Dog Walking in Arlington Heights

As your dog walker, I’ll get your pup out for some exercise and a bathroom break, with plenty of attention along the way. I tailor each walk to their age, energy, and personality.

30-minute minimum, often longer
1–5 days per week · 10 a.m.–3 p.m.

Your dog’s safety always comes first.

I’ve cared for hundreds of dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and levels of reactivity. I read their body language and watch our surroundings closely, anticipating situations and giving them room to feel comfortable.

No calls. No texting. No scrolling. While we’re walking, your dog has my undivided attention.

Regular walks give them exercise, mental stimulation, and the comfort of a predictable routine. A visit from a good friend can also help anxious or restless pups feel calmer and more settled.

When the weather changes.

If heat, cold, storms, or slippery conditions make a longer walk unsafe, I’ll shorten our outdoor time. We’ll spend the rest of the visit enjoying extra playtime and cuddles indoors.

Once we’re safely home, you’ll receive a detailed text about our visit, how your dog is doing, and anything I noticed—along with a few cute pictures.

“Chris has been walking our two dogs for a few months now and he’s the best dog walker we’ve ever had! Sweet, helpful, caring and timely. Our younger dog runs to the door each time he arrives. Couldn't say better things. We trust him completely!”
