Dogs Need 10,000 Steps Too

Pet care experience

My name is Mike and I've been a dog owner my entire life. I even dog sat through this app (used to be Doggie Vacay) a few years back. I grew up in the Western Suburbs and have lived downtown for a few years now. I'm fully employed and living in Little Italy (Chicago) with my fiancé. We’d be happy to dog watch or dog walk. I can also do drop in visits for cats. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Mike was great with Winston! He noticed all of his little quirks and sent me great photos. Will 100% be asking for his help again!!

Our 2 Boston Terrier's had a fantastic stay for a long weekend with Mike! In fact, they didn't want to come home! Our Boston's have a special diet that requires special attention and preparation of their food. Mike was very accommodating and paid special attention to detail in this regard. He kept us updated throughout the weekend on our dog's activities and even made a special trip home, so we could pick up our Boston's as soon as we returned from vacation! We will have no hesitation in leaving our Boston's with Mike when we leave town again!

We had a great experience with Mike. He is very knowledgeable about dogs and took the time to get to know Nara. She was in good hands while we were away. We will definitely use him again in the future.

Information Mike D. would like to know about your pet

I would just need to know how many walks your dog typically needs and what they enjoy doing on a daily basis. We are pretty laid back and can accommodate whatever your dogs needs are!

A typical day

A typical day on a weekend would be a nice long walk in the morning, early afternoon and evening. We might take your dog to the dog park to run around and have fun.

I work full time in an office but my fiancé is in real estate so she is popping in and out of our place throughout the day. We have watched plenty of dogs over the past few years and it’s always been pretty seamless!
