Mike was amazing with our dog! Copper had an amazing time and it was a really smooth transition back home for him which isn't always the case based on his separation anxiety. The daily pictures Mike sent were really reassuring and Copper had a great time on his walks in the neighborhood! We will definitely have Copper stay with Mike the next time we're out of town!

Michael did a great job with my high maintenance pup! He kept me updated and even brought her on a long hike over the weekend. Couldn’t be happier with how her stay went!

I cannot say enough good things about our puppy’s stay with Michael. Nala was friends with him the very moment they met. She was excited to see him when I dropped her off for her stay. She had some of her favorite toys and treats to make her feel at home, but that would not have mattered. Michael took her for walks and sent us lots of pictures of the fun she was having while there. We were very comfortable leaving her there, and were also extremely pleased with how happy she was when we picked her up. I do believe Michael may be a puppy whisperer too though. She was difficult to walk on her leash before we left her, but she walks perfectly now. We will be booking Michael again in the future when we need to be away from home. We highly recommend him as your pup’s home away from home!

Everything about Lola’s stay with Michael from start to finish was absolutely fantastic! He was extremely communicative starting from when I requested the dates to when I picked her up. I could tell Lola had great exercise during her stay and slept so well the night she came home. Michael was also great with updates and made me feel confident my pup was fine while I was away! I definitely plan on being a repeat client!

I was extremely pleased with our communication, both via messaging as well as in person. Mike is extremely polite and attentive. He kept me updated with pictures of Paisley while I was away. I will definitely use his care again. He’s got a 5 ⭐️ rating from me!

Mike took great care of Sansa, sent pictures and even let Sansa sleep in the bed. I could tell Sansa got exercise, because she was tired when she came home. :-). Sansa cannot wait until the next time I go away :-).

Michael was wonderful with our two dogs Little Bear and Layla. They are on a lot of medications and can be a handful and Micheal was diligent, caring and very kind. Because they are rescues and it was the first time they were separated from us we were worried, but Micheal took great care of them and they were very happy. I would highly recommend Micheal as a dog walker or for sitting with your dog for a longer period of time if you’re going away. We will definitely use him again. He’s a great guy nice, sweet and kind and loves our fur babies. Brigid And Louie Guglielmetti

Michael was wonderful from the start. We spoke on the phone before the drop-off and I immediately got a very positive and trustworthy vibe from him so I felt completely at ease about leaving our pooch with him. When I met them at their house, he and his girlfriend were warm, friendly, and instantly connected with our dog. They have a very clean, nice home, which is not always the case with dog sitters. Throughout the week-long stay, they sent photos, maintained communication with me and generally did a fantastic job. They were even super flexible about the pick-up day when we needed to extend it. I highlight recommend them!

Mike and Kate were great with our Cleo. They went out of their way to assure she was comfortable and happy and she was! Great communication, very conscientious and attentive caregivers. We'll definitely seek them out again when next we need a dog sitter.

Mike and Kate were awesome with Bonnie and kept us well informed during her stay with updates and photos. Mike was always very responsive and maintained excellent communication with us. Both Mike and Kate are very personable and I know they took great care of Bonnie as if she were their own dog. Will be booking with Mike and Kate again!

Michael and Kate watched my basset hound for 9 days. They sent pictures everyday, they kept me informed , delivered her medicine daily, played with her, walked her and treated her like she was her own. I cannot say enough about them and anyone looking to use Rover look no further

Mike (and his girlfriend Kate) were wonderful with my dog. She spent 2 nights, came home tired and happy! Mike was very easy to communicate with and sent plenty of pictures during the stay. I would have no hesitation to have him watch our girl again any time!

Michael was everything we could have asked for in a Rover walker. He was flexible, prompt, knowledgeable and accommodating and our pup really liked him. He's the kind of walker you hope for and we will most certainly use him again.

I highly recommend using Michael for your dog sitting needs. Michael watched our dog Toby for 4 days. On our first visit, Michael was very thorough in asking important questions on Toby's health, behaviors, likes and dislikes. Throughout Toby's stay, he kept us informed of his well being with texts and pictures. It was so nice to see Toby having such a wonderful time!! Michael was sure to take him for long walks and even practiced and reinforced basic commands with him! He made sure Toby had his favorite toys and cozy places to sleep. He gave Toby lots of TLC while we were away! We were grateful to come home to a very happy doggy. Hayley W.

Michael took wonderful care of our fur ball. He felt right at home, had to wake Scruffy up when I got there he was so comfy on his doggy bed. Michael also kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout the days. Highly recommended!!

Michael and his girlfriend took great care of Hazel!!!! I was nervous to leave Hazel and had never used Rover before. What a great find! They are very kind. Total dog people. They sent pictures of her throughout her weekend with them. They were diligent about finding out her eating schedule and preferences. Hazel came home calm and happy. It’s worth every penny to know a furry family member is being warmly attended to and in good, responsible, competent, dog-friendly hands. Hazel is okay with other dogs but not that nice to small dogs and it was such a plus for a dog-sitter to not have his own animals. That was an extra plus for us, that Hazel had all the attention and run of the house. So great to be greeted by a happy not-stressed dog who had a nice weekend in a family environment. She was even allowed on the bed!!! That’s saying a lot because she’s a total bed hog. :-) Highly reccommend Michael!!!!! :-)
