Meet the Team

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.

Corrine Z.

Dog Walker Extraordinaire

Born and raised in Chicago’s North Center community, Corrine has always loved animals, but has a special place in her heart for Basset Hounds or the ‘short-legged’ variety! Over the years, she has had 5 of her own Bassets, as well as cared for numerous fosters when she lived in southern California working with Basset rescue organizations. Corrine returned to Chicago a little over two years ago, and finds herself back in the North Center area, feeling like she never left! Having recently lost her 15 year old Basset, Charlie, she has decided to care for the pets of others now, and looks forward to getting to know many new dogs!

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.
