Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pup's friendly country haven!
Since childhood, there has never been a time when I have never had a dog best friend attached to my hip. I always have and always will continue to put these best friends health, diet, and exercise at the forefront so they continue to live their best and longest lives possible. I will absolutely treat your special loved one as if it were my own. Myself, Lacey/significant other, 2 young gentlemen(10/12). Winnie (3.5 year Golden Retriever), and Boba/Mochi (2 silly cats) live on a beautiful 2 acre landscaped property in the South Bay area of Olympia. A fantastic place for the dogs to explore, run free, fetch balls, with a great open concept dog friendly living space. We would love to share this space and Winnie (and my boys!) would love some friends to run with!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Mike was a great host to our senior Lab (Laser). He understood his needs and created an atmosphere where he felt comfortable and welcome. The setting is perfect — large yard, great supervision, and a houseful of welcoming family and pets. Highly recommend and Laser is looking forward to return visits.
Mike,his family and Winnie,their dog were amazing! They all took so great care of our Kyra.From the very beginning on she was welcomed in this new vacation home. Communication with Mike was very easy and super reliable. We highly recommend Mike and hope to rebook with him again once we’ll leave town.

Mike was great! He made our dog feel at home and eased our minds while we went on our trip! We definitely will return and strongly recommend him! He took great care of our boy!

Mike and his family are great! I really appreciate his flexibility and communication!

Mike, his sons and dog Winnie were absolutely fabulous! Mike sent photos and texts throughout the stay showing my dog running in the field, playing with Winnie, hanging out with the boys, and taking naps. I felt comforted leaving my pup in Mike's care. I would definitely recommend and will certainly hope to schedule again when needed. Thanks to Mike and family!

Mike was a fantastic sitter! He has the sweetest golden retriever who welcomed my dog like an old friend, and they had a great time exploring his beautiful property together. Mike also sent thoughtful updates and adorable photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. He was kind, communicative, and very flexible with my schedule. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

Calendar and availability
Schedule
I have quite the flexible schedule and have had a home-based career for 13+ years. I will tailor to their diet and feeding timelines, as well as any special requirements that are not outside the extreme norm.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Property is mostly fenced (fully fenced soon), however dogs will always be supervised or contained within a vicinity. I can accommodate their sleeping habits, whether they are crate trained or prefer to sleep on a dog bed. They will be treated and loved as our own.

A typical day
You’re pup will be spending their days with us just as Winnie does : ) We’ll be sure get our steps in by roaming the property, playing fetch for hours, and maybe we’ll even observe the deer that frequent my tiny orchard : ) My two young boys absolutely adore dogs and they’ll always provide plenty of attention and snuggles from them all day : )
