Our Passion for Uptown Pets
We are dedicated Uptown Chicago dog walkers who care deeply about safety, professionalism, and love. Sparky Steps was founded in 2016 in memory of Sparky, the founder’s dog, whose joy inspired us to spend our lives helping animals. Today, we continue his legacy by caring for pets across Uptown with the same love we had for him — and by encouraging adoption and volunteering for shelter animals.
