Mike did an excellent job caring for my two small dogs, Chloe and Daphne, at my house, from September 3-10, 2026. Chloe has a problem of incontinence or leakage, which is an added challenge, and I was most grateful that Mike was willing to accept this challenge when I explained the situation to him. He did his best managing this difficult situation. From the photos that he texted me daily I could see that the dogs were very comfortable and happy with him, and that he also spent quality time being with them, sitting and snuggling with them. I had left plenty of boxes of Happy Howl for them, but also just 5 home-made frozen chicken and rice meals, as I had only had time to make that number. On the 6th day he himself made them a chicken and rice meal with his own chicken, which was more than I expected. He also took them out for daily walks. And I appreciated that he brought my mail in, and even opened up the box of the new microwave which was supposed to arrive before my departure, and set it up in my kitchen - as I had asked him if he could do for me. When I arrived back home I found everything in order and two happy dogs to greet me. I myself could not be happier with Mike’s assured care of my two doggies, and it meant that I could go on this important trip without worrying about them. Thanks a million, Mike!

Mike is so great with my pups! He is so kind and even brings our mail inside. He does a great job with my babies. I recommend him!

Mike was incredible! I knew from our meet in greet I found the perfect fit. My 2 80lb dogs are not the easiest to walk and he was able to handle them with no problem. This let me relax on my vacation knowing that my boys were in good hands. I have found my dog sitter! Already rebooked.

We have used Mike several times now, and have always had a five star experience. I highly recommend him. Not only did he take such good care of my two pups, he made sure our mail and packages were brought in and took our trash out on pick up day. Lots of pics to show how much fun the dogs were having and always replies quickly when I had a question. Again, highly recommend him to watch your home and your fur babies! We are already booking him for our next trip in October.

This is the second time we used Mike, and again I am more than happy with the job he did. We have two dogs, one with a seizure disorder that requires medicine twice a day. Mike not only takes amazing care of our babies, but he goes above and beyond. He takes care of the mail, brings in packages, takes the trash out on trash day, and even brought them a special toy. He is very quick to respond to any text and sends us pictures and updates often. I strongly recommend Mike to look after anyone’s pets. We will be using him again!
