About Tim & Mike P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Please see above for more, but we do multiple daily walks for boarded dogs in addition to any specific instructions you may have. Our goal is to spoil your pet rotten while you're away! We'll spend the meet and greet ensuring we capture all requirements and nice-to-have's to ensure your pet is fully cared for whether it's medication, triggers, safety concerns with other dogs, etc. our mission is to put your mind at ease and give your pet(s) a top-shelf vacation experience of their own.
Information Tim & Mike P. would like to know about your pet
We have no breed preferences, though we do require pets be up to date on all shots. We do ask a few questions (typically at the meet and greet when we're getting to know you and your furry family). Some of these questions include (some apply only to house sitting): ~Quirks ~Barking triggers ~Eating habits (Special food, number of times per day, etc.) ~Sleeping arrangements (bed/crate/couch/floor/etc.) ~Leash and walk behavior ~How your dog behaves around other dogs ~Cleaning supply location(s) so we can take care of any accidents that may have happened before we arrived.
A typical day
WALKS! We typically walk dogs around your neighborhood (unless you specify otherwise). If your dog has social anxiety around other dogs we'll be sure to take the utmost care in making sure they have a lot of space and privacy. AT HOME Whether they're a lap dog or a loner, a puppy or a cranky senior, we've seen them all (and love them all). Our goal is to make your pet's time while you're away as enjoyable and low stress as possible. We'll do a meet and greet to learn as much as we can before the care dates.

Furry Families in Chicago
Pet care experience
Hi, we're Tim & Mike - a duo looking to help care for your furry family! Our reviews say it all, but check us out, send us a message and please do ask if you have any questions. We love animals so much we've made a side career out of caring for them. WHY WE LOVE WORKING WITH FURRY FAMILIES Tim has loved dogs all his life. He's housed and cared for them since he was a child, and couldn't imagine life without them. It's not much different for his husband Mike, who previously worked in dog rescue missions in both Boston and Louisville. Mike additionally works full time as a dog walker. OUR SERVICES 🏡 Boarding/House Sitting We have over 20 years of experience boarding cats and dogs both in our home and in their own home (often where they feel most comfortable). Normally we prefer to stay overnight in your home. Typically it's one of us there for the actual overnight (so the other can stay home with our own furry kids) while both of us share the care work outside of that so your pet is more comfortable while you are away and has constant attention. 🐕🚶🏼♂️Walks Because we have a handful of regular furry clients, we have some availability (with flexibility) throughout the week to walk your dog, and have availability both for new one-time and new regular clients. Walks are a minimum of 30 minutes and feature bathroom stops, plenty of sniffing spots to keep them engaged, and (if you prefer) a visit to your local park or lakefront area (applicable if near your home, of course). ✅ Check ins Much like walks, we can stop into your home for pet check-ins that may be a little more involved than simply taking your dog out for a quick bathroom break. This can include lots of pets, medication, feeding, or any other pet-related tasks you may need done while you're out for the day. OUR MEDICATION ADMINISTERING EXPERIENCE We are comfortable administering most forms of medication. Please inquire if you have specific questions!

Reviews
Great communication and I always appreciate when they avail themselves for a walk even on short notice. Thank you!
Reponsive, professional, great with my senior dog, and very reliable. Highly recommend!
Friendly and easy to get ahold of! They were flexible when we needed to drop off the key instead of relying on the lock box when it was very cold. Most importantly they took our senior dog on a nice long walk.
Responsible, punctual, great rapport with my senior dog, recommend highly!
