Real walks, on routes your dog already knows
Chicago dogs need real walks, daily, on routes the dog already knows, with someone who can read leash language and adjust to weather, traffic, and other dogs on the sidewalk. Petme dog walkers across Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, Lakeview, Logan Square, and every other major Chicago neighborhood handle 30 to 60 minute walks: bathroom breaks, neighborhood loops, park visits when timing works, and reliable photo updates after every walk.
Petme charges Chicago pet owners 0% commission. The per-walk rate you agree with the walker is the full price, no platform fees on top. Every booking automatically includes up to $20,000 in vet protection during the walk window. Cashback compounds with every completed walk.
