Friend to all animals; big or small

Pet care experience

I've always gotten along with all animals. I've had a variety of pets growing up such as birds, rabbits, fish, tortoises, cats, dogs and even spiders. My knowledge of how to take care of animals starts with their basic needs like food and water to their emotional care such as love and affection that all animals need. As of right now, I have 4 small dogs and one cat. They're hyper and loud and my family and I love everything thing about them. I walk them every day in the summer or winter, making sure that they're cared for before or after a walk in the changing elements so they're safe. I can walk early mornings to afternoon. I can walk their pets and sit them while the client is gone with their mind and heart at ease while they know that I'm not a rookie looking after dogs, since I've been around them all my life, big and small. I've administered medicine for my own dog, understanding the some of the client's animals need to be medically cared for, because it could mean something simple from allergies to life saving medicine, and I know how important it is to make sure the pets are just as happy as the client left as they are when the clients come back.

I've known Michael for a long time and the top 3 things I can say about him is that he is caring, patient, and kind. I'm not just throwing that out there to make him look good, Michael is truly all of those things combined. I have watched him with children and animals and he is always patient with them. His genuine kindness give him a likability that even animals can sense. Animals seem to trust Michael and he loves to play with them. As much as you can trust what you read on the internet, please know that you will not regret for one minute putting your pet into the care of my friend, Michael. All of our pets love him and run to meet him. Michael has always been responsible in all of my dealings with him. He has always been on time and courteous. I am happy to be able to write this recommendation, and I wish him much success with his endeavors.

Michael Hefter is a caring guy that has always been there for me. He has watched my cat and sister's dog many times and I would not trust anyone else. He provides them with lots of love and care. I know they are always safe with him. He always wants to be there for the pets and makes sure they have lots of fun on walks. He gives them as much time as they need on their walks, so they feel comfortable and not rushed. Michael loves all pets and I haven't met one that doesn't like him.

Information Michael H. would like to know about your pet

All breeds are welcome! I would like to ask if they enjoy being outside, playing with toys, if they enjoy a quiet environment, and if they prefer being with me or if they enjoy being alone, because dogs have their own personality, some would prefer not to be around someone so new so quickly until they would warm up to me

A typical day

I have an array of pet toys that I could always bring if the client has a limited amount, but even with the selected amount of toys they have, the dogs will still have fun. Walking around the neighborhood is always a great start to the walk, it's a familiar place to the dog and it will help them feel safe and secure, and after they feel a little better, possibly after a bit of walking or a returning client, we can expand more past the neighborhoods and visit a park or dog parks if they feel comfortable.
