“A huge THANK YOU to Michael, his mom, and Mayzie for taking such good care of our puppy for the day. Michael’s communication was great from the time of booking, through the entire day (he sent lots of photos and texts), until the end of the booking. He even took our pup on a couple of short walks, which was super nice of him. We could tell from the photos Michael sent us that our puppy was having so much fun and plenty of play time. We would definitely recommend Michael and hope to use him again.”
