Gold Coast Dog Walkers
Caring for Gold Coast dogs for more than 25 years.
The Gold Coast is one of Chicago’s most elegant neighborhoods — historic mansions, tree-lined streets, and the lakefront a short stroll away. Dogs here deserve care that matches: personal, consistent, and professional.
Chicago Dog Walkers has provided exactly that since 1999 — every dog walked alone, by the same familiar walker, every single day.
What Every Gold Coast Walk Includes
- A full 25 minutes, one-on-one — never a group walk
- About 20 minutes of active walking, tailored to your dog’s pace
- Fresh water, treats, and paw clean-up before we go
- A digital report card with a photo after every walk
- GPS-tracked routes, so you can see exactly where your dog went
- A harness and collar on every walk — two points of contact
- The same dedicated walker your dog knows by sight
Where We Walk in the Gold Coast
Astor Street
Shaded historic blocks made for an unhurried sniff-and-stroll.
Washington Square Park
A neighborhood classic and an easy daily loop.
Toward Oak Street Beach
Lakefront paths for the dogs who like a longer outing.
The quiet inner blocks
Calm routes for senior dogs and anxious pups.
Why Gold Coast Dog Owners Choose Us
We’re local, and we’ve been here
Founded in Chicago in 1999. Not a national app that dropped a pin on your neighborhood.
Employees, never contractors
Every walker is hand-picked, trained, and background-checked — and covered by our insurance.
The same walker every day
Your dog sees one familiar face, not whoever happened to claim the job that morning.
A real person always answers
Our office is staffed 9 to 5, Monday through Friday, so when your schedule changes you reach a local team that knows your dog — not a support queue.
What Chicago Dog Owners Say
Denise and the entire team at Chicago Dog Walkers are simply amazing. They’ve taken the best care of my two pups over the last five years. They are reliable and they’ve gone out of their way to help me when I need a last-minute walk or dog sit.
Highly trusted. Mark the owner asked to come to my home to introduce himself when we got started. Santiago has been walking our dog and house sitting for the last 5 years. They are a great company to work with in every way.
