All-In-One Runner & Cuddler!

Pet care experience

I love my dog, Stella. She's not always with me though, and I'm looking for a companion when she is not around. From rolling around on the floor or outside during playtime, to hanging out on the coach during quiet time before bed, I get on the same level with dogs - literally and figuratively. I consider my relationship with dogs as so much more than a pet / owner dynamic - it's a two-way street! Dogs give so much without asking for anything in return. I strive to give my dog and others the level of attention and appreciation that they deserve. It's the least I can do after being the partner of a pup for more than 10 years since being a puppy to an active senior now.

I’m super happy with this stay. I had an urgent family matter to attend to out of state a few days before Christmas. I was anxious that I’d not be able to make the trip if I could not make arrangements for my dog. Mike graciously met my dog and I for a meet and greet, and shortly thereafter took Ringo. While I was away I received a few photos showing my dog happily snuggled up. This put me at great ease. I’d happily book again with Mike.

I’ve known Mike for a number of years, he’s always exceeded and been asked to take on more responsibilities in everything he’s done. Always professional, on time (if not early), and flexible when needed.

Mike is great with dogs and a very responsible person. He loves being around dogs and takes great care of them. I would absolutely recommend him as a dog sitter.

Information Mike P. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know which cartoon character a dog's personality resembles the most. If the dog could speak actual words, which person's voice - actual or fictional - would be the closest to the dog's? Additionally, among others: - Any routines? - Quiet or nap times? - Usual bedtime? - Treats allowed / any other dietary restrictions? - Concerns of the owner?

A typical day

While the building does have a dog run, there is a great park right across the street; Grant Park and the Lake Front path are also both minutes away! Hide and seek with a rubber ball is also a favorite.
