Fit Dog Chicago was established by Saul Ayala in 2005.
Saul started as a dog walker for the neighborhood dogs in Logan Square where he was born and raised. As the pack grew and the dogs needed more exercise, Fit Dog evolved into play groups at the park and beach. Saul was excitedly overwhelmed with referrals from his clients and needed more space, so he opened his first daycare at 1526 N. Throop St. in 2006. Fit Dog has grown organically from the beginning until now with referrals from our amazing customers.
Fit Dog has evolved into a Dog Daycare with two locations serving the Chicagoland area. We offer a variety of services to fulfill our pups’ needs.
We are a family-owned business proudly owned by Saul and Emily Ayala. Our services include dog daycare, boarding, transportation and baths.
What Makes Fit Dog Chicago Unique?
What started as a one-man show 16 years ago has evolved into an outstanding team of employees. But the enrollment process ALWAYS starts with the owners, Emily & Saul Ayala.
All dogs do a Trial Day at Fit Dog Chicago. This allows dog parents to tour the facility & meet our staff. Finally you will finish registration with Emily. It starts with the owners- and you can always email/call to get in touch with Saul & Emily! This keeps Fit Dog a small, family business- The Fit Dog Fam!
We want to provide our customers with personalized care. We want to know you and your dog! All of our effort that goes into registering a new dog is to ensure all dogs that come to Fit Dog are socialized and safe to be in a daycare environment.
