Have used Paws for Walks twice now while I’ve been away on vacation. Could not recommend more - I felt that the cat sitters were all excellent at their job and their communication. I felt very, very comfortable being away from home, and that my cat was in great hands!
My dog and I moved to Chicago earlier this year and I chose PFWC to take him on walks on days that I am in-office, and have recently expanded into using PFWC for overnight stays when I travel. We can’t say enough wonderful things about the owners and people who work there. Everyone we have worked with - Maggie,…

We can’t say enough wonderful things about the owners and people who work there. Everyone we have worked with - Maggie, Alyson, Michael, Monika, and Aidyn have exceeded my expectations. They are reliable, communicative, and genuinely kind and caring people. I feel safe leaving my dog, who is anxious by nature, in their care, which I think is the greatest gift a dog mom can receive. They take the time to get to know your dog and are always happy to implement any accommodations that your dog may need. Thank you, PFWC, Shep and I are grateful for you!

A massive shout-out and five stars specifically for Monika, who is an absolute gem. Every time she arrives, she is visibly excited to see our dog, which means the world to us. She treats our pup, and we know, all her clients, with genuine love and care. We always receive thorough updates and fun pictures after every walk, and her communication is exceptional.

We absolutely love Paws for Walks! Monika takes such great care of our dog, Bigos. She gives us detailed updates after every visit (with fun stories and pictures), which always makes us smile and gives us peace of mind. She’s so reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. Bigos adores her and looks forward to his walks and playtime. Highly recommend Monika and Paws for Walks to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pup!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear how happy Bigos is with Monika—she adores him just as much! We know how important peace of mind is, and we’re so glad the updates and photos brighten your day. We truly appreciate your trust in us and feel lucky to be part of Bigos’ routine.
I have had nothing short of perfection with Paws For Walks. I have loved every walker- and so does my pup- and our current walker Kelly N. is just so amazing.
We can’t thank you enough for sharing this! It means the world to know that every walker has been such a great match for you and your pup. Kelly is fantastic, and we’re so glad you’re experiencing the care and reliability we strive for with our whole team.
I can’t say enough great things about Paws For Walk Chicago! Kara and Lesley are truly the best—they care for my dog, Coco, like she’s their own. I trust them and their team completely, and their dedication goes beyond just dog walking. They’ve created such a wonderful sense of community, connecting dog parents and making our neighborhood feel like family. So grateful for them! 🐶❤️
Thank you so much for this heartfelt review! Caring for Coco is such a joy, and we’re so grateful for your trust. Building a sense of community has always been important to us, and it means the world to know that you feel that connection. We truly appreciate you being part of our Paws For Walks family!
I started using Paws for Walks to help with walks while I was recovering from surgery. They were wonderful- always prompt, reliable, and fabulously enthusiastic to see Arthur. Special shoutout to Michael who was always attentive to Arthur’s quirks and shenanigans! I haven’t meet all of the walkers yet, but I know Arthur has adored each and every one. We also joined a super fun puppy hour event hosted by Paws and it was great to see other local pet and artist businesses! I hope to try some of their training, daycare, and boarding services in the future. &&& of course we love supporting local women-owned businesses!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re so glad we could support you (and Arthur!) during your recovery. Michael and the rest of the team adore Arthur and his fun quirks—it’s a joy to care for him. We love that you joined our Yappy Hour and connected with the amazing local pet and artist community. Your support means so much to us as a women-owned business, and we’re excited for all the future adventures with Arthur!
