Pawlosophy was founded by Alexis and fellow rescue volunteer. After a number of less than stellar experiences with other walking and sitting services, they decided it was time to seize the opportunity to offer the kind of unparalleled service that they expected for their own special needs pets. In fall of 2010 they started Pawlosophy: a new standard in pet care.
Pawlosophy is owned and operated by Alexis with the help of her amazing support staff and wonderful caregivers! Alexis was raised on the north side of Chicago. She has B.A.s in Geography and Physical Anthropology. Her early professional life was spent in the financial industry, where she worked for 10 years at the CBOE in the S&P 500 and the CME in the Eurodollar Pit.
Currently, in addition to operating Pawlosophy, she is pursing a masters degree in nursing. She has been pet sitting since she was in high school, and has 20+ years experience caring for animals, both personally and professionally. Alexis started riding horses at age 5, competing in local shows in the hunter jumper circuit until her late teens.

Kiki is an incredible trainer in very high demand locally.
What we love most about Kiki is that she is passionate about actively continuing to expand her base of knowledge in animal behavior.
Megan and Jen have been training for decades, they continually seek new sources to keep current in the science of animal behavior.
They both are quite gifted at imparting their knowledge to their clients and keeping things simple and straight-forward.
There is only one daycare / boarding facility we recommend in the city, because they do THAT good a job setting themselves apart from the pack.

What is your experience in the pet world?
At Pawlosophy, we have many combined years of experience between us.
From extensive rescue work, to dog, cat, turtle and guinea pig ownership, we have truly seen it all!
2. Is there an initial meet and greet before my dog becomes a client?
We firmly believe that a meet and greet is a crucial first step in setting you, your pet and our service provider up for success from the very beginning.
We want to get to know you and your pet.
We want to make sure that your pet is comfortable with the walker or sitter you have chosen, to address any questions or concerns that you may have, and to gain a full understanding of your pet's requirements.
