Dog Walks and Visits For A Happy and Healthy Dog
As a dog owner, you know that your dog needs exercise, attention, affection, and play/enrichment time, as well as food, fresh water, and sometimes medications too. Puppies and senior dogs need to go out more frequently and may need training reinforcement and/or help due to mobility issues.
Sometimes you may be at work, busy with other activities, or have an illness or injury, and you may not be able to give these breaks. The Dori Tails care team is here to help your dog get the care they need. Dori Tails is reliable and professional. We will go the “extra mile” for your dog’s needs.
Dori Tails provides Dog Walks and Visits in your home 7 days a week, and you can choose 25-minute walks/visits or 50-minute walks/visits. Do you need Overnight Care? We can do that too.
We will talk about your needs in our Free Video Consultation, and we are fully committed to accommodating your special requests and ensuring the comfort and contentment of your dog.
We serve the Northeast Chicago neighborhoods of Rogers Park and West Ridge, as well as the City of Evanston (including “Skevanston”) in the following zip codes:
60201, 60202, 60203, 60204, 60208, 60209, 60626, 60645, 60659
Do You Have More Than One Dog?
The number of dogs we can walk together depends on the weight and energy level of each dog, how leash-trained they are, and how reactive they are to distractions (squirrels, other dogs, etc.). That said, for safety and liability reasons, each dog walker will walk no more than two dogs at a time if they weigh more than 60 lbs each. Let’s talk about your dogs at our Free Consultation and come up with a plan. NOTE: we will only walk dogs together who live in the same household.
