Windy City Dog Walkers is such an incredible company to work with! Ania takes such great care of my girl, Cami. She provides the best updates after she walks Cami, goes above and beyond to do extra without me asking, and is flexible when I have had to change the schedule due to work conflicts. Everyone I have talked to is so supportive!
I’ve used their dog walking services for a few years. They’re communicative, flexible, and easy to work with. I always know Sammy is in good hands. Highly recommend!
We have been with Windy City Dog walkers and have had a great experience with our walker and communication. We have had two walkers and both have been amazing with our reactive dog. Jesse has been awesome with being patient with our dog, and very knowledgable walking a very dog and child reactive dog. He and the…
Windy City Dog Walkers has been a godsend for our pup! The communication and consistency have been key for our anxious gal and we have the utmost confidence that she is being cared for every time she is with them. Our regular walker has also been so great helping us out with a couple of emergencies. Couldn't recommend more highly!
We’re so grateful for our dog walker, Audrey. She is professional, reliable, and very flexible. She is fantastic at working with our large Saint Bernard, who is generally well behaved but requires management to avoid aggressive behaviors. She has been patient and ready to work with him! We don’t know how we’d get…
Windy City is great. We had a lot of trouble finding a dog walker that was patient enough to get to know our reactive dog. She has a lot of trouble learning to trust new people and strangers, but the dog walker was very patient and understanding. We've been using them for years and they have been a life saver. Would definitely recommend.
We have been using Windy City Dog Walkers for several years now and they take such great care of our dog Millie. They are very responsive to last minute changes and are very accommodating. The staff is very professional and kind, and Millie definitely loves her walker! I always look forward to the daily updates…
Windy City Walkers is the absolute best! Ali has been truly incredible. They’re responsive, professional, and truly a life saver!
I used 3 different walkers with Windy City and they were all GREAT with my reactive dog. The company is very communicative and our walkers were all wonderful. I cannot recommend them enough.
Best dog walkers in the City. Attentive to my senior dogs needs, including administering daily medicine, and walking at her pace. I couldn’t ask for anything more. Plus the 4 hour cancellation policy cannot be beat!!
I've been using WCDW for over 17 years and truly cannot say enough good things about them.The walkers are reliable, caring and truly great with my dog. Management is responsive and always quick to address any questions or needs. I also take advantage of their in-house dog sitting services so my dog can stay in his…
This is a great service and I highly recommend. I first found Windy City dog walkers through google search and then someone referred them to me so I went ahead and contacted them about walking our dog. They come twice a day three days a week and our dog loves our walker. We always have the same walker for our dog…
Amazing service, flexible scheduling system. Walkers are always great and made my nervous dog very comfortable. All of my coworkers and friend also use the same company!
We’ve been using WCDW for several years now, and have had a great experience! Soba is leash reactive to other dogs, but her walkers have been fantastic in handling her big feelings. The team is also always so quick to respond to any questions and share any changes to the normal schedule (i.e., if our normal walker…
This is a great service. They are great at communication and keeping us updated with how the walks went. Our walker is amazing and takes care of our dog as if it was her own.
We have used Windy City Dog Walkers since moving to West Town in 2023, and have been super happy with every aspect of their service. We have two reactive dogs and WCDW has been very accommodating and non-judgmental in ensuring their needs get met. We've had 3 different walkers since we started using them and each…
My walker, Susan, is beyond wonderful. She feels like a member of our family. Every interaction I have had with the office/staff has been stellar- they are responsive and understanding. I cannot recommend this service enough!
WCDW provides me with peace of mind. The care they offer my dog during walks or dog-sitting is top-notch. The highlight of my pet's day is his dog walker's regular visits. The highlight of my day is the email note and picture they send me about his walk. I highly recommend them!
Reliable, friendly walkers that my pup loves!
We absolutely love WCDW and highly recommend their services. The flexibility they provide, especially the ease of scheduling and the ability to have reliable backups when needed. It has made a meaningful difference for our family. They also offer great value for the quality of care they provide. We are especially…
