River North Dog Walkers
Trusted by River North dog owners since 1999.
River North moves fast — galleries, restaurants, high-rise living, and the Chicago Riverwalk right at your doorstep. Your dog’s midday walk shouldn’t depend on whichever gig-app stranger happens to accept the job.
Chicago Dog Walkers has been walking River North dogs one-on-one since 1999, with the same dedicated walker showing up at your door every day.
What Every River North 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 River North
Kingsbury & the riverfront
Quieter stretches when you want a calm, low-traffic route.
Ward (A. Montgomery) Park
The neighborhood’s dog-friendly green space for a proper stretch.
The Chicago Riverwalk
A favorite long walk for dogs with energy to burn.
Wells Street side streets
Where we route an excitable pup once the main drag gets busy.
Why River North 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.
Built for high-rise living
Key fobs, front desks, elevators, and building staff are our daily routine — and our walkers are bonded, licensed, and insured, which River North buildings appreciate as much as we do.
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.
