Why Choose Me?

Because your dog deserves more than just care — they deserve love, attention, and trust.

Experienced with All Breeds

With years of hands-on experience walking dogs of every breed, size, and personality, I specialize in tailoring each walk to fit your dog’s unique needs. From energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentle stroll, I understand how to adapt my pace and style. I’m also skilled at handling dogs who pull, are reactive, or need extra structure.

Positive & Patient Approach

I use positive reinforcement, patience, and calm leadership to help dogs feel secure and build good leash manners. Whether your dog needs a focused training walk, a stimulating sniff walk, or a high-energy power walk, I offer the right balance of exercise, structure, and engagement.

Deep Local Knowledge

Based in Lincoln Park in Chicago, I know the surrounding neighborhoods and parks like the back of my hand—including in Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, River North and Bucktown. I will take your dogs on multiple fun outings each day to destinations like the Lincoln Park Zoo, Lincoln Park, the Nature Boardwalk, North Pond, and the Lakefront Path. A day with Jared is a dog’s dream!

Safety-First, Always

Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I always carry water, treats, poop bags, and emergency contacts, and I stay alert to traffic, wildlife, and unpredictable situations. I’m fully equipped and trained to handle walks safely and responsibly in all conditions.

Flexible Scheduling

Whether you need weekday walks, occasional help, or last-minute bookings, I offer flexible scheduling to fit your routine. I’m committed to showing up on time and treating every walk like it matters—because it does.

Client Reviews

“Jared is simply the best! My Border Collie mix, Molly, has endless energy, and Jared goes above and beyond every time. He took her to the dog beach and sent me so many adorable videos and updates — it was clear she was having the time of her life. Honestly, Molly didn’t even want to come back home! I feel so lucky to have found someone who treats my pup like his own.”

“I can’t recommend Jared enough. He’s been walking my Goldendoodle, Ziya, for months and has never once been late. His punctuality and reliability give me total peace of mind, and Ziya absolutely adores him. If you want someone who takes time commitments seriously and truly cares about your dog’s happiness, Jared is your guy.”

“Jared has been a blessing for our family and our dog, Winter. He always makes sure Winter gets plenty of playtime — fetch is Winter’s favorite — and even brings along his own dog, Parker, who is now Winter’s best friend. It’s clear Jared’s whole life revolves around dogs, and it shows in how happy and tired Winter is after every visit.”

“I don’t know how to thank Jared enough. He walks my dog, Tannis, way longer than I actually pay for — I book him for 30 minutes, but Tannis usually gets a 1.5 hour adventure with Jared and his own dogs, Sylvia and Parker. Tannis loves exploring with his pack, and I love that Jared cares more about the dogs than the clock. Truly one of a kind.”

“Over the years, Jared has not only been a kind and passionate friend but he’s also been somebody who has taken a very kind heart to every animal he encounters. I had Jared watch my dog while a family vacation and when leaving him there not only did I know that he was gonna get the care he needed, he was also gonna get the attention, love and outdoor time that he deserved. Thank you so much Jared, we will definitely be back!”

“Jared takes a great care of my pups! Every walk he makes sure they’re safe, have plenty of water, ac (ok an hot day), socialization and love. We’ve met during one of my walks, and since day one me and my pups loved Jared. You truly see how much he loves dogs. If you need someone to walk your pup(s) and feel confident that your dogs are truly taken care of, Jared is your man!”
