Merry Meows & Hounds

Merry Meows & Hounds is an on-location pet care service based in Chicago, IL, serving West Town, Old Town, Lincoln Park, River North, West Loop, Gold Coast, Wrigleyville, Wicker Park, and Lakeview, with efforts to accommodate nearby areas. The team provides specialized in-home feline care and GPS-tracked dog walks, keeping pets comfortable in their own environment. After each visit, clients receive photo updates, a real-time walk map for dogs, and behavior notes by email or text.

The business is equipped to support pets with special needs. Staff can administer daily medications such as insulin, and hydration services (subcutaneous fluids) are available; most medications are included with each visit, with special rates applying for subcutaneous fluids.

To promote consistency and safety, Merry Meows & Hounds assigns the same sitter for each visit or walk, sanitizes touched surfaces, offers contactless key exchanges and meet-and-greets upon request, and observes distancing during walks. This combination of in-home care, transparent updates, and medication support provides reliable coverage for both cats and dogs throughout Chicago.
