“Michael was an amazing surrogate while I was away for work. He walked, played with and generally loved my Paco and that’s exactly what I wanted. Michael does not disappoint. It was a comfort to me and alleviated any concerns so that I was able to function and focus on my work without any worries about my best pet-friend. I highly recommend Michael and will definitely call him should I need such a service again. I can’t say enough good about him! He also sent pictures twice a day which were the highlight of my day. Thanks and very big kudos to Michael!”
