About Mike S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am experienced in providing special and unique care for pets, including specific environments or medical needs. I am very aware that schedules are important and I make sure to treat your pet as if it were mine. I am responsible and time-oriented. I will never miss a step on your checklist!
Information Mike S. would like to know about your pet
If booking for a pickup while you're not home, I'd prefer to meet the dog prior to doing so to avoid any surprises for the dog. If your friend has any special needs, like medicine or diet, please let me know ahead of time and I'll make sure all of their needs are taken care of!
A typical day
I'm always outside! I'd love to take your furry friend anywhere they want to go. Frisbee, Chuck-It, running, you name it. I've also trained multiple hunting dogs. Even if you're not an avid hunter, your dog can benefit from training. It's a great work out, and provides the dog with important skills like focus, agility, and recall.

Streeterville's Premier Pet Pal
Pet care experience
I'm a dog lover and am especially fond of high-energy companions. Do you need a pro who's experienced with sporting, hunting, herding, and other high-energy breeds? I understand the importance of giving them the attention and exercise they need to thrive. Whether it's a brisk walk around the neighborhood or an exhilarating game of fetch, I'm always ready to keep those tails wagging. My 5 year-old Wirehaired Pointing Griffon will also make a great, athletic companion for your dog if you choose a play date! I am an experienced trainer of high-energy breeds. I'm adept at providing the structured activities and positive reinforcement training necessary to channel their enthusiasm into enjoyable and well-behaved behavior. I love using their energy in a positive way!
Reviews
Mike is a lovely sitter who treated my pup like he was is own. He is attentive and attuned to larger breeds, which is difficult to find. We will certainly be working with Mike again!
Mike is one of the best sitters that we have had great luck with. Our dog has high anxiety, but Mike knows how to take care of him.
We needed a last minute walk/ play time for my dog, Baloo! Mike was perfectly on time and made sure he was super worn out. Will definitely use again!
Mike was great with Snowy. He offered the perfect balance of being friendly and communicative, with a professional attitude. I felt he took our instructions seriously and understood Snowy's special needs and how to manage her. We're very grateful to have found Mike!
