Gretchen has been walking pups with us for nearly a year now. She is best friend to many a pup in Oak Park!
My Furry Family: Two silly pugs, Gus & Lulu!
Favorite Animal (besides pups & kitties, of course!): “Moo!” Cows 🙂
Favorite Game: Pounce, the card game.
Best Gift Ever: Pair of Doc Martens!
My superpower would be: Super speed!
Life Philosophy: Enjoy your life…don’t waste it wishing you had someone else’s!
Many of you know her! She is a dog walking, kitty scratching, house sitting extraordinaire!
We just celebrated our second year anniversary with this fantastic lady on our staff. I know I speak for everyone when I say THANK YOU for these incredible two years!
Meet the Baroness Elsa Von Doodle, one of my favorite dogs…..EVER. She has a royal lineage and expects to be treated accordingly.
When her mom gets the salad spinner out, she comes a-runnin’! The baroness likes nothing better than sitting near the dinner table daintily munching her organic lettuce leaves!

Big Wags!
When you see us out in your neighborhood, you have probably noticed that no matter how much we love movin’ & shakin’ on our walks, we can’t help but stop and sniff the May flowers with your pups. With blossoms in bloom, we get to thinking about how much we love our furry kiddos and all the love they give us back (usually in the form of sloppy kisses and wiggly behinds!).
In honor of this special bond, we’re on Facebook & Twitter celebrating National Pet Month! We’re sharing some surprising benefits that our four-legged family members offer us, in addition to top tips for humans to further better the lives of our beloved furbabies. Get in on the conversation!
I’m in charge of: Being your pet’s best friend who they think you know nothing about! I am the giver of all things wonderful. Walks, treats, love…Oh my!
My furry family:
Best thing ever: Coconut anything!
Hidden Talent: Parallel parking. Composing and singing songs for my pets and yours! Planning and hosting themed parties.
Life Philosophy: You get what you give. Also: if it feels good, do it twice!
Mr. Flik, one of our newest buddies in the South Loop & Hyde Park neighborhood, is a blind pup but the most courageous explorer we’ve ever met! We are so lucky to be the Clark to this Captain Lewis of a little peanut!
Flik is like a mini-navigator although he cannot see. Remember the games you used to play where someone would give instructions to their partner who wasn’t able to see? That’s what we do with him! We tell him when to turn, what’s coming toward him, and lead him to his potty destination.
If that weren’t fun enough, we get to see the faces of the passerby as we say, “Flik, you are approaching mulch.” It’s pretty awesome in a very ridiculous way. Our gang has shared stories about our time with him and all of them end in fits of laughter!
Welcome to the Pack, Flik!
