The Leader of the Pack Since 1996

Expert care for your best friend, right here in the North Shore.

Why Pups (and Parents) Pick Us!

REAL LOVE, LOCAL ROOTS

We got our start back in 1996, built by locals who wanted to bring reliable, heartfelt pet care to their own community. Nearly 30 years later, weโ€™re still doing what we love – providing trusted, neighborly care to pups and pet parents in Evanston and throughout the North Shore. Caring for our communityโ€™s dogs has been our joy since day one.

BONE-AFIDE EXPERTS

Every one of our dog walkers and pet sitters graduates from our very own Dog Walk University (DWU) – a pawsโ€‘on training program shaped by almost 30 years of realโ€‘life dogโ€‘care knowโ€‘how. And theyโ€™re not out there alone. Behind the scenes, our management team is packed with certified dog behaviorists and professional trainers who geek out on all things canine. When you choose us, youโ€™re picking a crew thatโ€™s trained, certified, and joyfully obsessed with keeping your doggo happy, safe, and living their best life.

TAILORED DOGGO CARE

We tailor every visit to your dogโ€™s individual needs and routines. It all begins with a meetโ€‘andโ€‘greet so we can learn about you, your pup, and what makes them happiest. Together, we design a care plan that supports your dogโ€™s wellโ€‘being and fits your daily rhythm. After each visit, your sitter sends realโ€‘time text updates – complete with photos, a walk map, and notes – so you always know how your pupโ€™s day went.

Dog Walking, Pet Sitting & More

Weekly Walks

We make it easy to keep your pup happy, healthy, and moving each week. Our dog walkers are out and about in Evanston, Skokie, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Northfield, and Winnetkaโ€”giving your dog a trusted human buddy and plenty of tail-wagging adventures along the way.

Add-On Dog Walks

We get it; lifeโ€™s busy and schedules shift. Thatโ€™s why we offer flexible add-on walks that are perfect for those days when your pup could use a little extra sniff time, a potty break, or just a chance to burn off some energy.

Pet Sitting

Heading out of town or just away for the day? Weโ€™re happy to swing by and make sure your pup gets everything they need, such as meals, potty breaks, a little exercise, and plenty of love while youโ€™re gone.

Belly Rubs

Belly rubs are our favorite, and we love to hand them outโ€”always free. Theyโ€™re the best for making humans smile and tails wag.

Kind words from parents

“We love Out-U-Go! The caregivers are so dependable and caring and always make sure Lincoln has plenty of play time! We are an Out-U-Go! family โ€” my daughter uses Out-U-Go! in Denver and used to be an Out-U-Go! pet parent in Madison, WI.”

Pat A.

“I have used Out-U-Go! for house sitting and weekly walks for the past three years. They are an extension of our family and we appreciate the love and care they give our furry family. We donโ€™t know what weโ€™d do without them.”

Amy W.

“We are an Out-U-Go! family and have enjoyed sharing our four-legged family members with the team over the years. The team is highly professional and have always made us feel like our pets were in good hands.”

FAQ's

What areas do you serve?
We provide dog walks throughout Evanston, Skokie, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Northfield, and Winnetka.
How do I book a service?
Fill out the โ€œMore Infoโ€ form above to let us know what kind of pet care youโ€™re looking for โ€“ whether itโ€™s dog walking, cat or dog sitting, or puppy visits. Once weโ€™ve got your basic details, weโ€™ll be in touch to set up a Meet & Greet and get you started.
Can I meet my dog walker beforehand?
Absolutely! We believe every great walk starts with a great connection. Before we start our visits, weโ€™ll coordinate a time for your pupโ€™s primary walker to stop by, introduce themselves, and take some time to get to know your dogโ€™s personality, routine, and needs before the first visit.
How long are walks?
Whether your pupโ€™s up for a quick 25-minute stroll, a 35-minute stretch, a 45-minute outing, or a full 60-minute adventure, weโ€™ve got the perfect walk to match their energy. You choose what fits bestโ€”and weโ€™ll take care of the tail-wagging from there.
Will my dog have the same walker every time?
Consistency matters for your pup to build a great bond with their regular walker. Thatโ€™s always our goal. But life happensโ€”people get sick, schedules shift. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re a team. We communicate and support each other so that when it happens that your dogโ€™s primary walker isnโ€™t available, another member of our team will always be ready to step in and keep tails wagging.
