I love dogs. I love walking.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover and dedicated walker who truly enjoys spending time with furry friends of all shapes and sizes. I got my first dog when I was 10 years old, and walking him every morning before school quickly became one of my favorite parts of the day—it taught me responsibility, patience, and the joy that comes from a happy, wagging tail. Since then, caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I recently moved to Chicago and I’m excited to explore the city while getting to know the local pet-loving community. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or an energetic walk through the park, I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup—and make every walk something they look forward to! Available hours Monday - Friday: 6am-11pm Weekends: All day. Prior experience. I’ve owned two dogs before and I loved them very much.

Joel did a great job walking my two labs. The one can be difficult to manage wasn’t an issue for Joel

Joel was amazing with Woofie! The pictures he sent showed just how comfortable my dog felt with him popping in the house while I was out of town! Thank you, again, Joel!
