Highlights
Pet care experience
Special Care is Our Objective
In my youth, my parents told me stories of my great, great, great grandfather Richard Martin, who started The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a precursor to The Humane Society. Because of their stories of his compassion and love for animals, I grew fond of loving them and felt a responsibility for their well-being. Over the years there have been many pets we have had in all of my households. Although these pets were for other people we lived with, the dogs, cats, even the fish would gravitate to me because of my care and love for them. I ensured they had proper care, and rarely did they have an empty food dish or water bowl. I get thirsty when I go for walks and so do our pets. I carry water and a bowl to pause during our walks to pour water into the bowl and let them drink. The I water up myself! The bonds I hold dearly for them, make the animals feel loved and relaxed when I am around. I have always provided attentive and loving care to all the animals that are entrusted to me. I feel I have carried on my ancestor’s wish from many generations before me!

Ratings and reviews
Michael was great! Our dog got plenty of exercise and lots of love and attention while we were out of town. We also appreciated Michael’s communication and flexibility. We would happily have Michael take care of our dog again!
Couldn’t be happier - took amazing care of our pup and great people!
Michael and Sharon were wonderful to our girl going the 2nd mile when our car broke down on our trip and they graciously flexed
We’ve used Michael multiple times to watch our dog, Walter, and he consistently exceeds five stars. His service, attention to detail, daily communication, and the photos he shares every day all reflect a genuine love and care for our dog that is truly exceptional. I can’t say enough good things about him. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust in the Fort Collins area, don’t hesitate to reach out—he and his wife are simply the best.
Another amazing experience with Michael! We know our boy Wiley is in great hands when we are away! Michael is thoughtful, caring, and takes great care of Wiley. He even offered to drive by our house to see if anything was damaged after the big wind storms. Thanks for everything Michael!
Michael and Sharon were great to work with and took wonderful care of Gibbs while we were away. They were very flexible when we needed to extend hours due to some inclement weather that effected our travel. We got photo updates a few times a day that let us know Gibbs was well taken care of. Highly recommend and would use again. Thank you for taking such good care of Gibbs.

At the present time, Michael is not employed and can devote much of the time to caring for your pets. I enjoy the time with pets and extend love and caring for them. It is an honor to give them the love that makes them happy!

Safety, trust & environment
I can be available to house your pet in my fenced backyard, or travel to your house and keep them company while you are away.
A typical day
Most young dogs love to run. I have many toys to keep them busy chasing them in our yard or at your house. I like to brush their fur, if they are accepting and rub their tummies or give them a needed scratch. Cats have their own ways and I like to be able to rub under their chins, around and under their collars, and their foreheads. Letting the kitties sit with me and just be a buddy while they await your return.
