Try The Urban Tailz Way

Have you worried about if your pet was cared for, or have you not been able to get in touch with anyone to give you an answer? Felt like communication was lacking with your previous pet care company, or it took too long for your pet sitter to send updates?

Urban Tailz uses the Time to Pet© app that provides detailed visit reports and easy chat-like communication all in the convenience of an iPhone or Android app. We believe it is the best dog walking app on the market.

Do you know who’s going to show up to your home to care for your pet(s)? Are there different dog walkers showing up all the time without ever knowing who will be walking your pet(s) on a given day?

Urban Tailz provides the same daily dog walker for your pet(s). If your dog walker ever needs a day off, we will send updates letting you know someone else is coming that day. That way you’re never surprised.

Worried about who has keys to your home at any given moment? Has your pet sitter ever lost your keys? Maybe you’ve been locked out of your home in the past and had to call a locksmith. What if things were easier?

Urban Tailz provides our clients with their own lockbox which can be set with any 4-digit code the client wishes so they have access to their keys at all times. The lockbox is their’s to keep, and we will replace the box free of charge if it breaks.

Providing Pet Care Since 2000

Same Midday Dog Walker

We believe it’s important for our pets to build a bond with their dog walker so we provide the same dedicated dog walker for all daily clients with a minimum 3 day recurring weekly schedule. When your dedicated walker has time off, we will send an alternate walker and update you so there are no surprises for our clients!

Licensed, Bonded, Insured

Urban Tailz is licensed, bonded, and insured to provide pet care services in the city of Chicago. Our staff members are all background checked, and we will never hire anyone with any criminal background. Our dog walkers and cat sitters spend their first week with Urban Tailz going through our specialized pet care training program before they are able to start taking care of our clients’ pets on their own. All of our visits are GPS tracked, and our managers are always keeping a watchful eye on our dog walkers and cat sitters.

Full GPS Tracking

All of our visits are GPS tracked. Our dog walks are fully GPS tracked which can be seen in our instant dog walker visit reports, so our clients can see where their pet(s) and their dog walker went on their walk. Our Cat visits are GPS time-stamped which is viewable in the pet sitter visit report, so our clients can see when and where our pet sitters checked in/out of their pet visit.

Fear Free Certified

Urban Tailz is Fear-Free Certified meaning we're able to give your pet(s) a calming and relaxing experience each visit. Our staff members are trained on specific techniques to help with calming a dog if a dog is ever nervous on their walk or during the visit. Our cat sitters are also trained on alleviating stress for cats who are nervous with strangers.

Convenient Scheduling

Urban Tailz understands that our clients have busy schedules that may change. That's why we provide services for clients with recurring AND occasional ad hoc/ periodic needs. Schedule visits needed through our convenient phone app!

Easy Monthly Billing

Urban Tailz provides easy, automatic billing on a semi monthly billing cadence. All clients must have a valid credit card on file which will be automatically billed from the 1st to the 15th and from the 16th to the end of each month (30th or 31st), inclusive. We never ask our clients to prepay for services.
