Hi, I’m Aaron, very nice to meet you and your best friend and can’t wait to walk your pup! I grew up in small town central IL taking care of multiple black labs. Almost 6 years ago, I took in a shelter dog named Addie and her and I have been walking and hiking and playing fetch ever since. I’m looking forward to walking your little (or big!) family member with the same love and care I share with my Addie. Thanks for reading my profile.

Hello! My name is Trevor and I grew up in the Chicago suburbs with Benny, a Golden Retriever and German Shepherd mix. I love dogs and they love me. Since I enjoy both dogs and staying active, dog walking is a great fit. It is a much enjoyed break from my studies as a medical student and a great way to spend time with animals even though my wife is allergic. Rest assured, I am trustworthy, dependable, and will take care of your dog like he or she is my own. I hope to meet your dog soon!
