I'm going to echo many of the reviews here and recommend Michael unequivocally. He is relaxed, reliable and I know my senior miniature-pinscher is in good hands whether Michael's taking the dog for a walk or an overnight. Michael's been a godsend as I transition into a new job with demanding hours - it means a lot to know that I can trust Michael to pick up and drop off the dog, and that there are no security issues with coming into the house and locking up. Michael is one of those guys that helps dogs chill out just by showing up - I wish I had his gift!
