Safety, trust & environment

My cats have the ability to go outside everyday. I ensure our cats are safely inside every night. My goats have a barn and pasture to live in. They have complete shelter from the elements if needed.

Information Michael S. would like to know about your pet

I want to know of physical limitations and needs to keep the pet happy and stimulated. Dietary needs and medication needs are important for me to be aware of as well.

A typical day

I will listen to the owners description of the pets needs and likes and honor that. I will also be aware of the pets abilities and moods and not push the pet beyond its abilities or wishes.

My wife and I have known Mike and his wife for years. When ever we have visited them they showed great compassion for their pet goats and cats. So much compassion it inspired us to get goats. With Mikes help we now are happy owners of three healthy goats. When Mike visits he always is sure to greet our dog first before us. He always ask if we have any concerns or questions concerning our goats. Then takes the time to visit with them and look them over. It is quite evident that Mike has a love of all animals. I would be the first to say I would trust Mike with any of my animals. Sincerely, Dale Pitre

I highly recommend Mike for participation in your company. I have known Mike for many years; he’s one of the most caring and compassionate people I know as it relates to pets/animals. He takes phenomenal care of the pets for whom he is the guardian, and has a strong interest in and concern for the pets of others (and animals in general.) He is happy to help whenever possible to care for the fuzzy ones of others, and there’s no one I’d trust more w a pet or in another’s home, to include my own. He is highly responsible, considerate and most importantly passionate about the welfare and treatment of animals. Definitely someone your clients would be thrilled to have assist when they’re traveling. I certainly hope you consider him to add to your roster.
