Amazing and trustworthy as always. Mike took great care of my dog over the weekend and constantly sent me picture updates to make me feel comfortable through the entire time. It’s not easy leaving my dog behind on a trip but it makes it much less stressful knowing he’s in good hands.

Michael has been an absolutely incredible sitter, and I truly cannot recommend him enough. He is consistently dependable, trustworthy, and treats my dog as if he were his own. One thing I really appreciate is how respectful he is of my routines and rules. He always follows them exactly, which gives me total peace of mind. My dog has arthritis, and Michael goes above and beyond to accommodate his needs. He knows when to adjust walks, when to take it easy, and always stays on top of his medication. It’s clear he’s not just “watching” him, he’s genuinely caring for him. I’ve trusted Michael for both daytime care while I’m at work and overnight stays (both at my home and his), and every experience has been seamless. I always know my dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. 1000/10—couldn’t recommend him more. I would trust Michael with any dog without hesitation.

I’ve known Mike for over 15 years, and he’s always the first one to greet / play with any pet that’s at the function. He loves animals, and they love him! Your furry friend will be in great hands with Mike.

It's both easy and an honor to write a testimonial for Michael for Rover. I have known Michael since he was two years old, for starters. I also know firsthand he is a wonderful, respectful young man!! Besides being a great neighbor to my wife, daughter, and me, Michael has been a friend and companion of at least four of our dogs and one cat. Our current dog Ellie (now 11 years old) adores him because Michael spent quality time playing with her as a puppy and young dog, teaching her to retrieve lacrosse balls and showing her how to follow his instructions carefully. I wish he still lived near us because we would have him watch Ellie when we travel! I give Michael my highest recommendation for Rover not only because he is good with dogs, he is also a fine, trustworthy young man. You can be confident that you and your treasured dogs (and cats!!) are in excellent hands with Michael!!

Safety, trust & environment

Patience with your animals is my key to success. Every animal takes time to adjust to different circumstances. I was raised to leave places better than how I found them if I am responsible for your animal in your home.
