CHICAGO PAWS DISTRICT

Who We Are

Welcome to Chicago Paws District — where LA training expertise meets Chicago heart. 🐾

​

We’re Sam Hoke and Gina Scaletta, two lifelong dog pros coming together to raise the bar for dog care in Chicago. After years of running The Ranch Dog Training, one of Los Angeles’ top-rated dog training facilities, Sam is bringing that structure, safety, and high-standard care back home to Chicago. Gina, the powerhouse behind Smart Paws Chicago, has built one of the most trusted dog walking companies in the city. Now, we’re teaming up to launch a fresh, fun, and skilled dog daycare and boarding facility right in the heart of Uptown.

​

Chicago Paws District isn’t just another dog daycare—it’s the next evolution. Our program is built by industry leaders with decades of experience and a shared passion for dogs. We offer premium daycare, boarding, and training services, all with a level of care and communication that’s unmatched in the city. Owners get daily report cards, photo updates, and personalized insights—because you deserve to know how your dog’s day is going.

​

Safety, structure, and service are at the core of everything we do. From expert-built policies to a facility designed for comfort and enrichment, every detail has been crafted to provide the best possible experience for your dog—and peace of mind for you.

​

We’re proud to be part of the Uptown community, and we can’t wait to welcome you and your pup to the pack.

Let’s do this, Chicago. 🐶
