Animals are Family too!
Pet care experience
I've had a pet since the age of 3, and I've personally cared for my own pet(s) for 12 years. I look at animals as more than just a pet, but a member of the household who has needs and wants, just like any other person. Walks, playtime, feeding, cleaning up, and sharing affection are just some of the skills that I utilize when caring for your furry companions!
Reviews
Hal is great with our Doberman (who is a rescue and has some trauma responses we are working through)— he’s very intuitive and observant of her body language. He’s also understanding of and patient with her and we are lucky to have found him!
Hal, you are amazing as always! Thank you so much for continuing taking care of Leo and Ruby! We really appreciate it!
He did take a wonderful care of my cat! He’s a good communicator and a friendly pet sitter :)
Hal is very dependable and a great communicator! We have used his services multiple times now and plan to in the future shall the need arise. 10/10 recommend!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
At home, Sam and I walk the neighborhood a few times a day and make daily park visits in the afternoon to make sure we get enough exercise (he's a popular guy at the park!). If I'm doing a check-in, I defer to what my clients would prefer, as they know best what their furry child(ren) needs. I can do feedings, litter boxes (for cats, and with proper instructions), neighborhood walks, and outings such as a park or dog park! Does your baby have a specific quirk? Not a problem! Basically, I want to ensure that my clients (and their furry companions) are satisfied with my care, and would like a routine person they can trust.
Information Hal M. would like to know about your pet
It is helpful to know of any conditions, special needs, and potential feeding/medication schedules they require. It is also helpful to know if any additional supplements are given during visits, or after feeding periods.
A typical day
One of my go-to places for outdoor walks is Mountain Creek Park, near Red Bank Elementary. It has plenty of shaded pathing to walk as well as open areas as well. It's a great place to walk, sniff all the things, and do some limited play. I take my dog, Sam, there daily. I keep balls and frisbees to chase, water bowls, and plenty of water while we are out (hydration is extremely important).

Availability
I'm a full-time student (at night) as well as a gig musician. I have availability in the mornings until early afternoon (3 pm) typically. My best friend and I, Samwise, walk first thing in the morning and have play time at the park in the afternoons before class or gigs. When I eat breakfast and dinner, he does as well. I incorporate his needs and play times into a routine that becomes *our* time.
