Matt Jacobs
Founder/Manager & Dog Walker
Hello neighbor! I'm Matt, the proud owner of Chicago Doggo. Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, I moved to Chicago in 2018 and instantly fell in love with the city's energy and diversity. With a passion for dogs, I found my calling as a dog walker, exploring everything from downtown sidewalks to the lakeshore with wagging tails and boundless joy.
Starting Chicago Doggo was a natural progression of my love for dogs and my degree in business. My mission is to provide personalized, reliable, and loving care for the pups of Chicago. I'm so grateful to be part of this vibrant community and thrilled to call Chicago home.
Alex G.
Dog Walker Extraordinaire
A Texas transplant, Alex has lived in the Lincoln Square community for seven years. She grew up with pets her whole life, including several dogs and a gecko named Ozzie. Her current dogs, Louie and Clark, inspired her to become a dog walker after working in the tech industry. Alex is an outdoor enthusiast, so you may see her running or biking through the neighborhood (please stop her and say hi!). She loves being active, building community, and enjoys working with dogs of all breeds.
Grace H.
Dog Walker Extraordinaire
Grace lives in Lincoln Square and has been a dog-lover ever since she was a little girl. When her family rescued their first dog, a beagle named Charlie, she was hooked. Since then, she has loved plenty of pups, including Dixie, who she sadly said goodbye to last December. She found herself missing that unconditional dog love in her life and dog walking seemed like a great way to get her fill. So, following an indirect path through the advertising and design industry, she has landed at Chicago Doggo. She has quickly fallen in love with all of the doggos.

Charlie Y.
Dog Walker Extraordinaire
Charlie’s been around animals his entire life, his mother being involved in dog shows and rescues. He now finds himself the proud owner of two cats. He’s very outgoing around pets and rather resourceful. Observing and interpreting animal behaviorism is one of his passions. He’s been working as a dog walker/animal care personnel for the past six years and in that time they’ve taught him just as much as he’s taught them.
