Pet care experience

I grew up around many dogs/animals and have been taking care of dogs independently to some level for over 10 years. I’m known to have a special touch when it comes to petting dogs and will often become best friends with even the most skittish of dog. In Chicago, I have walked, boarded, and sat for hundreds of dogs with great satisfaction. I’ve spent ample amounts of time walking and biking around the city and am very knowledgeable of where the best walking spots are. I’m also tall and can cover lots of ground while your walker if your dog needs the exercise. If you board with me your dog will get VIP treatment that consists of lots of great pets and multiple long walks a day around my very dog friendly neighborhood. I live in a pretty large condo in a high rise with great views for your pupper.

Michael was awesome with our two dogs, Lex and Libby, who aren’t the most well behaved. He went out of his way to stay away from other dogs when walking them. They normally don’t warm up to people quickly, but by the end of the day they were both getting lots of well accepted pets from Mike. We wouldn’t definitely ask him to watch the dogs again.

Michael was the best! My dog had some special considerations, and I’d never left her with a Rover sitter before, but Michael was very flexible and accommodating. He took the time to read through her profile and instructions to understand her needs, and sent lots of lovely pictures, and made her feel right at home! Thank you!

I have a condo with a large living room and lots of natural light. If I am boarding a dog I will treat them as my own and they will be spoiled. I live right across the street from 3 great parks and your loved one(s) will get my full attention. Other dogs will not be present. Due to living in a highrise if your pup is an excessive barker or scared of elevators it may not be a good match. Thank you for considering.

A typical day

Walks! Parks! Play, naps, you name it. I like to go to the riverfront park near me to hang out with the pups. I love nature myself so it works well. My condo is big enough to play a little fetch if the weather isn’t nice.
