About me

Hi, I'm Molly!

I'm the founder of Molly Walks Dogs, serving families across the west suburbs. As a mom and a dog and cat owner myself, I know your pets aren't just pets. They're family, and leaving them in someone else's care takes trust.

That's why safety comes first in everything I do. I take time to learn each pet's personality, routine, and quirks, whether that's a dog who pulls toward squirrels, a senior pup who needs a slower pace, or a cat who prefers to be admired from a distance. Every visit is tailored to your pet, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.

Over the years I've cared for all kinds of animals, so whether you have a high-energy retriever, a shy rescue, or a whole household of furry (or scaly!) friends, I'm comfortable and ready to help.

You'll always know how your pet is doing with updates after every visit. I'd love to meet you and your animals. Reach out to schedule a free meet-and-greet!

FAQ

Questions? I've got answers.

What areas do you serve?

I serve an 8-mile radius around Wheaton, IL (60187), covering much of DuPage County in Chicago's western suburbs. That includes Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Winfield, Carol Stream, West Chicago, Warrenville, Lombard, Glendale Heights, Lisle, Bloomingdale, Villa Park, Downers Grove, and Addison. Check the map to see if your home falls inside my area.

How do I schedule a visit?

Just give me a call at (630) 614-1203! New clients start with a free 20-minute meet and greet so your dog and I can get to know each other. Regular walks are available Monday through Friday, 9 to 5. If you need a different time, just ask and we can work something out. If I miss your call, leave a message and I'll get back to you soon.

Can I meet my dog walker beforehand?

Absolutely! I'm Molly, and I personally handle every walk. That means the person you meet is the same person who will care for your dog every time. Every new client starts with a free 20-minute meet and greet at your home. It's a chance for your dog to get comfortable with me, and for us to go over their routine, quirks, and any safety needs before the first walk. Call (630) 614-1203 to set one up.

How will you get into my home?

Whatever works best for you. Many clients give me a spare key at our meet and greet, and I keep it secure until you ask for it back. You can also use your own lockbox, a door or garage keypad code, or simply be home to let me in. We'll go over the details together during your free meet and greet, including any alarm codes, gates, or other things I should know.

Will you walk my dog with other dogs?

No. I walk one household at a time, so your dog gets my full attention. It's safer, calmer, and lets me focus on your dog's needs. If you have more than one dog, they'll walk together.

When do I pay for a walk?

All walks are paid in advance, and payment is due at least 24 hours before your scheduled walk. That way everything is settled ahead of time, and I can focus completely on your dog. I accept [cash, check, Venmo, Zelle, etc.]. You'll always know the full price before booking, with no surprise fees.

Do I need to tip?

Tipping is never expected, but it's always appreciated! Since I run this business myself, every tip goes directly to me. The best thanks of all is a happy pup and a kind review.
