About

Tailchasers Incorporated is a family owned business established in March 2004 to help pet parents discover, develop, and nurture the bond with their pets. We understand pet owners have to be away from home for work or travel, so Tailchasers Incorporated created a service to provide the same nurturing environment to pets while their owners are away.

We've been having Tailchasers in our house to walk our cockapoo puppy since she was 12 weeks old. She is over 6 months now and it's the best decision we ever could have made. They have a thorough background check of all of their dog walkers. They are very reliable. It is faster to contact them with questions or scheduling changes by email rather than phone. They are about $20 per visit. At the end of each visit you get an email with what they did, a GPS tracking diagram of where they went and a detailed paragraph on the visit. It's really obvious from the walker's description how much she likes our puppy and enjoys the visits. She also has put in any concerns and cleans up any mess as best as possible. She even taught our puppy how to play catch!  Our puppy is a happy puppy due to Tailchasers and that makes this dog momma happy too. More...

I like how one person primarily walks my dog. He gets to know them and is comfortable with them. My dog walker has actually come to my rescue by coming for an emergency pet visit when my alternate accommodation fell through. They've always gone above and beyond for me and my dog. More...

My wife and I recently went out of the area for a week. Based on reviews we contacted Tailchasers to discuss checking in on our cat. We set up a consultation with the owner and it went well so we decided to move forward. One of their staff, Kim, stopped by the house twice a day provided care, medication, food, play, and litter box cleaning. We also received emails each visit with photos and a summary of the visit. I can not thank Tailchasers enough for the great service they provide. We will definitely use again in the future and would recommend to anyone who needs care for their pets. More...

Great service and flexibile when required. We’ve been using the service for over two months. Our big puppy looks forward to Ravi’s visits, and the application the service uses provides complete visibility to what they have done (including daily pictures). We’ve also been able to update the days we utilize the service, including the same day, when circumstances change. Communication is great - we can send a note in the morning and the comments from the walk include observations related to any concerns we have (e.g. puppy had a vaccine the night before and might not be feeling perfect). Overall - a great service which keeps our puppy better behaved by getting him outside during the school day. More...

This is one of the best companies I've ever found. Matt and Randa are extremely professional and know dogs. For the last five months, I have had a daily dog walker come and spend time with my two dogs. I haven't had a single issue with doors being left unlocked or the dogs not being treated well. The systems they have in place are well-thought out and they deliver on their promises. Great company. More...

I can’t say enough good things about Tailchasers; they treat our dogs like family, and they have given us peace of mind when we travel. Especially with two aging dogs, with big personalities. Our dogs take two walks a week with Erin, and they love it. I really enjoy getting the updates at the end of each visit with a picture, it’s nice to know our dogs are in trusted care. Thanks TailChasers! More...

Tailchasers is great.Matt came over to the house to help us decide on chosing him for watching our dogs.  That alone is a big decision when you think of your dogs as family. He stayed for about an hour answering all of our questions and going through our routine with us.  He and his company are very thorough and good at what they do.  I felt I could trust him and his staff to come into our house without us being home.When they are done with the visit you get an email with all of the notes from the visit and sometimes you get pictures as well of the dogs playing.This allowed us to go out late on a weekend night.  We plan on using them in the future.

So far tailchasers has been fantastic! We had to find a sitter for our cat fairly last minute, but the guys at tailchasers were able to come by for a visit, meet our dog and cat and go over what they do. Essentially they come in feed your pets, walk-play with your pets and check up on your house. All for a affordable price. And all their employees are background checked and screened so you don't feel un-easy about giving access to your home.This is a great option if you have pets who don't do well when boarded as they can relax and stay in the comfort of there own home. And you can schedule how many visits you want with varying time frames all from their website. We have used them only a few times but plan on continuing using the service. More...

The caregivers from Tailchasers take such excellent care of our dogs! Cali & Kaner can be quite a handful, but Matt and Randa have an excellent system that allows you to to provide exact instructions for your pets' needs and to know exactly who is caring for your pets and when. Lindsey is absolutely amazing with Cali & Kaner and sends the sweetest, most informative emails about every single visit. She truly loves our dogs and we're so lucky to have her and the other amazing caregivers Tailchasers employs. They don't just walk your dog - they'll feed them, administer medicine, give them playtime, send pictures & videos, even care for your home. Can't recommend them highly enough. :) More...

Love, love, love everyone at TailChasers! Liz has been amazing with our dogs! They love when she comes for a visit and to take them for a walk. I feel like our dogs & home are secure when I have them come visit. They will bring packages in. Owners Randa and Matt Clark are easy to work withAnd their prices competitive. The scan into your house so you are immediately notified that they are there. When they check out you get a summary of what they did on that visit and any notes, and then you also get another notification when they scan out and leave your house. Can't say enough good things about them! More...

Tailchasers provides us with a great sense of comfort when my husband travels for work.  We have 2 dogs, one is a recent adoption and is having issues being introduced to new people. Our dog walker, Andrew shows such professionalism and patience when dealing with the new pup. I love the email updates on how the walk went - his writing is always very witty, well-written and sincere. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a dog walker in the Northwest Suburbs. More...

After moving to the area, I researched a number of doggy day cares and dog walking services. After contacting and receiving a visit from Tail Chasers, I had no doubt this was the company for me. They were prompt with responses, professional, and accommodating. I have been using their services 3 times a week for the past 6 months. Their QR check in and out system allows me to know when my dog walker has arrived and departed. Having cameras at home, I was a bit skeptical at first, so I'd check often during the visit. Erin, my dog walker was nothing less than patient, caring, and loving. She cleans up the crates as needed, feeds, walks, and plays with the pups during every visit. After watching her a few times and having been home here and there during her visits, I have no doubt the pups love her. They are super excited to see Erin EVERY time. She even brings hem treats from time to time. When I've had to cancel or add a walk last minute, Randa has been extremely accommodating. Will continue to use their services and would recommend to anyone interested. More...

I have had a great experience with Tailchasers so far.  If you want to try them, purchase the Yelp deal.  I did not do that! TJ is Boscoe's walker, and he comes at periodic intervals throughout the month when I have to work really long days or take short trips out of town.  TJ leaves me great summaries about his adventures with Boscoe and I love reading about what they did during the visit.  Boscoe just wants someone to pet him endlessly; and then go for a walk.  TJ obliges.TJ brings in packages and has even brought in my garbage cans for me (!!!) which I really appreciate.  Its those little extra touches that make all the difference when you have a service come into your house.The scheduling process has been really easy.  Randa has been great when I email, particularly in the beginning when I was paranoid about the walker showing up.  My previous walker I pre-paid and he just failed to show up for work and walked off with a month of wages.  But, Tailchasers is very trustworthy and they are in business for the betterment of your pet.  I highly recommend them!

I can't say enough how thankful I am to have found this company!  They take the time to come meet you and your pets.  They care about them as the owners do, not as a task to be completed.  The use of technology via the QR codes to let the owners know when the sitters arrive, what they do while they're there, and when they leave is SO helpful--and a relief when you're traveling.  Jonathan did an excellent job with our three cats, and he left comments each time he came in, so we knew exactly what was going on.  We will definitely use their service again!

Over the past year and a half we have had 2 great walkers from Tailchasers take care of Sam. Since we have cameras installed in the house we have been able to see the walkers (Janet and Andrew) take great care of our pup and give him lots of affection. Tailchasers also now has a new QR system that send you an email when the walker comes and leaves so you know exactly when the walkers are at your house. The walkers also leave digital notes that get emailed as well. This a great new system that not only provides important information to the pet parents but also makes you feel good about dealing with a professional business. More...

Allison is amazing! She is great with my 3 dogs. One of them has pulmonary hypertension, so we're constantly monitoring her and adjusting her medications. Allison advises me when she notices any changes in exercise tolerance or behavior, and always takes great care to ensure she's comfortable. She also balances this with the other two dogs, and makes sure they don't get a shorter walk or less attention. I get billed on time, always correctly, and appreciate the flexibility that Tailchasers offers when I have unexpected work travel or evening commitments, and need a dinner feeding/walk. I have recommended TC to family and other friends in the neighborhood. More...

Tailchasers is truly amazing, and are absolutely the best dog sitters we have found. Not only do they send you an email when your sitter arrives and leaves your home, but they also send comments about what happened during the visit so you can be sure your pets are being cared for. They offer almost any service you could possible want, and the staff have perfect dispositions for pets (my dogs were instantly at ease the moment they met both Matt, the owner, and our sitter, Mallory). On top of all that, Matt made an excellent recommendation for a harness so I could break my dogs of their habit of pulling during walks. I am able to walk both dogs by myself for the first time ever without worrying about them choking or breaking free, and I have Tailchasers to thank for that! If you are looking for a trustworthy, caring, easy-to-use, top-quality sitter, Tailchasers is the only way to go! More...

I cannot say enough about the amazing service that is Tailchasers!!! After a stressful experience this spring with another firm "accidentally" letting my indoor-only cat get outside, and stay there overnight, it became apparent that I needed someone new and that I could fully trust.  Matt, the owner, came by for a meet and greet.  He was delightful and asked really specific questions about my cat and her needs, even things like "which toys are her favorites to play with?"  I felt really great after meeting him!  Next, I met my sitter Eric, another amazing guy.  I just had my first full week away, and he kept me up to date via text, took care of getting my mail and even swept the floor daily.....something I don't even do!!  I feel so great now knowing that my cat is well cared for while I am away.  Call Tailchasers....you won't be sorry!!!!

When my husband was going to be out of state for an extended three month period, and I work long hour daily, I needed a reliable service for walking my dog Jake in the afternoons. I was impressed immediately with the in home visit where they gathered all information about my pup - where his treats, food leashes, towels etc were located. I was also impressed with the flexibility that they offered - if I were to have a later than expected day, they could come for a second visit. While that doesn't happen often, knowing I have options gives me peace of mind. Another important thing to me was knowing that they are bonded. I found Tailchasers to be more than reliable - they are professional, friendly, and most importantly Jake, my pup is well cared for and happy. I love the daily report and the extra notes and presents I come home to see (for instance: "Jake went to the groomer I see - looks great!", or "gave Jake extra TLC and played today"). Jake received a stuffed toy for Christmas, and healthy cookies for a Halloween treat :-)The only improvements that I could see to their services would be offering customers (1)GPS tracked walks, (2) improvements to website scheduling services and (3) crate free boarding services. I highly recommend Tailchasers and I think if Jake could talk, he would too! More...

I wish I'd wrote a review sooner because I am sure I'm forgetting good points to mention, but in a nutshell: I love Tailchasers. In late February/March, I went out of town on business for nearly 3 weeks. I contacted Tailchasers to look after my cat, Lennon, while I was away. They were very responsive and had someone out to visit Lennon and I the next day. I met with Matt who was friendly, informative, and really responsive. I told him everything I needed and he went back to the office and populated my profile on their site - that's it. I didn't have to do anything else! Jamie was the cat sitter looking after Lennon; she was great! She sent me text messages every day she visited Lennon, and even contacted me to let me know when my power went out for a few days. She was so good to Lennon, playing with him and giving him lots of love. She also left me notes of Lennon's day and time spent with her. I could really tell that Jamie cared about Lennon, not just as a client, but as a pet and a member of my family. Sadly, shortly after my trip, I moved to the city and out of the limits of Tailchasers. I highly recommend Tailchasers to everyone! More...

Q&As

I love the people I get to work with everyday. Our staff are incredibly dedicated to animals, and their passion is amazing. Our clients' pets are so excited to see us everyday, and I love being able to provide love and attention to them while their owners are at work or on vacation. Animals teach us so much about life everyday!

After I attended dog training school, I wanted to spend all of my time with animals. I started Tailchasers Incorporated to fill a need for pets whose owners are traveling or at work for the day. I have a passion for animals, and I hope my training and experience can help people have a better relationship with their pets.

My husband and I both run Tailchasers full time. We are not a hobby company that may not be here in the future. Our staff members are employees unlike other companies who use independent contractors. You can feel confident knowing our staff are trained and certified in pet first aid to be prepared when your pet needs them most. Our check in software lets you know right away that your pet sitter has been at your home. We also have managers checking in on all visits to make sure all pets are cared for in a timely manner. Our reliability and quality can't be beat!
