I really appreciated Michael’s prompt and consistent care our dog, Hummer. Michael had a way with Hummer, a McNab Border Collie. Hummer would always wait at the door wagging her tail when she heard Michael coming to walk her.

I never had to worry about whether he would show up or follow our instructions. I recommend him without reservation.

Michael was the pet sitter for our cat, Lucy. Lucy can be very high maintenance, but Michael did a great job with her whenever we went out of town. We’d recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible pet sitter for their cat.

To us, our Golden Doodle Talullah is "a person in a fur suit".  I never thought I would say that about a dog, but we love her just like our human child, a member of our family.  When we moved further uptown, we had to find a dog walker that would treat her just as we do.  Michael is just that.  He is competent and responsible; we never worry about her with him. I highly recommend Wags West!

Thanks again for everything.  You are great with the girls - I don't know what we would do without you!  They may have grass and a back yard down south, but they will not get the pleasure of having their own personal walker :)

My name is Abby and I've been using Wags West for some time now. They walk my three year-old Pug Beni, and I have to say they are truly amazing. They are not only reliable and professional- but warm and caring too. Michael has become a friend to not just me and my dog, but to my family! I am a single mother of a two year-old and care for my elderly father, and it's very hard for me to walk my dog as often as I like. Michael helps me by taking my Beni out several times a week. He is honest, kind, reliable and responsible and shows he cares very much for Beni. I love my dog very much and feel he deserves the best. Wags West provides just that. I will recommend them to all pet owners, always! They truly are wonderful! Thank you Michael!

I don't think I could have found more dependable, friendly or flexible people to help with my dog than the folks at Wags West.  I have a difficult work schedule and an equally difficult, young dog. They handle both with consistent care and patience. Cooper is always well exercised, properly fed and kept in good company for the time I'm at work or away on a business trip. Plus, my apartment never looks as if anyone was ever there. You won't find better pet help in the city.

I am someone who is extremely neurotic about the care my dog gets and Michael is the only person I will trust to walk my dog.  Not only is he responsible, but he really goes the extra mile in his care and takes the time to make both owner and dog feel great about his services.

It has been great working with Wags West!  It is clear that you love your work and are really good at it. Seeing how joyful my dog Tess is every time Michael and her walking partner(s) arrive is such a wonderful thing.

We met Michael seredipitously though common clients, and we liked him immediately. He's articulate, educated, experienced and honest. We've spoken to many of his clients and they rave about him and the services he provides. This is not the sort of dog walking service you're used to. There are no "thirty dogs and a walker"... you've seen them around the Upper West Side.  They walk no more than three dogs at a time, and offer individual dog walks as well.

My cat Theo loves her visits from Wags West and I love getting the daily emails - and pictures - on how she's doing.
