I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear he genuinely to a liking to my Beethoven. He kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me a peace of mind. Michael went above and beyond to make sure my Beethoven was well taken care of. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable sitter.

Michael was fantastic! He sent updates and was willing to help out around the house with our pool and everything. I would definitely use him again!

Michael went above and beyond for our fur kids! Very detailed oriented and we felt that they were so safe with him. Our one dog is special needs and he treated her with such care. We are a bit anxious leaving and he kept up with such great communication and consistent pictures. Each picture just showed how much and how quickly they fell in love with him.

Michael was fabulous with the pups! Our high energy dog immediately took to him, and he was super comfortable handling her. He was thorough and communicative, and a really nice person. 10/10!
