Member since Jan 2020

Caragh is a nationally-certified canine massage therapist offering in-home sessions in the Chicago, IL area. She was inspired to leave her corporate gig after rescuing her dog Oscar, so that she could fill her days with all things dog and build a dream career in canine wellness.

Caragh received certification in Canine Massage Therapy and Pet First Aid & CPR through the Chicago School of Canine Massage, now Canis Bodyworks, in 2017. She is nationally-certified through the National Board of Certification for Animal Acupressure & Massage (NBCAAM). Caragh has training in advanced post-surgical, edema management, tendon & ligament healing, and oncology techniques and is a certified FearFree professional committed to low-stress handling and positive touch experience. In 2019, Caragh became an instructor with Canis Bodyworks, as she is inspired to help others pursue their passions just as she did.

Therapeutic canine massage has powerful benefits for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, breeds, and temperaments, and can provide comfort and healing both physically and emotionally.

🦔 Caragh Reilly — Certified Animal Massage Therapist in Chicago, Illinois


Caragh provides professional, hands-on animal massage therapy to dogs, cats, and companion animals in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. Every session is tailored to your pet's individual needs — whether that's relieving muscle tension, improving mobility, reducing anxiety, or simply supporting long-term wellness.


Benefits of Sessions with Caragh


Pets who receive regular massage therapy often show meaningful improvements in comfort, flexibility, and overall disposition. Sessions can ease the stiffness and pain associated with arthritis, calm anxious or nervous animals, support recovery from injury, and strengthen the bond between pet and owner — all through gentle, non-invasive hands-on care.


💖 Helping Your Beloved Pet Feel Their Best


There is nothing harder than watching a pet you love struggle with pain, stiffness, or anxiety and feeling powerless to help. Holistic animal massage therapy offers pet owners in Chicago a gentle, natural way to make a real difference in their companion's daily life. Whether your dog is slowing down with age, your cat is carrying tension they can't shake, or your pet simply deserves a moment of deep, restorative care — Caragh is here to help. Every session is delivered with compassion, patience, and an unwavering commitment to your pet's comfort and wellbeing. Because your family pet deserves to feel good, move freely, and enjoy every day to the fullest.


How Sessions Work


Each session begins with a brief assessment of your pet's condition, allowing Caragh to identify areas of tension and tailor the massage accordingly. Sessions typically run between 30 and 60 minutes depending on your pet's size and needs, and most animals show visible signs of relaxation from the very first visit. Follow-up sessions build on previous progress, focusing on continued comfort and long-term wellness.
