I love animals. All kind. I also love working with kids. I am a people person. I am very reliable and friendly. I love to walk. That is my enjoyment time in the evening, to walk my dog. I help out all my neighbors and friends with their animals when they need me. I work for a couple hours a day at an elementary school. I am married and have 3 teenage kids. I have one dog. I would like to have more animals.

Hi! I'm Susan and I've been an animal/nature lover all my life. Dogs have been a part of my family for the past 37 years along with fish and birds. We currently have two rescues, a chiweenie and a lab-shepherd, that are absolute joys. I can't imagine life without companion animals nor the beauty and peace that nature provides. As a Wag! walker, I’m committed to compassionate care and assuring pet safety as well as being respectful of your home and privacy. Kisses and belly rubs galore!

Dog Walking in Wadsworth
Wadsworth, Illinois was named after E. S. Wadsworth. Mr. Wadsworth was a big stockholder for a railroad company that passes through this quaint village. It's also situated in a scenic spot, and, best of all, it offers a few dog-friendly activities for you and your pooch to enjoy together!
You and your fur baby will love dining at the Savanna House Restaurant & Bar. This establishment serves home-style meals as well as breakfast. This Fido-friendly eatery has five outdoor tables available for you and your pup to enjoy your meal together. The locals love the craft beer selection available here, and the bar stays open late so you can stop in for a meal at dinnertime or a drink in the wee hours of the morning.
There is also a great trail for you and your canine friend to hike in this city: the Des Plaines River Trail, which is part of the Rails-To-Trails program. This program takes old rail lines and turns them into trails that can be used for walking, hiking and biking. This trail is a long one at 52.6 miles -- we don't recommend tackling it all in one go! The trail is paved, crushed gravel, and dirt. There are plenty of trees for shade along the trail, and you'll find plenty of picnic areas and water fountains along the way to stop and rest. You'll need to bring supplies for cleaning up after your furry friend.
