Mike is an awesome cat sitter. He took great care of my little one and sent lots of photos!

Michael Mantonya has been dog sitting for our baby boy Ryder for the last three years. Ryder is a Husky, so he’s got TONS of energy. He’s also a rescue dog who suffers from severe separation anxiety. Michael could not be a more perfect caretaker for our dog. Ryder is is always thrilled to see him and cannot wait to jump all over him the minute he walks in the door and howl his hellos. We trust Michael with Ryder implicitly because we see how gently and patiently he treats him. He’s great with Ryder on the leash, too, as Ryder can sometimes be headstrong and try to chase down every squirrel in the neighborhood. We feel confident that Michael is alert and attentive and strong enough to keep him under control. It’s also apparent that he just loves dogs and animals in general. While we’re gone, Michael will send us fun/cute pictures of Ryder and give us updates so we can know how things are going. We recommend him to other friends with pets all the time (he also watches cats) and would continue to do so!
