What sets me apart from other sitters on here is my character. I believe in honesty, respect, hard work, being the best father I can be to my son, going above & beyond the usual expectations, & being both trustworthy & reliable. Review from most recent experience: To Whom It May Concern: It is our pleasure to highly recommend Michael as a house and pet sitter. Michael has been a valued and trusted caregiver for our three dogs - two senior dogs and our six-month-old Goldendoodle - and we have been extremely pleased with the care he provides. Because of our dogs' different ages and needs, it is very important to us to have someone who is responsible, attentive, patient, and genuinely caring. Michael has consistently demonstrated all of these qualities. When we are away, he stays overnight in our home, makes sure the dogs are let out and cared for throughout the day, and spends extended time outside playing with them and giving them the attention and companionship they need. Michael is also an excellent communicator. He regularly updates us on how the dogs are doing, lets us know about their activities, and sends pictures, which gives us tremendous peace of mind while we are away. Just as importantly, we trust Michael completely with our home. Every time we return, our dogs are happy, relaxed, and well cared for, and our house is left in perfect condition. Michael is reliable, conscientious, and caring, and we feel very fortunate to have him look after our dogs and our home. We recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive house or pet sitter. Sincerely, Mary and Adam Arens.
