Pet care experience

I am a law student at Valparaiso University. I clerk for a Judge (but do the work at home) and take one summer class, so I am home for extended periods of time almost everyday. At home in Chicago, I own two dogs, a female Mini-Doxie and a male Shih-poo. Just down the street is a large field to play in, and I am adjacent to the University campus, which provides plenty of walking space. Being a runner, I excel with active dogs, but I also don’t mind staying in and hanging out with the not so active doggos?. I don’t mind dogs on my furniture nor my bed, and I will always make sure they still on their schedule. Your dogs happiness is my biggest priority!

Mike was awesome! He took great care of Pumpkin for the weekend we were gone. He made sure to send us tons of pictures and went above and beyond as far taking her on walks. He even went out of his way to buy a couple of chew toys she could play with. We will definitely have Pumpkin stay with him again!

Mike truly is a kind and caring friend not only to people, but to all animals. I have known him since childhood, and he has always loved and been great with any dog in his life. We would frequently ask him to care for our family dog when going out of town, and we completely trusted our dog was in good hands and always came back to a happy and healthy dog.

Mike took wonderful care of my dog while I was away for the weekend. He mentioned he grew up with pets of his own and was very comfortable with dog sitting. Realiable and responsible. Friendly experience, would recommend!

Mike did a great job taking care of my Golden Retriever, Buddy. He showed compassion and was willing to go the extra mile to make sure Buddy was not nervous while I was away. It is safe to say that I will definitely be asking Mike to watch Buddy again!
