Pampered Pooch Chicago has been caring for our dogs for over nine years! Our dogs are our babies and we are very choosy with who we trust. Martha and her team are the only people we'd ever use for daily walks and petsitting. She's great about care tailored to individual pet needs, including meds, keeping an eye on one of our pups who is a notorious street food eater, giving our other dog a ton of exercise, and generally treating our babies like her own. We also love supporting a local, woman-owned small business. I wholeheartedly recommend Pampered Pooch as a business and let lover. read more

Pampered Pooch-Chicago - A hidden talent: Martha takes amazing pup photos when we are away! - Dog Walkers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My mother was using this dog-walking service for some time (and paying upwards of $5-600/month) when she suddenly had to go into the hospital and then into a rehab facility. Her dog was picked up by someone who cared for him, but devastatingly, he mysteriously died 3 days later. Under the guise of asking about my mother's condition, Martha Del Rio called me and asked me to whom she could send the outstanding bill. I told her to email it to me and I would take care of it, which I fully intended to do once I had dealt with the deeply traumatic events that had occurred. But then she called again a week and a half later, asking about the $300 bill! Did I receive the bill? Was there someone else she should speak with? Another email address where she could send it? Horrified, I found her behavior despicable and indicative of someone completely lacking in any compassion or simple human decency. My mother was in a facility, her 6 yr-old dog, who Martha was supposed to care about, had mysteriously died, and her only concern was getting her $338. If you think Martha Del Rio cares about you or your dogs, think again. She's in it for the money. There are plenty of other dog-walking services out there run by people who are actual animal lovers. I advise using one of them. 6/10: What an amazing coincidence that multiple positive reviews now appear on the same day as my negative one! Suspicious? Trust me, take your business and your loved ones elsewhere. It's the dog-walkers who deserve all the credit for taking care of your dog(s), not Martha Del Rio. read more

I have been using Martha Del Rio for years now! She's positively without a doubt, the most amazing, caring, fun loving, pup sitter I've ever used! She's the ONLY sitter I trust with my precious fur baby and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is nervous about a first time sitter! If you love your baby, Martha is the obvious choice for your peace of mind and a fun vacation for your pup! read more

Pampered Pooch-Chicago - Punky - Dog Walkers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Pampered Pooch, the owner and her walkers, have been apart of our lives for over 10 years, from since she was a puppy, to now as a senior little lady. Their services are invaluable.. Everyone of the walkers have been gracious, kind, gentle, and love our dog (and I am sure everyone else's dogs as well). These people really love dogs!!!! They go above and beyond for our dog. When our dog started showing signs of old age, they took an even gentler approach with her. We also ask that the walkers wipe our dog with baby wipes and they have always kindly obliged. We cannot express how grateful we are to have them in our lives. When we eventually return to office, we are comforted knowing Pampered Pooch would be checking on and walking my dog. On occasions, when we are out of town, Pampered Pooch takes care of our dog. Since our dog is a family member, I implicitly trust Pampered Pooch to take care of her. They entered our home to retrieve our dog and door staffs love them. We have always recommended Pampered Pooch to anyone needing dog walking services. Our friends and neighbors love them as well! The biggest endorsement of is from our dog: the owner drives a Jeep and whenever our dog sees a Jeep, she pulls toward it. Just recently, we ran into the owner and our dog was super excited to see her and thought she was leaving with the owner in her Jeep. We implicitly recommend Pampered Pooch. We love you Pampered Pooch! read more

Martha and her walkers cared for my dogs for years and helped out when my folks passed. She came and picked them up on New Years Day when my dad passed and I knew in her care I would not have to worry about them as I took care of my family. Her walkers show the same understanding care and my dogs truly love them. She has cared for many dogs in my high-rise and the neighborhood for many years. She and her walkers are like an extended family. read more

I have been using Pampered Pooch for both my dogs for over 6 years consistently and I have to say the entire staff are incredible and so reliable. I have been in a bind several times with last minute travel or delayed travel back home and Martha is ALWAYS there to care for my dogs. The entire pampered pooch staff has become a part of our family and are as reliable and caring as family. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Martha, G, and Nick for everything you do! read more

I can't say enough good things about Martha or her walkers! I trust them completely. My lab mix, Cali has been getting walks from them since she was only a few months old (the puppy package was a life saver). So reliable, no extra charge for weekends or holidays and so flexible with last minute changes/requests! We also board Cali with Martha when we travel. Cali has a great time and comes home exhausted! Martha also sends pictures and videos, which are really nice when you are away for an extended period of time and really start missing your pet. :) If you are in the River North area and need a walker or someone to watch your pet while you're out of town, call Martha! read more

We love, love, love Martha and her walkers! We received her information as a recommendation from one of the other dog moms in our building, and Martha has been walking our little guy since day one. He also stayed with her for a few weeks while we were on our honeymoon. The whole Pampered Pooches crew is kind, caring, and very flexible, adapting to last minute requests and extra walks on weekends/evenings as needed. We were so sad to move out of the area and already miss Team Martha! We will still use her boarding services for future travels even though it means driving an hour and half out of the way. Our little guy absolutely loves her and her other pooches! read more
