Pet care experience

North Chicago based dog lover

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 including my hound and lab for the last 9 years. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and use dog walks as exercise. I’m flexible, patient and detail-oriented.

Michael is a wonderful pet sitter. He loves animals and is incredibly responsible. He watched my dog while I was away and sent me daily updates. I would definitely recommend him as a pet sitter. My dog also loves Michael. He looks forward to seeing him which makes leaving just a little easier. Will definitely be using again.

I highly recommend Michael as a pet sitter. He has over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets, and his dedication and love for animals are evident in everything he does. He has cared for many of our friends' dogs including our two fur babies for the past 9 years. Michael is reliable, attentive, and treats every pet as if they were his own. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, or providing companionship, pets are always safe, happy, and well cared for in his hands.
