The Leader of the Pack Since 1996

Expert care for your best friend, right here in Oak Park.

Why Pups (and Parents) Pick Us!

REAL LOVE, LOCAL ROOTS

We got our start right here in Oak Park back in 1996, dreamed up by thirdโ€‘generation Oak Parkers who grew up loving this community – and its pups. Nearly 30 years later, weโ€™re still out there every day, walking, visiting, and showering Oak Park doggos with love. Caring for our neighborsโ€™ pups isnโ€™t just what we doโ€ฆitโ€™s what makes us wag.

BONE-AFIDE EXPERTS

Every dog walker and pet sitter on our team is a proud graduate of Dog Walk University (DWU) – our pawsโ€‘on training program powered by nearly 30 years of realโ€‘world dogโ€‘care wisdom. Our behindโ€‘theโ€‘scenes brain trust includes certified dog behaviorists and professional trainers who know a ton about all things canine and help support our whole pack. When you hand us your furry family member, youโ€™re choosing a team thatโ€™s trained, certified, and joyfully dedicated to doggo happiness and wellโ€‘being.

TAILORED DOGGO CARE

All of our care is individualized to your dogโ€™s unique needs. We start with a meetโ€‘andโ€‘greet to get to know you and your pup, then work together to build a visit routine that keeps everyone happy and healthy. After each visit, your sitter sends realโ€‘time text updates with photos, a walk map, and notes from your time together – so you always feel connected to your pupโ€™s day.

Professionally Trained

Every team member is a graduate of our very own Dog Walk University.

Bonded and Insured

Weโ€™ve got it covered. Insured well above industry standards.

100% Scrapdog Guarantee

All our visits done with the same love, care, and attention that we provide our own pets.

Dog Walking, Pet Sitting & More

Weekly Walks

Weโ€™ll head out with your pup on a consistent schedule for a tail-wagging walk. Itโ€™s a great way for them to enjoy fresh scents, explore the neighborhood, and spend time with a trusted human companion.

Add-On Dog Walks

We know your schedule can shift from week to week. Thatโ€™s why we offer add-on walks, perfect for those days when your pup needs a little extra time outside for sniffing, stretching, and a quick potty break.

Pet Sitting

When youโ€™re away and your furry family stays home, weโ€™ll swing by to make sure theyโ€™re well cared for โ€“ with meals, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love to keep them happy and comfortable until youโ€™re back.

Belly Rubs

We know your dogโ€™s favorite spot: their bellies! And belly rubs are always free.

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 Oak Park, River Forest, Forest Park, Elmwood Park, and Galewood.

How do I book a service?

Just fill out the โ€œMore Infoโ€ form below to let us know what type of furry family care you are looking for – from dog walks to cat or dog sitting, or even puppy check-ins. Once we have your info, weโ€™ll reach out to schedule a Meet & Greet and get things rolling.

Can I meet my dog walker beforehand?

Definitely! We know that a strong bond makes every walk better. Before we begin visits, weโ€™ll schedule a time for your dogโ€™s dedicated walker to come by, say hello, and spend a little time learning about your pupโ€™s routine, personality, and care needs. Itโ€™s all part of making sure things start off on the right paw.

How long are walks?

Whether your dogโ€™s in the mood for a short 20-minute walk, a 30-minute cruise, a 40-minute jaunt, or a full-on 60-minute adventure, weโ€™ve got options to match their energy and routine. You pick the pace that works best, and weโ€™ll handle the tail wags and happy steps from there.

Will my dog have the same walker every time?
Consistency helps your pup build trust and a strong connection with their regular walker – and thatโ€™s always our aim. But life throws curveballs. Illness, schedule changes, unexpected hiccups. Thatโ€™s why we are firm believers that teamwork makes the dream work. We stay in close communication and support one another, so if your dogโ€™s usual walker isnโ€™t available, another familiar and caring member of our team will always be ready to step in and keep the tail wags coming.
