Pet care experience

I was a horseman for the last 30 years or so. I had 16 horses, 5 dogs, 2 parrots, 2 peacocks and some birds and fishes through out the years. My life changed, I only have one dog with me now. I would like to help my neighbors who can use my help and service. I firmly believe communication with our four legs friends is the foundation to have a happy life together. We need to listen what are they saying to us, not just feed them & think we own them. I moved from Illinois to Camano Island in 2017. I run an online business from home, pets are with me almost 24/7. My property is 2.5 acres. with a 0.44 acre dog proof fenced pasture. As long as your dog is friendly to other dogs, and you agreed to let them run free on our private dog park. I would like to turn them out as much as weather permitted. Please let me know if you can use my service for your pets, and come check our place before booking any service. Thank you. I am pretty much open to any weekdays or weekend. you may check in your pup to my place after 8:30 AM in the morning , and pick up your pup before 6:30 PM. There will be additional $8.00 /per hour fee applied for Beyond-hour service. I have a 2.5 acre property, with a 0.44 acre dog proof fenced pasture for them to run freely. I work from home, I am with them almost 23 hours a day.

Michael was very helpful and accommodating on short notice and provided a wonderful space for our corgis to play and have fun. His love for animals shines through.

Michael was wonderful. He is kind and patient with dogs and their humans! He graciously took the time to meet us and our young corgis up front. We had never left them for a whole day and we were concerned. His gentle ways quickly put our pups at ease and his organization and animal knowledge reassured us. He sent us several pictures during the day when he kept them which was lovely. When we picked up our pups that night, they were very happy. We highly recommend Michael as a dog sitter :)

Michael was hands down our best dog sitter we have ever had. We were able to use his services three times while we were traveling through Washington. He has a large fenced in area for the dogs to play and relax and also takes them on daily walks. Communicates regularly with updates and pictures. Wish he lived in Colorado so we could use him again. Thank you Michael!

I have 0.44 acre dog proof fenced yard. and large size crates, My maximum capacity is 7 dogs. I turn them out at least 4 times a day , 30 minutes minimum for each turn out, if weather permit, they can stay out even longer or more often. If your dog is familiar with dog park setting and friendly with other dogs, they could have wild party in the yard. I will send your dog's pictures at least twice a day. I am having fun with them , This is the best job out of my whole life.
