Josi’s Paw Dog Walking

Jenn walked Angüs for 3 years from the time he was a 6 month old whippersnapper to a full-​fledged adult. On my own hunt for a walker, I wanted someone dedicated to positivity as well as a person truly in love and in harmony with the canine community. Jenn is always cheery, flexible, and trustworthy. It was a big loss when she migrated from San Francisco and some days he still sits by the window whimpering for his pack. We miss Jenn but appreciate all she did in helping both me and he live less stressful, positive lives!

Jenn (owner of Josi’s Paw) has been walking my miniature schnauzer for a couple of months now. You can tell she really cares about your dog, always responds promptly when I contact her, and she’s completely reliable. I also appreciate that she’s the only one who walks the dogs & feel very comfortable with her coming into my home when she’s gone. She always leaves a little note describing the walk which is nice! I highly recommend her!

New to Chicago — a San Francisco transplant. Jenn, the owner of Josie’s is phenomenal. Wonderful personal touch and a great addition to the Chicago dog scene!

Jenn is the best. She has been our cat sitter for the past two years and I trust her entirely. It is such a special gift to have someone that you can call on short notice and ask them to not only care for an elderly, needy cat but rely on them to do whatever is necessary to keep your home running while you are away (one time I forgot to ask her to take out garbage bins and she remembered our garbage day and took them out– we have two young daughters and lots of diapers and this was a huge deal for us). Jenn is organized, quick to respond, reliable, trustworthy, pays attention to details, and passionate about all animals. We will miss her. Your pet will be thrilled you hired her!

Jenn has been walking Hana since we moved to the city. Jenn is professional, courteous, great with dogs and always smiling. Hana loves Jenn and I know she will miss her.

We’ve been very happy with Jenn’s dogwalking. She is genuinely concerned about the wellbeing of our senior dog, very reliable and trustworthy. We will be sad when she leaves for Chicago!

Jenn is a very personable and accommodating dog walker. She took great care of my dog and I would recommend her.

Jenn was a great dog walker and is an awesome person — Sadie (my chi-​mix dog) loved her, and it’s always been clear just how much she cares about the dogs that she walks every day. We were very sorry to see her move out of SF.

Jenn is everything you could ask for in a dog walker. She is 100% reliable, an excellent communicator and she loves, loves, loves her furry clients. I will miss her cute (and informative) daily notes that reassure us our little terrier got her midday walk and potty break. Jenn is a treasure and Jammy will miss her!

I can honestly say if you are looking for a dog walker, Jenn at Josi’s Paw is the best you’re going to find! Not only is Jenn trustworthy and reliable just as a professional, she has a loving passion for all dogs. This type of dedication does not come around often, and it shows in the quality of her services. She is easy to talk to, comes to walks prepared with leashes, gives your pup a tasty treat after the walk (as long as you approve), leaves a note letting you know what/​where they went for the day, and occasionally sends you pictures of your dog’s walk. The pictures of my dog with all of her friends truly made my heart melt!
Jenn has been walking my dog, Dani, for 2 years now, and choosing her as my dog walker is one of the best decisions I’ve made in that time. Thank you Jenn for all that you’ve done! Dani and I are going to miss you so much!

When I was looking for a dog walker I wanted someone who would walk our dogs on-​leash, and Jenn was the only person I could find! She’s very professional, easy to work with, courteous, extremely responsible and is willing to help you out in a pinch. I highly recommend hiring Jenn!

We found Jenn 4 days after we had moved to the city and she has been walking our Jack Russell, Pixie, ever since.
Jenn provides a great service, is punctual, trustworthy and extremely kind. For me, the fact that I have someone who is reliable and is loved by my dog is immensely important and gives me peace of mind when I’m at work.
Jenn is a real gem and we’ll be sorry when she leaves SF (we haven’t told Pixie yet)

Jenn walked my puppy, who had previously been walked off leash, during his recovery from a surgery a few months ago for about a month. She was flexible, didn’t mind that it was temporary for his recovery, and was very communicative and reliable on walk days. I also have an irregular schedule which she had no problem accommodating. Recently, my dog has become ill again and this time is unable to walk much at all. He again couldn’t go out with his regular off-​leash walkers and I turned to Jenn. She has been able to fit in 1 – 2 potty breaks a day (on almost no notice as his illness was sudden) for my little guy and has also given him medication if I leave it out for her. Not only so, but when she thought his condition looked worse one day she called me right away and was worried as if he were her own. Additionally, she has texted a few times on non-​walk days to check in on his progress-​her concern is absolutely genuine. I feel lucky that she came into our lives and she has made two of the most difficult times in my little one’s short life easier with both the reliable and flexible services she provides and the genuine care and concern she has shown.

I wholeheartedly recommend Jenn for your dog-​walking needs. Not only do the cute notes informing us of the day’s activities (how many #1’s and/​or #2’s, where they walked, and with who) make me feel warm and fuzzy, but Jenn is incredibly professional, flexible, affordable, and I can tell she truly cares about dogs. She even goes so far as to bring a harness because our little guy likes to pull and we haven’t gotten around to getting one of our own yet.
Although Magnus is the type of dog to fall in love with any human/​animal/​creature that isn’t aggressively trying to eat him, I can tell he really likes Jenn a lot. She’s definitely the highlight for him on those days we’re gone for 12 hours at a time.
Hooray for Josi’s Paw and Jenn!

After our dog Oliver’s cruciate ligament knee surgery, we needed a more personalized dog-​walker to accomodate his slightly slower pace and shorter distance requirements. No more jumping in and out of doggie vans! We wanted a reliable dog-​walker who would be willing to take Oliver on daily walks to nearby Dolores Park.
Jenn was our answer! Jenn is a reliable and trust-​worthy dog-​walker with very reasonable rates and is a true dog-​lover. She is flexible and willing to work with our schedules and always communicates openly about any schedule changes. She also nicely leaves a daily note to let us know whether Oliver did a «1» or a «2»! BTW, Oliver is a 92 pound akita mix and he always looks forward to his walks with Jenn.

Jenn provides an excellent service! Our rescue pup, Riley, loves her visits, and she always leaves a little note for us as to what time she came by. We can really count on her, and she always lets us know when something may come up and is easily flexible around our everchanging schedules. Jenn is highly recommended to anyone in the Potrero area that may need some extra help with their four legged friends. Her rates are also very reasonable in comparison to other dog-​walking services out there. :-)

Jenn provides a reliable dog walking service and my Bernese Mt. Dog eagerly awaits her arrival every day. Jenn is conscientious, flexible, easy-​going and loves dogs. What else can you ask for?

We recently moved to Potrero Hill and needed a new walker for our «senior adopted» Leroy (11 years). After a few mis-​matched walkers, we discovered Jenn of Josi’sPaw. She is very professional in her dog walking service.
She is very responsible and calls if she has an unexpected schedule conflicts, communications with us by «daily activity» personal notes and is very trustworthy. Leroy looks forward to his walks with Jenn and we highly recommend her to anyone for dog walking.

Finding a dog walker is really difficult. This is a person who is going to be coming into your home when you’re not there, taking your dogs out into the city, keeping them safe and making the choices you would want them to make about all the little things that come up day to day.
Jenn makes all of that go away! I can trust her to make all the correct decisions and keep my boys not only safe but happy. They love their ‘pack’ of friends, their doggie adventures and Jenn. I love getting to ask them what they did with their friends today and reading the note Jenn always leaves when I get home!
Other awesome things about Jenn include: really open communication (for example changes to your dogs routine), flexible, and most importantly — she really, really cares about our friends and family in fur pants.

My daughter and I recently moved to Potrero Hill and found Jenn. She’s been walking Buddy now for 2 weeks and WE LOVE HER!
She leaves me notes so I know exactly how Buddy’s walk went. She’s FABULOUS!
If you live in Potrero area and have a dog I suggest calling Jenn. I’ve had dog walkers before and Josi’s Paw Dog walking is also reasonably priced.
Thanks Jenn for taking Buddy on so quickly and taking such great care of him. :)
