This testimonial is for my former roommate Michael T. My name is Matthew D. I was one of two roommates with Mike Troy living in Brooklyn, New York from 2015-2020. I moved home in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In that span of 5 years, Michael was walking many dogs and occasionally house sitting/dog sitting while clients were out of town. I know he has continued to walk dogs and house sit/dog sit up until this point. He has been a dog walker/sitter for roughly 8 years. While we were living together, Michael was a fantastic roommate. Hey was clean, organized and would always pay bills and his portion of the rent on time. Michael was always very honest and upfront whenever there was an issue in the apartment. This made it easy to find a solution. Overall, the 5-year period as roommates with Michael was very enjoyable and I think his character as a roommate carries over into his work as a dog walker. Every now and then I would see Michael on the street walking a dog and he really seemed very patience and aware of what the dog needed. There was a trust that you only see in people who spend a lot of time with dogs. I remember him getting more and more clients very quickly, I’m sensing because he did a good job, was reliable and trustworthy. Michael is an all around good person. When you speak with him, you can tell he is very real and goodhearted. He is a refreshing person to be around and I’m assuming it’s refreshing for the dogs he walks too. Best, -Matthew D.
