Michael is great with my pup Dennis, very communicative around how he did, and always on time. I will be using him again!

Michael was awesome! This was the first time we had our 2 dogs with a pet sitter as we always take them with us wherever we go on vacation. Our dogs are not easy, they bark to everybody and a couple of pet sitters who came for the meet & greet, just left afraid that our dogs would bite them after our dogs non-stop barking. Michael, instead, approached our dogs while they were barking and managed to calm them down pretty quick and our dogs immediately liked him. Michael has a thing for dogs that makes them warm up with him quickly. We were a bit anxious about being away for 8 days as we didn’t know how our dogs would behave and feel but our anxiety vanished soon with Michael’s frequent updates, including a picture of our dogs cuddling with him on the sofa. Michael took them for walks including a long one every day and spoiled them with patting and treats. He also worked on teaching them to use the doggy door. Michael even tidied up the house spaces where he spent time with the dogs as they shed. We had peace of mind during our vacations knowing that our ‘babies’ (not really babies, they are two and a half and four years old, one is a mixed chihuahua and the other a mixed Labrador retriever, both adopted one and a half and one year ago, respectively) were in pretty good, kind and caring hands. When we came back we could see that our dogs had been well taken care of and had been happy with him. I think that our dogs will now miss him! We couldn’t be more happy than we are with Michael and we will definitely get him to take care of our dogs whenever we will need a pet sitter, he is excellent!

Michael is a fantastic pet caregiver with a true gift for working with dogs, especially large breeds like my Irish Setter. He’s been instrumental in helping me train my dog not to pull on walks, using calm and consistent techniques that have made a huge difference. My dog now walks with Michael twice a day and enjoys plenty of off-leash time running freely in his spacious backyard. I trust Michael completely—he’s reliable, loving, and truly understands dogs.

Mike has dog sat for my dogs over the years. He has always been very responsible for their health, safety and happiness. Walks and lots of scratches and words of affection to them. Also, he has dog sat for many other dogs in my home and I’ve seen firsthand how much he cares for those dogs and how they connect with him.

I highly recommend Michael as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. He took wonderful care of my French bulldog, Stella, often walking her and showing incredible patience. I trusted him enough to take Stella to his home during my overnight trips. We've utilized his services for years, always with great satisfaction! ~Elena
