Is your dog your best friend? Is your dog more than just a pet but a member of the family? Would you do ANYTHING for your fury angel? Yes yes yes a 100 times yes!? If you have owned a dog then they become your entire world.. iykyk. Hi my name is Michael, I have had the privilege of owning multiple dogs and cats throughout my life. My priority was always making sure they felt included and loved. I know it’s difficult to balance work and time with your dog so that’s where I come in! I’d love to pop in and give them attention/breaks/treats/take them to a nearby park or just go for a familiar walk around the block. I currently have open availability and I am looking forward to help. give me a shout! Thanks - Michael

I am delighted to recommend Michael Dorn as a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter and dog walker. Michael has personally cared for our family's pets, both dogs and cats, and I have seen firsthand the kindness, patience, and genuine affection he brings to animals. Michael understands that pets are important members of the family and treats them with the love, attention, and respect they deserve. He is responsible, attentive to their individual needs, and committed to providing a safe and comfortable environment. Beyond his love for animals, Michael is a thoughtful, reliable, and caring person who takes pride in doing things well. His friendly personality, strong sense of responsibility, and willingness to go the extra mile make him someone you can trust. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael to anyone looking for exceptional pet care and peace of mind while away from their furry family members.

Good morning. I write this recommendation for Michael Dorn. I have known his family for over 20 years and have observed him taking care of the pets of family, friends, and neighbors and appears to enjoy doing so. He makes a special effort to adjust his care routines to cater to the individual pet in his charge, be it playing with cat toys or taking them for long walks outside. The absence of owners can stress out pets but they always seem to be excited to see Michael. I personally lost my cat 2 weeks ago, but I would not have hesitated to ask him to check in on my cat had I needed to go on a work trip. Michael is a Seattle native, so he is familiar with our city and its neighboring communities and is more than able to provide the care and enrichment for pets of all types that this service asks of its caregivers

He has a heart of gold and loves animals. He would treat your pets like his very own fur babies. He has years of experience with many different pets. If I needed someone to watch my pets I would not hesitate to ask Michael in a minute.

This is a perfect job for Michael. His love of animals has been life long with a variety of animals always present in his home. Michael takes the care and responsibility for their welfare very seriously. He has the "Zen" of a dog and or cat whisperer. His calmness and gentle attitude can be seen in the way animals seem to immediately trust him. Michael is a loving pet caregiver and would be excellent in this position
