Hi, I’m Jared—a Lincoln Park dog dad, lifelong animal lover, experienced walker, and rescue advocate. For more than a decade, I’ve cared for dogs of every breed, size, age, and temperament across Chicago.

My work with PAWS Chicago, One Tail at a Time, and the Michigan Animal Rescue League shaped the way I care for every dog: with patience, structure, compassion, and respect. In 2017, I was PAWS Chicago’s top overall fundraiser, and I continue to foster, donate, fundraise, and advocate whenever I can.

At home, Sylvia—my affectionate Great Pyrenees mix—and Parker—my energetic Beagle-Terrier mix—keep me grounded, active, and laughing. They inspired Chicago Adventure Pack and the belief behind it: every dog deserves exploration, friendship, fresh air, and a life filled with adventure.

I take time to learn each dog’s routines, favorite games, fears, quirks, energy level, and play style. Whether your dog is outgoing, cautious, young, senior, or somewhere in between, I tailor every outing to help them feel safe, confident, and excited for what comes next.
