Pets take priority in my household

Pet care experience

I have taken care of all different kinds of animals from dogs and cats to lizards and rats, I love all of them equally. I couldn’t imagine a life without a pet companion and would do anything for my pets, and yours too.

I have known Michael, Mike for over 20 years. He has taken care of my pets over the years both cats and dogs. He is very loving, patient, dependable and honest. He pays attention to your pets, whether walking them, or playing catch with their favorite toys. I never have to worry when I leave knowing Mike will take care of everything. Mike takes our Lab Possum on walks and hikes and for swims in the lake. He also watches and entertains our cat Birdie. He is a pet owner himself and loves animals. I can’t think of anybody I’d recommend more to walk and care for your family pet than Mike.

Mike is a true gentle soul with a huge love for all of Earth’s creatures. Not only does he love all animals, but they love him back. He grew up with dogs, cats and critters, and he takes amazing care of his two cats, always with immense love, kindness, consistency and patience. He was wonderful taking care of his pet Ratties as well, always making sure they had when they needed and they were happy. I would trust him to take care of any animal or insect. He’s extremely reliable, and just an all around a wonderful, sensitive and compassionate person. I couldn’t think of someone more suitable for such a big responsibility as taking care of animals.

Like I said previously, my pets take priority in my household, I am very attentive to my babies and can tell right away if something is off and we do not hesitate to take them to the vet, and I always do exactly what the vet recommends.

Information Michael H. would like to know about your pet

I have no preference on what type of pet you have, I would like to know whether or not your pet has any special needs, just to prepare myself.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks wether it’s around their neighborhood or adventurous hikes, depending on what the dog is capable of, fetch is always a fun game, or just throwing stick for them to chase. Love playing with cats whether it’s toys or fetch, yes I’ve meet a few cats that will fetch, training them to do tricks is also fun.

My cats like to wake me up right around seven for their food, I feed them and give them fresh water every morning. I work Monday thru Friday and as soon as I get home everyday my cat Howard is right at the door to greet me, he never fails. I usually sit with for sometime then he gets some food. If they’re not lounging around the house or napping on my lap I like to play with their toys. They also love to watch bird a squirrel videos on the tv.
