Ready to get your dog moving? Call our Wilmette team at (844) 474-9663 to schedule your complimentary in-home consultation and get started.

What Regular Walks Do for Your Dog

Daily exercise isn’t optional for most dogs. It supports healthy weight, joint mobility, and cardiovascular health, and it reduces destructive behaviors (chewing, excessive barking, restlessness) that build up when energy has nowhere to go. For dogs home alone during work hours, a midday walk also provides the social interaction and companionship that matters as much as the physical activity itself.

A consistent walk schedule helps owners, too. When your dog has already been out and is settled, you can run errands or stay late at work without guilt. Puppies, adults, and seniors all benefit from regular walking, though the right frequency and duration depends on age, breed, and energy level. We account for all of that.

How Our Dog Walking Service Works

We built our process around one goal: helping your dog be cared for by someone they know and trust, while you stay informed every step of the way.

In-Home Consultation

Every new client starts with a complimentary in-home consultation. A representative visits your home to learn your dog’s routine, behavior, preferences, and any special instructions, and to match them with the right walker.

Meet & Greet

If you’d like your dog to meet their walker before the first visit, we offer an optional Meet & Greet at your home. This comes with a fee to ensure your dog walker is compensated for their time, and it’s a great way to build confidence before day one.

Tailored Walk Schedule

You choose the frequency and duration that fits your life. Daily, weekly, or occasional walks are all available. Same-day bookings may be accommodated when available.

Trusted, Experienced Dog Walkers

Every walker on our team is background-checked and insured. They’re experienced with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including high-energy puppies and dogs that need a gentler, slower pace.

Digital Updates

After every walk, you’ll receive a visit report through the Woofie’s mobile app with notes, photos, and GPS tracking. You can see exactly where your dog went and how the visit went.

Consistent Care

We strive to send the same walker for every visit. Consistency builds the kind of bond and routine that can help your dog feel comfortable and your household run smoothly.

Daytime Dog Walks: What’s Included

Our Daytime Dog Walks are available in 15, 20, or 30-minute visits. Every visit includes exercise, playtime, water bowl refreshing, waste removal, and plenty of TLC. Scheduling is flexible: daily, weekly, or occasional, whatever works for you.

Holiday Schedule: Additional surcharges apply per visit on major holidays, and every dollar of that surcharge goes directly to your dog walker. Holidays covered include New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday, and Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Additional fees may apply for households with multiple dogs or extra-large dogs.
