Dog Lover

Previous owner of two dogs that passed in 2022. I relocated to Chicago in Spring 2023 and am not allowed to have dogs at my apartment but will care for your dogs with the love and care that I have cared for for my own pups. I'm happy to walk, run and play with your furbaby when you are unavailable. Your dog will be loved on and played with while in my care, and hopefully tired out by the time you return, if he or she is a high-energy pup! I've volunteered at several animal shelters and have had dogs my entire life so I am comfortable around new dogs whether they are large or small and will make sure you and your dog are comfortable with me as well. Let me care for your furry friend when you aren't able to and I promise you won't be disappointed by my care!

Michelle was amazing! I have a high energy dog and she handled her no problem and was so easy to work with. Would definitely will have her house sit again!

Michelle did a great job dog sitting for my bullmastiff while I was away for the weekend. She was communicative and I could tell Tank was having a good time while I was gone. I’ll definitely book again!

Michelle was absolutely amazing! She stepped in on short notice to help me out over a long weekend and couldn’t have made it easier. She stayed at my place, took great care of Ellie, and sent thoughtful updates (with pictures!) throughout her stay, which I really appreciated. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Ellie was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be using Michelle again—highly recommend!

Michelle was amazing with our little Fully. She stayed at our place and watched our 4month old Puppy for three nights and was diligent in her care, highly commutative and sent us photo updates. When we returned, Fully was happy, healthy (and I think missed her!!). It was SO nice to know that our little guy was in good hands and we could relax on our weekend away. I would highly recommend Michelle to a any friend! Piece of mind is so important when looking for someone to watch a furry family member and Michelle was great. Would re-hire in a heart beat.

Michelle did a great job with our stubborn golden! He usually refuses to walk with strangers, but she was able to get him around the block! Will definitely use again!

Schedule

I currently work from home so my schedule is flexible enough to take time out of my day to care for your pup. I am also able to work from your home if you have a pup that needs a little more attention and care during the day.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Michelle can host up to 1 pet per night
I'd like to know if the dog is good with other dogs or if they are reactive to other dogs, how their on leash behavior is and basically anything I would need to know to keep your pooch safe while we are out. I do not have any breed preferences at this time.
