Marc Matlin – Founder, Chicago Dog Walkers
Marc Matlin left a corporate career to build a company that reflected his true passion: caring for animals. What started as a one-person operation quickly grew into one of Chicago’s most trusted and award-winning dog-walking services.
Marc’s hands-on approach—from walking dogs full-time to leading a growing team—set the foundation for Chicago Dog Walkers’ success. His lifelong love for animals, especially his own rescue pets, helped shape the company’s core values: responsible, affectionate, and active companionship.
Chicago Dog Walkers has been recognized as Best Dog Walking Service in the Chicago Reader and is a four-time Readers’ Choice Award winner in Chicagoland Tails—a testament to the strong foundation Marc built and the exceptional care the team continues to provide.
