Jared’s Dog Walking and All Day Adventures

I'm so glad we found Jared's Dog Walking and All Day Adventures--Jared has been an absolute godsend. We recently moved from the suburbs to the city, and our Boxer-Beagle mix (Gracie) was struggling a little with the move, feeling a lot more unsettled and a little down. Jared's all day adventures have cheered her right up. After 2 weeks of his fun adventures, she's right back to normal, feeling SO MUCH calmer and happier. And I give Jared ALL the credit for this. It just warms my heart when I see his many photo and video updates while they're out on their adventures and I can see her having so much fun running around with her new pack of friends. I have to admit, sometimes I feel jealous that she's out there having the time of her life while I'm stuck at my desk working! And she's seen way more of the great Chicago outdoors than I have! This is a little pricier than we used to have to pay for doggie daycare, but well worth the money. It's so much more enriching and your dog will get SUCH personalized attention and love from Jared. He truly is a wonderful soul. And sometimes they're tired out for two days after a big adventure! Highly, highly recommend his services. He's always responsive and on-time and really caring.

Jared is great! Our dog, Arlo, seems to love him and we are so grateful for his adventure days. We call it the "Jared effect" when she comes home from a whole day with him and is exhausted. He's easy to communicate with, keeps us updated on Arlo throughout the day, and his services are reasonably priced for what we get: a happy dog! We were previously sending her to an indoor daycare, which she really seemed to dislike so we are so glad that we found Jared.

Jared has been great with helping take care of my animals when I've gone out of town. Jared also organizes dog adventure days, and my husky Crash loves going on these and playing with his doggo friends! Highly recommend, Jared is communicative and the pricing structure is fair. Plus the peace of mind knowing that my dog is well taken care of is priceless!

Jared’s Dog Walking and All Day Adventures has been a complete game‑changer for our pup, Walter! From the very first meet‑and‑greet, it was clear that Jared brings an incredible mix of professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals. Our dog lights up the moment Jared arrives — tail wagging, paws dancing, completely thrilled for the day ahead. The "All Day Adventures" are truly that: real adventures. Walter comes home happy, exercised, mentally stimulated, and wonderfully tired (the good kind of tired!). Jared captures the best moments throughout the day with photos and updates, which gives us total peace of mind and lets us feel like we’re part of the fun. What sets Jared apart is the level of care and attention he gives every single dog. He learns each dog’s personality, quirks, and preferences, and tailors the day to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and having a blast. It’s rare to find someone who treats your dog like family — but that’s exactly what Jared does. Reliable, communicative, trustworthy, and truly passionate about what he does. If you’re looking for someone who will give your dog the absolute best day ever, Jared’s Dog Walking and All Day Adventures is the perfect match. Highly recommend!

If you’re looking for a dog walker who will completely outshine you in your own dog’s eyes… look no further. Ever since hiring Jared, my dog Klaus has been living a better social life than we do. We’re talking full-on day adventures — hikes, sniffaris, probably secret dog parties we are not invited to. My dog comes home smiling (yes, smiling), exhausted, and looking at us like, "You guys again?" At this point, we’re just the people who pay the bills and open the door. He’s the real MVP. 10/10 would recommend — just be prepared for your dog to think you’re incredibly boring afterwards.

Started working with Jared after moving to the city, and it has been such a great experience. We switched from indoor daycare to the all day Adventure Days, and my dog Buddy is loving it so much more. He comes home completely tired, sleeps great, and is clearly getting the exercise and stimulation he needs. You can tell Jared genuinely cares about the dogs and makes sure they have a fun, active day. Jared is trustworthy and is best with communicating. So happy we made the switch!

It has been amazing finding Jared and his Adventure Days for our Small Munsterlander Herman. Jared loves dogs; the care and attention he provides really shows. Herman goes on two to three all-day adventures each week with a well-matched group of dogs in dog-friendly areas. Jared sends regular updates in the WhatsApp chat, including videos, so we can see how much fun Herman is having. He always comes home happy, content, and completely exhausted. Jared also recently organized a happy hour to bring together clients and their dogs, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch. It really shows the sense of community he’s building. Herman is a high-energy hunting breed, and Jared provides exactly the kind of activity and stimulation he needs. Jared is always prompt and communicates clearly about pickup and drop-off. I’ve already recommended him to several friends and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog.
