Mermaid (my do) gets excited to see them, but Jordan is not hesitant to message in the moment with any issues and/or concerns, such as when Mermaid laid down and refused to leave for a walk. The admin team is also extremely responsive and not just before and right after you commit. The app through which you do communication, scheduling, and payment is intuitive and easy to use. They also provide daily walk report with pictures in the app. Overall, I can't recommend Windy City Dog Walkers more.

I adopted my puppy, Arthur in June 2025. I saw his picture on the shelter's website and it was love…read moreat first sight. However, I did not have all of my ducks in a row. I work at the office four days a week, so it was imperative that I found a dependable dog walker. Frantically making inquiries, I called Windy City dog walkers. Tony answered the phone and let me know one of one of the walkers had new availability. He connected me with Cheryl who generously arranged to meet the next day. Arthur and Cheryl immediately hit it off! They have been taking walks together for a couple months now. And it's a comfort that Arthur walks every day and has formed a bond with her. I love that I receive stories about each walk and photos through their app, Time to Pet. Cheryl is a very talented photographer and storyteller! The app is very user-friendly, and I can easily communicate with the main office and with Cheryl. Windy City Dog Walkers goes above and beyond with additional services when I was going out of town last moment, I arranged a dog set through them. Cheryl stayed at my home and watched Arthur throughout the weekend. I cannot emphasize how much peace of mind they have given me!

The lack of comunication was frustrating They bill you and charge your credit cardbefore sevices are completed. They never answer the phone on the weekends and sometimes during there scheduled buisiness hours. I suggest having a camera due to the fact that I strongly believe that they were not honest about the number of scheduled visits I think they are under staffed and over whelmed. I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt but when i chosse to part ways they refused to return my keys and i had to pay for my locks to be changed. I would use Windy City Paws they are the best in chicago

We were pleased but the service has gone down a lot recently on reliability. During the past month, four walks were requested and never confirmed nor acknowledged.

Not sure if they are having software issues, but the lack of comms made them. It seem reliable which is something we want in a dog walking service.

We only left because we moved to the burbs and are now struggling to find a place like FitDog to take care of our big guy. Robot was always happy to run in to "school" as my 4 year old called it and when we picked him up he was always exhausted from playing (in a good way!). If you are looking for a place for your pup to run around and play with other good boys and girls - this is the spot. Also, the people who work there are so kind and it was sad to leave them as well. They always had a huge smile on their faces and even made bonds with us humans during pick up and drop off.

When I first met Lenny, I was excited by his energy and love for our four-legged friends, and don't…read moreget me wrong with the 1 star--he does love them. However his lack of respect and customer service are going to do him in. I believe in starting with positives so let's start with what I liked. . . Walks with Lenny does not have a weekly walking minimum. This was perfect for our schedules and budget. Lenny was great at messaging us on Sunday to ask if we needed any services for the week. Jackie was the BEST dog walker--she communicated really nicely and told us when she arrived and left our home. She was wonderful. On to the not-so-good. . . When I first met Lenny, what I liked about his business is that he assured me that there would only be one dog walker (himself) and on occasion (if he was tied up or on vacation) one other assistant. He clearly stated this is what sets Walks with Lenny apart from other dog walking businesses: "You would always have the same person. You're not going to have a different person walking into your home." Why is it that Lenny never entered our home? And that we had FOUR DIFFERENT walkers enter our home? Every time someone entered, we received another call to give permission to the new walker whom we never met. One other person I get, but FOUR?! The other thing I did not appreciate about Lenny was the lack of customer service and respect he had. It always seemed that Lenny was never at fault and he would use A LOT OF CAPS to get his point across, which just comes off as though you are yelling/trying to make a point/rude. Example. . . Our last encounter was not a pleasant one. We were out-of-town and hired Lenny to do a day walk while our friend who was home-sitting was at work. I requested the walker be there between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.. So I found it surprising when Lenny messages me at 1:45 p.m. saying that the (new) walker was having issues getting into our place. The two keys that were given to her were not working. We called our front desk and they assured us that she was able to get in on the second key, so why Lenny reached out? I am not sure. I am not an innocent party. . . I was beyond frustrated with Lenny because of the way he replied to me after I stated that no one had ever had a problem getting in our door. He replied with, "I understand that. But we are having one NOW." **Mind you, the walker was already in after getting the 2nd key**I asked Lenny to talk nicely please and ask the dog walker to go to the front desk for help ASAP because a) my dog should have been walked maximum 45 minutes ago and he still didn't address the issue, and cap letters via text, email or review are yelling. He then proceeded to tell me the problem of the 2nd key and I asked him to please stop arguing with me. This wasn't the first time we had a conversation like this. . . I just never spoke up about his rude texts/manners. I regret I never did because maybe it wouldn't have gone this far--I blame the wine tasting :). The outcome. . . Lenny then replies back with the following text which can be see in the photos section. If you can't see it here is what he said, "You know what Vanessa? I am NOT arguing with you. I am rebutting your insinuation she wasn't smart enough to go downstairs and ask for help. Now, Lady will be walked today FREE of charge but I/we are not walking her again after today." And as you can see, I was perfectly okay with that. Obviously, Lenny does not need customers nor does he care to keep them on. That's not good customer service. By the way, this was our FIRST and ONLY (I am yelling :P) confrontation. Since then (4/26/14), we have hired a new dog walker and they have entered our place twice with no problems, we have received photos and texts for when they go, and we have met the other dog walker who would possibly enter our home. **FYI--I apologize as I did not proof read this**
