Carla

Owner and Founder

Hi, my name is Carla and I am the extraordinarily proud owner of this amazing company!  I started this company eighteen years ago after not feeling satisfied or fulfilled in my culinary career.  It became increasingly difficult to find a job that would allow any decent quality of life outside the workplace. At the time, I was a single parent to three small children and wanted to be home for them and our four legged fur babies as much as possible. I wanted to make a difference, help make people's lives simpler and have their minds be less burdened. I wanted to focus these efforts and provide services to the neighbors and the neighborhood I have resided in for the past thirty years, the far Northwest Side.  This train of thought led to the birth of  Snappy Paws. Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love dogs. I have never been able to resist stopping to pet any dog walking my way. I will even go out of my way to pet a dog that catches my eye.   

After much research it became apparent that the far Northwest side was in need of a professional, reliable, flexible and consistent service. I decided to put my management, customer service skills and keen organizational prowess to work  and dove head first into Snappy Paws! Backed by a team of rock star walkers we deliver amazing services to our clients at a fair price. We provide services comprised of loving and caring individuals dedicated to caring for this community's pets. We believe people and their pups aren't just a number on a key, but part of a family. Snappy Paws was the first to bring dog walking services on this scale to the far Northwest Side. We have expanded our service area over the years to encompass much of the Northwest Side and remain true to our mission.

You will find me to be an extremely consistent, reliable, fair, and loving person. I will always treat you and your pet as I would wish to be treated myself. I will love your four legged friend almost as much as you do!  I am flexible and will work with you to make certain your pet's needs are being met. I welcome your questions and am always happy to chat about any advice you need regarding your pet or to just lend an ear.

Caring for you pet is an honor I am proud to have and I thank you for the opportunity to work together.

Hey there, I’m Isaiah! I’m originally from the St. Louis area and have been a resident of Chicago since the summer of ‘21. I love it here! I’m a musician, a houseplant enthusiast, and a huge lover of animals. I grew up with the most adorable (and wild) Pitbull Lab mix, Clark, two lil cutie corgis, Max and Luna, and Joey, a very large tuxedo cat. My current living situation doesn’t allow me to have pets of my own, so I’m very thankful to be working with Snappy Paws, and I can’t wait to meet your furry companions!
