We cannot say enough good things about Windy City Paws. They walked our dog, Luna, for a year. Their work for us shows the value of using a service that stresses the importance of a good relationship between a dog walker and a dog. Luna unfortunately got very sick while we were away on vacation. David, our dog walker, noticed Luna was lethargic and showed signs of anemia. He alerted us right away and using a car provided by Windy City Paws, escorted her to her vet. Dave's early actions allowed us to arrive home to be with Luna when she unfortunately died of undiagnosed cancer. Windy City Paws showed a professional level of knowledge, a high degree of exceptional service, and love of our dog. We're so grateful for Dave and Windy City Paws for being so proactive and giving us the chance to say goodbye to our Luna. If you want to have complete peace of mind to use a service that would care for your dog as you would, use Windy City Paws. read more

Windy City Paws is a super professional dog walking service. I have total confidence in them and their dog walkers. They are reliable, friendly, and very helpful. Nathan is our walker and he is beyond great. I would unconditionally recommend them and I am a hard grader. I highly recommend them. Eileen K. read more

We love Windy City Paws and Dustin B! We recently switched from daycare to walks for our golden retriever and can already tell Norman looks forward to his walks with Dustin everyday. Dustin is great about taking Norman for long walks, making sure Norm gets the most out of his hour outside, and always makes sure Norm's paws are clean when he comes back inside. We know he's in great hands with Dustin! read more

Windy City Paws has been taking care of my dog penny for 1.5 years and have been so amazing. They have immediate and excellent communication, can almost alway accommodate for last minute changes and additions including night and weekend walks. Their emails daily with the walk info are awesome and their online platform makes it super easy to work with them. Would recommend them to anyone in Chicago. Our walker Michael was amazing with our dog!! read more

We started using Windy City Paws last April after we moved to a new neighborhood. We have 2 senior dogs and live in a high rise with a lot of "rules". We have 4-5 walks a week. Andrea our walker is reliable, super friendly and upbeat with the dogs (I work at home so am there about half the time) she provides feedback about the walk via email. In this awful winter weather she is gets their coats and booties on with ease. The dogs are always happy to see her when she comes in the door (which is really the best indicator of her work) The agencies website is well organized and easy to use. I am very happy with their service and reliability. read more

I have been using WCP since I moved to the city in 2016. They walked my dog Fred for two years every day. I always came home to find a note from the walker telling me in detail how Fred, who was quite old, had done on his walk. Since Fred passed away, I still use them to do cat sitting for my very timid cat Lucy when I go out of town. Jen S. has been my regular sitter, and I love her long feedback notes telling me exactly how Lucy is doing, together with photos. It always gives me peace of mind to see Lucy trusts her and is getting some attention. Jen even sweeps up any kitty litter and takes out the scoopings to the garbage -- she goes above and beyond every time! read more

I've been using Windy City Paws for catsitting services for my two cats for a few years now and they are simply amazing. The feedback and pictures I get from the sitter after each visit reassures me that my cats are in great hands. They also try to have the same sitter come for the whole time I'm away which is a little thing but is very much appreciated. I cannot recommend them highly enough!! read more

Windy City Paws is an incredible business that I highly recommend. We have been using them for a few months and are SO happy! They are extremely responsive and work to meet the needs of your schedule. I'm sure all of the WCP walkers are great but I'm a little biased when I say that Gary is the best dog walker in Chicago (maybe the world?). He puts so much effort into the emails and is clearly a natural born writer. The pictures are wonderful and we can tell that our lab mix is LOVING life on every walk with Gary. It's natural to be a little hesitant to let someone into your home but at every step of the process WCP and Gary were reassuring and helped us feel comfortable with everything. If you are considering a dog walker, look no further than Windy City Paws. read more

I was having a great experience with WCP pre-covid. Loved having consistent walks for my dog and getting a cute picture! They are thorough in communicating about pet needs and administrative topics. It's very important to me that my dog have a consistent walker which is why I use WCP instead of other providers. read more

We have been very happy with the team at Windy City Paws- they are responsive, very friendly and consistent. The walkers are super-friendly and professional. Our dog Lily looks forward to seeing them. read more

I have had such a wonderful experience with Windy City paws! My dog always looks forward to his walks with them and I have even used them when I went out of town. They went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable about leaving and sent me updates each visit. They also took notes on everything I needed them to do for my dog while gone. Highly recommend this company. read more

We have used Windy City Paws for close to four years, starting soon after we moved to Lakeview. Although we had few different walkers over that time, they have all been wonderful. Reliable, and kind and patient with our very old lab. She would curl up at our front door in the afternoon, waiting for her friend to come and visit. The owner seems to have a knack for finding compassiate animal lovers - much appreciated to know that our beloved pup was well taken care of. read more

Look no further! We have used Windy City Paws for over 2 years with our dog, Zoey. They are incredibly professional, courteous, and trustworthy! I cannot express the peace of mind they provide us on a daily basis! read more

Let's get it out there...I am a FREAK about my furbaby. It's hard enough to trust my boyfriend of 4 years with her, I'm even worse with a petsitter/dog walker. So when I moved and had to give up my precious Border Collie's walker I interviewed tons of potential candidates. Windy City Paws won out, and after over a year they still continue to impress. Border Collie + City = UGH in a lot of situations. WCP really helps make it better. Need 2 walks a day? WCP's got it. Need an evening walk because something popped up and your BC will hold a grudge when she doesn't get her nightly jaunt? WCP's got it. Need someone to stay over while you're away? WCP's got it. WCP just doesn't "got it" though. All of the people I've met at WCP actually care about your animal. It shows, and makes a big difference. Believe me, my little princess can smell BS a mile away and doesn't warm up to many people. But she LOVES her primary walker, and really gets along with everyone else at WCP. (That's saying a lot since my BC would prefer to sit on the couch and watch her HGTV than go walking with people she thinks are fakes. True story.) Bottom line, WCP is professional. (Make sure any dog walker you pick is licensed/bonded/insured; I know from past experience that the insurance is a MUST because no matter how careful you are random situations have the potential to pop up.) WCP is convenient, WCP is accommodating, WCP's walkers are kind, WCP's walkers are responsible and come at the scheduled time; but most importantly...WCP becomes part of the pack. And that kind of trust is what matters most to me and my furbaby. read more

This is a great pet walking service. I am a concierge and have used there services so many times for my residents, they are always super professional and always on time. I would highly recommend WCP for all your pet needs. read more

I have an extremely stubborn dog with lots of idiosyncrasies (to put gently!) - and I've found Windy City Paws to be more than capable to taking my dog for a walk when I'm at work. My walker Paige is very communicative when something unexpected comes up - and very responsive as well. I definitely recommend this provider if you're looking for a dog walker. read more

Windy City Paws has been AMAZING in caring for our dog, Teagan. I had numerous questions before signing on, and Julia was gracious and patient. Every step from the meet and greet to the walk updates has been super friendly and professional. Their communication goes above and beyond, and they truly care that you and your pup are happy. Their online portal allows you to make any updates/special requests, as well as adjustments to your typical walk schedule. They have a specific walker for your pup, and it is just your pup and the walker, so they can really form a relationship. Our walker, Vita, allows us to feel at ease while at work because we know Teagan is safe and well cared for. Her updates after every walk are something I look forward to, and it is clear she really cares about our girl! If you are looking for a dog walker, do not look any further, WCP is the best! read more

Windy City Paws is great! I found out about them through my building and scheduled a meet and greet. My dog walker, Natalie, is fantastic. She always leaves me detailed notes about her walks with my pup. Windy City Paws is also super helpful and accommodating when I need to add a walk or change my pups schedule. I am so happy I went with them! read more

I love my service from Windy City Paws. Frist, its all about my walker - I have a great walker JAKE. He takes great care of the dogs and stays connected with me on how the pups are doing. Although I usually have the same walker I have had a couple of different walkers from time to time. EACH ONE has been responsible and good to the dogs. Windy City is always extremely responsive to my needs and to the dogs. My dogs get walked daily and I also use their overnight pet services. THE BEST EXPERIENCE I HAVE HAD WITH PETTSITTING. I highly recommend them. read more

These folks are fantastic. They take their dog walking service very seriously and it shows in everything they do. The communication couldn't be better and the customer service can't be beat. I wish every company had their customer service skills. Truly remarkable. read more

We have been using WCP for a year. They have been great! Our walker Lia Rhodes is so reliable and takes great care of our dog Georgie. It is such a relief to know that our dog is being taken care of well during the work day! We highly recommend Windy City Paws and Lia! read more

We are really happy using Windy City Paws for walking our Lily in River North. They are very good with communications and our walker Emily takes great care of Lily five days a week. Highly recommend. read more

Windy City Paws has been great for my family . I trust the walkers and pet sitters and they are always so positive and accommodate our needs! I can go to work or on vacation and I do not feel stressed or worried as I know my dogs are in good hands . read more

My husband and I love Windy City Paws! Our primary walker is amazing - he knows our dogs well, handles them in any situation (they can be pretty hyper), and gives them lots of love. I feel grateful they are in his care. The other walkers we've used have been great too, and the company is great at scheduling, communication, and customer service! They are excellent and I highly recommend them to any pup parent! read more

WCP has such friendly and caring dog walkers. We've enjoyed using them for the past 3 years. They take photos and write descriptive (and funny!) notes about your dogs day. We love reading the notes when they come over email and appreciate the care the walkers show to our pet. They also work hard to accommodate last minute schedule changes. Thanks for taking such good care of my pup, WCP!! read more

I have been using WCPs dog walking service for several months now and have had an overall very positive experience. Although I was initially very anxious about using any type of dog walking services, my nerves were immediately calmed after the initial meet & greet with a WCP manager to discuss my dog walking needs and review specifics about my dogs temperament, etc. From this very first interaction, I could tell WCP staff were knowledgable and exhibited genuine care. They have an online portal through with everything is managed, which includes care instructions, scheduling, and payment. Given my busy schedule, having all of this in one place is very convenient. In addition, the dog walker writes note and sends a photo after every walk. My current dog walker, Mak, is so creative and descriptive with his daily updates that it almost feels like I was there on the walk with them. It's always such a joy to have that email pop-up mid-day and see a photo of one very happy pup! The few times I have had to get in contact directly with WCPs, they have been extremely responsive. Even though it is a growing business, they do a wonderful job of treating each customer as a priority and making them feel valued. I rarely write reviews, but given that I found them using other Yelpers positive feedback, I figured I'd return the favor to any of you out there contemplating dog walking services. I highly recommend Windy City Paws! read more

I never used a dog walking service before and I am so happy and thankful I found WCP! Our frenchie absolutely loves our dog walker (Levi) and I love receiving the walk updates via email while I'm at work. I also am very impressed with how easy it is to schedule an unplanned walk through their portal. Levi and WCP are the best! read more

I didn't know what to expect when I was looking for a dog-walking service other than I knew I needed someone to help out with my sometimes work-at-home, sometimes not schedule for my newly-adopted rescue dog. Windy City Paws has been a godsend and my walker, Amie, is part of our pack now - my dog is crazy about her and probably would rather hang out with her than me some days. I like the ability to schedule beyond my already planned days, and that if some emergency arises, they are quick to try to find me someone to fill in. Great communication, fun write-ups and my dog is always treated with a lot of love and patience, which is most important, especially as he takes a bit of time to warm up to new friends. read more

Windy City paws is terrific! We have had good luck with all of the dog walkers they have provided us over the past two years. As soon as this Covid craziness is over we will certainly look forward to get back up and running with WCP. They are also very responsive and flexible with our schedule, and the prices are very fair! read more

I love Windy City Paws! They have been amazing sitting my cat when I am out of town for almost 5 years. As a National Sales Director I travel quite a bit and hate leaving my cat. It's nice to know he is in great hands when I am gone. They give amazing feedback with photos everyday. I work in the pet industry and know about for people their pets are their babies. Katie has helped me out of few times during some emergencies and when I have been in a pinch. Sarah and the rest of the sitters are great. Thank you for being there for Thumper and I. read more

Windy City Paws is simply the BEST dog walking service I have ever had! They treat my dog with such love, care and concern that I never worry. The professionalism and communication is unparalleled. read more

We used WCP for 2 years and have only had wonderful experiences with them! Drumstick and Babs loved their walkers and they have been so helpful with dogsits when we leave town. Couldn't recommend them more - they're super trustworthy and reliable, and have also been great about working with us on our last minute requests. read more

I was in desperate need for a dog walker because the company I had before was unreliable! Windy City Paws came to the rescue!! Not only did they respond promptly to my email request, but the organization skill of the company was outstanding! I could log the walks I needed via the website...cancel, add, etc! And if I ever had an issue with the calendar, the management staff responded right away via email. As for my walker, Lisa! She is amazing!! She treated my dog Steve like he was her own, and as an owner, that meant the world to me! I knew he was in good hands while I was at work! This might seem strange, but once she started walking Steve...he even seemed happier!! I have had nothing but positive experiences with this company and their walkers! If you are looking for people to make sure you don't have to worry about anything and have the organization skills to keep clients happy, then this is the dog walking company for you!! read more

Windy City Paws has been wonderful! Been using the service for almost 4 months now. Annelea is fantastic and has been very loving and patient with my very shy dog. She took the time for her to be comfortable and is one of the very few people that has ever been able to walk her. We are very thankful to her and don't know what we would of done without her. She even cleans up after our pup when she makes the occasional mess. Very reliable service. Thank you! read more

We have been using Windy City Paws since we got our pup in August of 2011. Picking someone who you trust to not only take care of your canine best friend, but also to come into your home every day, is not an easy decision. Katie and her team are wonderful. We've had a couple of walkers and our Sophie has loved them all. They are consistently on time and always leave us notes on how her walk went. I go to work in peace knowing she'll be taken care of. Highly recommend Windy City Paws! read more

WCP is reliable, often follows-up/looks for feedback, and most importantly, treats our little puppy very well. We feel very lucky to have found Windy City Paws! read more
