I travel a lot on business, and therefore am a heavy user of dog walking services. Michael not only walked my Great Pyrenees, Babette, but also provided dog sitting services when I was away on frequent business trips.

At one point, I was away on a trip when Babette got very sick - turned out to be an ailment that sometimes afflicts Great Pyrenees intestines - and Michael got her to the hospital, and provided almost hourly medical reports until I could rush back from my trip.

I would recommend him whole-heartedly to any pet owner.

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 :)

Michael has my highest recommendation as a dog walker and a person. He is very conscientious, he has a real way with animals and he showed a very steady hand in dealing with Sandy, my yellow lab/pit - not too strict, not too loose. She really likes him.
