Lake In The Hills IL Dog Walkers

While Lake in the Hills, Illinois, retains the kind of small Midwestern town feel that attracted most of its residents, the recent growth is undeniable. The population has increased by about one third in the last 10 years, and the average home price in Lake in the Hills is now just short of $290,000. The rapid growth has stretched our infrastructure, and challenged the school system.

Tail Walkers is a dog walking and pet sitting company serving Lake in the Hills, most of McHenry County, and parts of Lake and Kane Counties. We started our business after we were unable to find a reliable dog walking service when we moved back to the area several years ago. After living in Chicago for almost a decade, we had grown to rely on dog walkers to make sure that our pups were cared for when our jobs kept us out of the house all day.

Like the area, our business has thrived for a variety of reasons. First, dog walkers and pet sitters are often seen as a luxury. The growing affluence of Lake in the Hills has meant that more people can afford to hire someone to take care of their dogs when they’re away.

Second, many people have moved to the far northern suburbs to raise a family away from the congestion of Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. The result is that commutes have gotten longer, and it’s not uncommon for dogs to be left alone for ten or more hours. Dogs will certainly make it clear when they need more attention or a bathroom break, and that’s when people go looking for a dog walker.

Finally, our business continues to grow because we are professional, passionate about dogs, and provide a needed service at a fair price. If you live in Lake in the Hills, and you’re leaving your beloved dogs alone too long every day, or if you’re heading out of town and can’t bare the thought of your dogs being caged at a kennel, we’d appreciate the opportunity to talk to you about our dog walking and pet sitting services.
