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 towns do you walk in?
We walk dogs throughout Oak Park, River Forest, Forest Park, Elmwood Park and the Galewood area of Chicago.
How do I schedule a visit?
Fill out the Get Started form above to let us know what kind of care youโ€™re looking for. From there, weโ€™ll set up a virtual intro call so we can learn more about your pup and their routine. After that, weโ€™ll arrange a Meet & Greet with your pupโ€™s regular sitter. Once youโ€™ve had that chance to connect, youโ€™ll be all set to schedule walks whenever you need them.
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?
We offer 20, 30, 40, and 60 minute walks. You can choose whatever feels best for you and your pups.
Will my dog have the same walker every time?
Consistency is a big part of helping pups build a great bond with their regular walker – thatโ€™s always what we aim for.

But life happens. People get sick and things come up. Thatโ€™s exactly why we work as a team. Between our support team and our sitters, we all stay in close communication and support each other so that if a pupโ€™s primary walker isnโ€™t available, another teammate can always step in.
