Safety, trust & environment

I am able to fit whatever needs the client has. If your pets are accustomed to being out and about in the home, I can spend time with them that way. I also am able to use kennels for feeding or sleeping if that’s what they are used to. I’m comfortable keeping things tidy and making sure it’s a safe and clean space for them to hang out.

Pet care experience

I grew up in a large family with many pets. We had five dogs and two cats growing up, and I have had my own pets since. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats over the years, though I just moved back to Washington, so I have no pets at the moment.

Micheal watched my 4 dogs while I was out of state for my birthday and he did a wonderful job! I have 3 large dogs under the age of 4, and 1 elderly chihuahua. They all require different levels of care and he managed the challenges that come from that with ease. I love my dogs more than anything so trusting a stranger with them was difficult for me, but he made me feel at ease and my dogs love him…even the grumpy old chihuahua.

When my best friend and I were in need of a sitter for our 4 dogs, Michael was the immediate first choice. He’s kind and patient and exceptional with animals. We were gone for a week, and I’m sure our pets were upset we were home and that Michael was leaving. I have seen him interact with many different kinds of animals, and his good-natured personality just oozes from his pores. If you’re going to need someone to care and love for your pets as if they were his own, Michael should also be your immediate first choice.
