CHICAGOFOUR LIFE

60640

Dogs that run.
Cats that ride.
Four Life.

Lake miles for the dogs that a walk doesn’t touch. Stroller loops for cats who already go out. Sits and meds when that’s the day. Half of every fee goes to rescue.

Meet Jason & Whitney

What we do.

The unusual work first. The everyday work after.

Dog running

Your pooch sets the pace and the stride, with rest stops respected whenever they're needed.

Some of ours have basically invented HIIT — dead sprint, then a full stop to inspect a hedge.

We'll hop in Lake Michigan right alongside them — Foster, Hollywood, Montrose, or wherever you already like to take them.

DFA tags run about ten bucks through the city — happy to sort one out if you're new to the area or just want an assist.

Stroller rides

The living room window (aka “Kitty TV”) becomes an immersive, interactive experience. Stroller outings for cats who already go out — their usual route, their pace, as long as they want it.

Tell us which blocks have their favorite nest and buddies. We go where they want to go.

Sits + walks

Most of what we do is the everyday stuff. A walk while you're at work. A drop-in at lunch. Someone in the house over a long weekend.

Dogs get to stretch their legs, sniff tests on the block, and catch or fetch in the parks and beaches — all in line with their routine, or whatever you ask of us. Cats get wand play, brushing and lap time. We usually spend most of our sits on the floor on all fours too :)

Photos and a short recap after every visit. If anything seems off — a bowl that didn't get touched, a limp that wasn't there Tuesday — you'll hear from us immediately.

Meds.

  • Pills, inhalers, shots
  • Fluids, insulin, wound care, post‑op
  • Specialized and prescription diets

We’re both certified in pet first aid and CPR. It’s the part of the job you hope is a waste of time.

The map is small.

Hollywood Beach down to Montrose, inland to Western — that’s the whole map. We know just about every alley, cut-through, park and quiet stretch of beach inside those lines. Keeping it this tight means we’re minutes from your door.

Edgewater, Uptown, Ravenswood, Buena Park. Nearby? Ask. The lake, the cut-throughs, the parks you already use.

Jason &
Whitney.

Three cats at home. Yours get the rest of the week.

First step is a meet.

If we’re the right pair, write.

Out 6am–8pm. Messages when we can answer them.

Dog, cat, run, sit, meds — only if you want. We can ask.

Add your name and one way to reach you.

Almost there.
