Since the Smart Paws family became Smart Paws Chicago LTD (fancy, we know) we've received glowing reviews from our clients. Some might say this is because we only hire dedicated, fun loving dog walkers and require extensive background checks, but we know the people love us for our personal connections with their pets and our reliability. Oh, and our super high tech reporting system reassures clients they're getting nothing short of the highest quality service Chicago has to offer. Yeah, we keep it real here; and that's exactly why they call us "Chicago's most trusted pet service!"
Samuel Hoke, the owner and operator of Smart Paws, grew up in suburbia alongside Beaux, his fluffy and beloved Siberian Husky rescue. When Sam moved to Chicago he immediately understood that caring for a dog in the city can be challenging. Working around little to no yard space, generally smaller homes, and pretty appalling winter weather can make it difficult for pups to get out, move it move it, and shake a tailfeather. So you might be asking, who let the dogs out? That's where we come in!
Are you an extrovert? Do you love dogs? Do you command authority when you walk into a room? Do you wake up every morning and think to yourself, "I'm a winner"? Is your attention to detail so strong you should be an Engineer for Boeing? If you answered yes to all these questions we may have the job for you!
