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, we’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 community’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 paws‑on training program shaped by almost 30 years of real‑life dog‑care know‑how. And they’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, you’re picking a crew that’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 dog’s individual needs and routines. It all begins with a meet‑and‑greet so we can learn about you, your pup, and what makes them happiest. Together, we design a care plan that supports your dog’s well‑being and fits your daily rhythm. After each visit, your sitter sends real‑time text updates – complete with photos, a walk map, and notes – so you always know how your pup’s day went.

Add-On Dog Walks

We get it; life’s busy and schedules shift. That’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.

Heading out of town or just away for the day? We’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 you’re gone.

Evanston & the North Shore

We started way back in 1996 with the goal of making tails wag and people smile. In 2009, David, our founder, and his team expanded to include walks for the dogs of Evanston, Skokie, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Northfield, and Winnetka.

Whether you’re working late, juggling errands, or just need an extra hand, Out-U-Go! is here to help. We love making pet parents’ lives a little easier and their pups’ lives a little happier through weekly dog walking, pet sitting, and other helpful pet care services. Our experienced team brings plenty of love, attention, and tail-wagging joy to every visit – so you can count on your dog getting the care they deserve.
