Michael was a terrific pet sitter. He gave Phoebe so much loving attention, I think she was sad to see him leave. And he took great care of the house

Michael was a great sitter! He communicated well, and our kitty was calm and relaxed when we got back, and all our plants were alive and well. Thank you

Michael took great care of my cat while I was away. He was reliable and communicative throughout the sit, so I felt assured and comfortable that my kitty was

Michael was reliable and took good care of my dogs! He sent pictures and let me know how things were going each day.

Michael looked after Nancy’s home

I wish I were housesitting myself somewhere, but my house is on the market and I had to go visit family out of state. Michael kept the house in "can be shown right now" condition while I was away so my realtor and I had nothing to worry about. I came back to a spotless house, happy houseplants, and fresh sheets on the bed. I've known Michael for 2 decades and he's as fabulous as his profile makes him seem. Great with humans and animals (not that I have any pets right now) and he's a former longtime homeowner, so I knew he could handle any emergencies that might arise. He also plays a mean guitar and smiles like a sunny day. 5 stars all around.

Why I want to house sit

I'm a full grown responsible adult with a playful nature, capable of giving the best care your pets deserve! Also, after living in the midwest most of my life, I'm also looking for new places to explore and possibly find somewhere I'll want
