Hi, I’m located in Logan Square and parent to a nine year old rescued pit bull, and in the past have been foster parent to rescued dogs while they were awaiting placement in their forever homes. I love all kinds of dogs, big, small, and in between, and have a particular fondness for pit bulls and other bully breeds, because they’re so cute and sweet!

I've always been around animals and dogs since I could walk, and when I was old enough to work I knew there would be no better fit than working with animals! I have volunteered at a shelter and worked professionally with animals in a retail environment. Due to a heavy school schedule I had to leave that job but now that Wag! exists I can still work with pups!

My name is Patrick & I live in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago. I've had dogs & cats my whole life, currently having a 17 year old calico named Jadzia. Love my doggies too but Jadzia doesn’t approve so I make up for it by dog sitting for friends & family, as well as taking volunteer opportunities. On top of that, I love being outside & walking, even when the weather isn't so great.

Dog Walking in Westchester
Westchester, Illinois might be a bit more cat-friendly than dog-friendly, since its only vet clinic in town caters toward felines. But, that doesn’t mean you’re out of luck if you own a dog, because there are plenty of places near Westchester that are just a short drive away.
For starters, Chicago is just about 13 miles from Westchester, and the city is chock full of pawtastic things for your pooch! Montrose Dog Beach is one of them, providing you and your pup with a spacious area of sand and water, all for no admission! You can also hop on a Seadog cruise with Fido, which offers several types of cruises around Chicago, most of which are dog-friendly. You can even take an evening cruise for the best views of the Chicago skyline.
If you’re looking for places away from the city to enjoy with your dog, you can find plenty of them, too. Oak Park is a great place to stop. Here, you can tour the Ernest Hemingway Museum, play at the Ridgeland Common Recreation Complex Dog Park, or visit the Oak Park Conservatory to stop and smell the flowers. These attractions are just a hop, skip, and a bark away from Westchester!
