Mike always takes such great care of our pup, Rip. Rip can be reactive and high maintenance at times, but Mike handles him so well with patience and care. He makes sure Rip gets plenty of exercise with long walks and endless games of fetch. Rip absolutely loves his time with him!

Mike was awesome. He kept us updated on our fur babies. Also lots of photos. He was very understanding when we ended up being late to pick up our pets due to a family emergency out of town.

Mike was a fantastic sitter for Magnet and Marlow. He was reliable, flexible, attentive and caring. He provided us with detailed updates throughout the day with many pictures. My dogs were happy and well-cared for, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services.

Mike was absolutely amazing with our dog Rip! Rip can be a challenge because he's timid and reactive and needs someone who understands how to handle him with patience and care. Mike went above and beyond, taking him on long walks every day and keeping me constantly updated with detailed messages and lots of great photos. It was clear Rip was at ease and having a great time. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!
