I have been using Windy City for over 5 years now and never been disappointed. Dog walks occur on time with individuals who care and treat your pet as their own. Our current dog walker, Victoria, is an amazing person. Every day our dog is so excited to see her and she manages to get hime outside in all types of weather and condition to make sure he gets the exercise he needs. We truly appreciate Victoria's lovely care of our pet. Windy City Dog Walkers are truly 5 out of 5. Highest recommendation.

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.

She was always available to care for Emily while I was gone, even last minute trips. Not only does Rebecca provide the best pet care ever, she always did playtime, brought Emily feathers to play with gave treats, fresh wet food and fresh water with ice cubes, just as Emily liked. Rebecca always sent pictures and videos with updates after each visit which gave me such a peace of mind my cat was in great hands and care. Rebecca is also the reason I was able to prolong Emily's last two years of her life before she cross the kitty rainbow at 20 years old! For two years and during the pandemic nonetheless. Rebecca came to visit Emily every day of the week and some days 2 times to administer home IV fluids and oral medication necessary for her supportive care. I would not have been able to do this without Rebecca's help! I was terrified with the vet told me this was my only option however, Rebecca stepped in and administered the IV medication, fluids, and oral medication. Such a blessing! She has always treated my Emily with kindness and a loving touch, and I will forever be grateful she was able to provide these things as part of her services. I highly recommend Rebecca for all of your pet sitting needs, and especially if you have an animal who requires any medication at home, oral or IV fluids of any kind. You and your loved fur babies are in phenomenal hands! I feel very fortunate, and will forever be grateful to Rebecca for giving me Emily's last 2 years of a long and happy life!

(we were lucky enough to get nearly a month of puppy leave.) It was hard finding someone we felt we could trust, but Jack and his crew came highly recommended from my best friend. And sure enough, as soon as I met Jack I knew he was the one for us. We work in social media so we have weird hours and our schedules change day to day. Jack is always flexible and incredibly accommodating. We literally couldn't raise Theo without him and his team. A BIG plus for us is that Jack and co. only take one dog out at a time, so I know that Theo is safe and getting one on one attention. I know "wag" is a thing, but I see those walkers with 4 dogs at a time and I shudder. What if one dog turns on the other? Also, we love that a quick text and picture is standard and included in the incredibly reasonable pricing. Spencer seems to be the walker who takes Theo out the most, and his pictures are always amazing. We cannot thank this crew enough for taking care of our little guy. It's such a relief knowing we have them in our lives.

After not leaving the house during the first six months we had these broads, we went on our first vacation. Woo boy! Fun fact: your dog CAN chew through a couch to the studs. Didn't know couches even contained metal? Me either. But Dolly Barkton was determined to educate us simpletons on the inner workings of home furnishings. As an amateur carpenter, Dolly needed privacy to conduct her work, so naturally she locked the door to the office where she had set up shop. That's right. The dog locked herself in the office. I'll leave out the tantrums over thunderstorms, the sight of other dogs, walks after dark, putting her harness on... I swear she's a good dog. (Said every indignant pet owner.) Now, Mimi von Hissypants wasn't going to allow Dolly all the fun. She took this opportunity of newfound freedom and decided litterboxes were for babies. And even though she cries if she can't watch mom pee or her favorite toy, Higgins, skitters even slightly out of reach of her teeny little murderous mitten, she ain't no baby! So Mimi did what all big girls do and she turned the once soft, cozy spots in our condo into new bathrooms. I ought to buy stock in Nature's Miracle stain remover. Again, we are on vacation. Out of the country. For 10 days. But did we have to come home early and face the wrath of our little domestic terrorists? Of course not! Because Shirley is a damn superhero. Originally booked to stay nights and visit during the day, Miss Shirley adapted to the insurrection that was occurring and made arrangements to provide 24-hour care. After a particularly bad night that would have sent anyone else running for the hills (and buddy, they'd have to run far with Illinois being flatter than a pancake), Shirley not only continued with the booking, but went to the pharmacy for Dolly's anxiety medication prescribed that morning. After the unbelievable shenanigans these sasspots put her through, Shirley greeted us with a smile upon our return and told us we had darling little angels. Our plants were watered, the condo was neat and clean, and the girls looked happy and healthy. Since that fiasco took place, Shirley has been a saint and continued to babysit the very non-babies. We will literally plan our trips around her schedule because no one can keep our heathens happy like she can. Well, except David. David is another saint who can get Dolly to go on walks like she's at a dog show. Even our curmudgeon doorman has stopped me to say how impressed he was with David's handling of the Doll. It doesn't get better than Shirley & Co.
