Highlights
Pet care experience
Active, reliable doggie best friend
Hi! I'm Mick. I've loved and taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I grew up and live in Oak Park, so know the area very well. Along with my affinity for dogs, I consider myself an active person, which is why I'm eager to combine both and take your dog for walks or drop-in to check on them! Whether your dog loves long walks, exercise, quick potty breaks, or just friendly company, I'm your guy! I've worked with dogs of all types--small or large, young or old, lazy or energetic. My schedule is pretty flexible. When you book with me you can expect punctuality and regular updates about your pup! I'm happy to accommodate any special needs. I'm dependable and communicative, and will always treat your pet with care!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My main priority will be safety, hydration, and enjoyment for your pet. I can provide real-time updates on every walk or drop-in. I will make sure to establish trust with your dog when we first meet. I am comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and energy levels.
Ratings and reviews
Micheal has been great with our Goldendoodle puppy. Good communication and always on time.
Great with our dog, great communication and availability, and made my parents’ time taking care of the pup much smoother. Will definitely look for rebooking in the future!
Handled our dogs well. Great communication. Thanks!
Michael did a great job. We were gone for five days and he visited several times a day. He sent us updates and photographs after each visit.
Mick has been very kind and patient with our hesitant dog. Mick has been working to slowly build up a trusting relationship during his visits, and we are hopeful that they will become good friends and walking buddies soon!
Michael was outstanding with our dog Jules. Highly recommend.

- It will be helpful for me to know how your dog behaves on walks, what motivates them (e.g., treats, pets, toys, etc.), and whether they have anything that makes them nervous.
