Pets are people too.

We treat yours like ours — and half of all profits go to local animal rescue.

Who we are

Four generations of Chicago pet care

We came home to the north side after three decades away — years spent in San Francisco and Austin, where we dug in deep with the San Francisco SPCA and Austin Pets Alive!, two of the country's most respected animal-welfare organizations. Wherever we've lived, and whatever else we were doing, the animals were always the constant.

Whitney and Jason come with hundreds of references and testimonials — from neighbors, shelters, and years of top-rated work on the pet-service apps. We've rescued dozens of cats and dogs over 35 years; a few of them still run our house.

Now we do this together, on foot and by bike, across the streets, trails, parks, and beaches we know by heart. We give half our profits to local animal rescue, and we stay rooted in causes close to home — because that's the whole point.

We're not an app or a franchise. We're two neighbors who treat every animal like one of our own — because, as far as we're concerned, pets are people too.

What we do

Sits. Walks. Runs.

Sits
Drop-in visits and overnight sitting, so your animals stay home and stay comfortable.
Walks
Daily walks along the lakefront and the neighborhood — reliable, unhurried, on a schedule that suits your pet.
Runs
For the high-energy ones — longer, faster outings to burn off what a walk can't.
Why we do it
Half of all profits go to local animal rescue.

Half of everything we earn goes to local animal rescues — chosen by you. It isn't a feature we tacked on. It's the reason we started.

Felines & Canines
Edgewater · no-kill shelter since 1977. Our own neighborhood, cats and dogs.

Where we walk

A two-mile stretch of the lakefront

We keep our circle small on purpose. Staying close means we know the blocks, the dogs, and the routines — and it lets us get everywhere on foot and by bike.
