Pet care experience

Pets thrive on individual care.

I have over 25 years of experience working professionally in the animal care field and 10 years as a veterinary assistant in clinics in the Puget Sound area. As a pet owner, I understand the difficulty of finding someone who will care for your pets and respect your home. My clients can rest assure that they will be provided the highest degree of professionalism and heartfelt care for their four-legged family members. All pets are unique and deserve undivided attention! I am available 7 days a week, evenings and weekends. I look forward to meeting you!

Michael was amazing! He was great with our cats and was so easy to work with! He also went above and beyond with bringing in our packages as well and offered to grab our mail for us. Thanks Michael! We will definitely book with you again!

Dog Walking • May 30, 2026

We have a reactive and anxious dog, and I’m always nervous to leave her with new people. As soon as I met Michael I felt totally comfortable with him caring for my dog. He took the time to get to know her with a couple drop in visits before watching her for a weekend. He listens to instructions well and you can definitely tell he loves all animals. We will continue to use Michael for daily walks and when we are out of town.

Just what we needed. Great pet sitter. We needed to spend the day away from the house and everything went as planned. The photos and updates were a reassuring touch.
