Experienced & Energetic Dog Mom

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Michelle and with work from home arrangements and a dog friendly apartment, have lots of free time (& space) to make furry friends :). I previously offered Rover services in Nashville while in college and recently decided I should come out of Rover retirement in Chicago! I’ve owned a dog for most of my life and have previously watched and walked many dogs for friends and family, so understand the many needs of various pups across the board and will do everything I can to make sure your dogs are happy and healthy! I also have a friendly dog loving roommate who contributes to the welcoming, fun, and homey energy I've established for maximum canine comfort. I know how stressful it is to leave your dog so I make sure to be responsive and regularly communicate updates and send pictures. My apartment building has many dog friendly amenities such as an attached dog park, wash stations, and many four-legged neighbors. Even if you think you're the one going on vacation, I'll ensure your dog feels the same!

Michelle did great with Charlie! She kept me informed and sent pictures about their night. She took Charlie on a nice, long walk, as well. Charlie seemed to have a fun time with Michelle!

Availability

Since I work from home, I am happy to board your pup during the week and will gladly work with your schedule. I begin the day around 9 and end anywhere from 5-7, but can take breaks during the day to go on walks or play with your pup and have roommates for backup if anything comes up.
