him back in return).

Mikey(Michael) has done a phenomenal job taking care of our little maltese, Robe, both short term and long term. Although Robe does get along with most people, Mikey really went out of his way to build rapport while making him feel like home- and the excitement he has is really touching. We also appreciate how flexible he can be with his availability. He is accommodating, down to earth, professional, personable, and all around a great pet sitter. 10/10 would recommend!
