Highlights
Pet care experience
True dog loving family
Hello! Our family loves dogs of all shapes and sizes. Here’s a little about our story…..right after we got married we fell in love with our first pet, Mocha. She was an 8 week old Shiba Inu puppy. We had a wonderful 14 year life with her until she passed away in 2021. After she passed the house felt quiet and empty, so we knew we needed another dog (or 2). We were fortunate to adopt 2 wonderful dogs from the West Suburban Humane Society later that same year who have filled our lives with joy. We have experience helping our neighbors with their dogs when they need a sitter. Our children have grown up with dogs so they are very comfortable with all kinds of dog breeds. Our love of dogs inspired us to help other families find a caring and safe place to board their dogs while they are away.

Ratings and reviews
From the meet and greet to the 6 nights Millie spent with Matthew and Michelle during our vacation, we felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. They are both dog lovers and it definitely shows. Their home is set up beautifully to accommodate a few dogs at a time and they have an amazing back yard for running around and playing. They also took care to feed Millie her additional supplements during meal time. Millie came home exhausted from 6 days of fun. We received several pictures of Millie's adventures while we were gone which gave us all peace of mind that she was in good hands. We highly recommend Matthew and Michelle's care services. We will definitely be back for our future sitting needs.
We are repeat customers and our Mae is always well cared for and happy when she visits! Matt and Michelle treat her like one of the family!
10 out of 10, highly recommend! I visited a few different sitters before making my decision, and what really stood out about Michelle and Matthew was how calm their home was and how well trained their own two dogs were. They took such amazing care of our Pomeranian while we were away on vacation. They answered all of my questions beforehand and made me feel completely at ease about leaving him there. They even went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable, setting up his bed in a special spot on their couch and making sure his feeding area was just how he liked it! We absolutely loved receiving the daily photos and updates! Dukie looked so happy during his entire 6 day stay and even made a few doggy friends to play with. This was our first time boarding, and we will definitely be booking with this beautiful family again in the future!
We are very happy with the care Mae received with Matthew and Michelle. They kept us updated and sent us pictures each day. We missed her very much and this helped us to know she was in such great hands. We will absolutely use them again in the future! Thanks again!!
Our and our dog Sally’s favorite dog sitters! Matt and Michelle always do an amazing job taking care of Sally! Making sure she gets lots of belly rubs!
I boarded my mini golden doodle with Mathew and Michelle for the first time and was very impressed! They have the perfect setup for caring for dogs including a large fenced in yard where the dogs can literally go in and out. This was the first time I boarded Cali with people i didn’t know and i immediately felt at ease. They sent me numerous photos and updates throughout Cali’s stay! I will definitely rebook. I highly recommend boarding your dog with this lovely family!

Schedule
Both my wife and I have flexible work schedules so there is usually someone around to pamper your dog. Also, our kids are home during the summer and love to play with dogs and take them for walks.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced in yard and 2 playful dogs that will keep your dog company throughout the day. We treat our dog companions like they are part of our family. For example, we like to play fetch, take them on walks, and give lots of belly rubs throughout the day. We are accommodating to the specific needs of each dog as we know they all come with a unique personality. Our number one goal is to make sure you and your dog feel comfortable when you are away.

A typical day
We go on a couple walks or go to the dog park. We also spend a lot of time playing in our fenced in yard.
