What people are saying about Windy City Paws:
Katie & the Windy City Paws team are a dream! I need a dog-walker from time to time, but with a relatively unpredictable schedule I often only can anticipate a need about 24-hours in advance, but Katie & team have always been able to support. Love the online booking system and the online notes so that I can check… More..
Thank you, Katie and Andrea, for taking such good care of Bailey. We could not ask for a better dog walking company. Windy City Paws is professional and easy to work with. I love being able to add or cancel walks on the computerized system – it’s so easy! You always check and double-check entries on the system to… More..
Our dog walker’s have all been wonderful. They are on-time, very friendly, professional, and organized – they love my dog and best of all give her treat’s when she has been a good pup. They consistently go above and beyond, from working with my dog to walk better on a leash to cleaning up messes left from when she… More..
Katie and the staff at Windy City Paws have been walking my dog Coco since I brought her home and I’m confident that she’s in good hands when I’m away. Katie took the time to come and meet Coco before I scheduled any walks for her and asked very detailed questions about Coco’s habits, disposition, etc., to ensure that… More..
Windy City Paws has been walking my puppy, Daisy, since I first brought her home and I do not know what I would do without them! Daisy loves her walks and I love that our walker Andrea is so responsible and dependable. It’s clear that the walkers with Windy City Paws truly care about the pets they walk every… More..
Windy City Paws is Chicago’s best dog walking service! They have value-added services like convenient online scheduling and payment options. Over the past months, I have built a strong relationship with the owner, walker, and staff that make me feel more like “friends” are taking care of my pet. I trust them explicitly in my home and with the… More..
When I started a new job, with longer hours, and would no longer be able to come home over lunch to take care of my dog Francesca, I knew that we needed to hire a dog walker. I was always a bit wary of using a dog walker, but was immediately put at ease when we met Katie and… More..
I found Katie by chance on an online ad and I’m sure glad I did! She has been so great with my dog, Frankie, and comes without fail to walk him 4x/week! She leaves little notes to update me on how he did each day which I really appreciate. I trust Katie with my dog and have referred her… More..
I “LOVE” Windy City Paws! Katie is so helpful and accommodating. Harper has had a few walkers and he has loved each walker. Minku currently walks him and I adore the notes that he leaves. They treat Harper as more than just a pet which is really special. I recently had to help a friend out and sit for… More..
Whenever in need, I know Janice, with Windy City Paws, is a phone call away. Katie’s selection of walkers is top-notch. Monday thru Friday, Janice takes Harvey for his daily walk and he always returns happy as can be and I notice how calm he is with her and attribute this to her soothing way with animals.
Thank you for… More..
Katie and the rest of the Windy City Paws team have been fabulous with our puppy Henry. They are organized, on time, and Henry loves them! Their online system is especially helpful because we can sign online from wherever we are and see how his walk went. Windy City Paws was recommended by a friend and we are thrilled… More..
Katie has been taking care of Izzy since I adopted her back in 2005. I always feel comfortable going out of town knowing that Katie is there if anything were to happen. Izzy is a pretty high maintance cat. Katie has always been very helpful taking on the special requests I have, like turning on the faucet for Izzy… More..
I cannot say enough of how lucky we were to find
Windy City Paws and meet Katie and her team. My dog, Jack, is a rescue who is aggressive, skittish, untrusting and very hard to win over. From the very first meeting, I felt comfortable with WCP’s professionalism, as well as personalized approach. They took the time to sit down… More..
We’ve been using Windy City Paws for several months now, and have nothing but wonderful things to say! Their walkers are not only reliable but have a vested interest in your pet. Our walker Joe is even coming over on the weekend to help with some additional training with Karma, our 8 month old puggle. Katie is very responsive,… More..
I love Katie and Windy City Paws! I have been using them since I got my puppy over a year ago and can’t say enough. From helping with puppy walk’s to now getting him out during the day, Kingstons’ walker is professional, and I know he has a good time. They leave detailed notes both online and in the… More..
When I first adopted Klaus, I was running home on my lunch break to feed him and let him out, but I didn’t have enough time to take him for a lengthy walk. Since he wasn’t getting much midday exercise, he was extremely energetic in the evenings, and he didn’t sleep more than a couple hours at night; it… More..
Windy City Paws is great! They have walked my puppy on multiple occasions, and have always been kind, courteous, and great to work with. Online scheduling, electronic invoicing, and “updates” of how the walk went makes it really convenient too! I highly recommend Windy City Paws!More..
I’ve been using Windy City Paws for a year now. Janice has walked Lola the entire time and is fabulous! Lola loves to hear her come through the door each afternoon. I work from home so I see her nearly every day. She is always prompt and extremely loving toward Lola. Janice has also stayed in my home with… More..
We love Windy City Paws!!! Katie and her team of walkers are our trusted friends and confidantes, and love our dogs like we do. Lucy & Ollie are healthier and happier for having their daily walks, pets, and snuggle times while we’re at work. We can’t thank WCP enough for the care they show our pups and our family!!More..
The Windy City Paws staff is professional, friendly and very prompt! Katie responds quickly to our requests and always sends friendly and trustworthy walkers to take care of our dog, Lulu. The walkers leave detailed notes at our home and upload notes onto the company’s software program on the internet. Our dog walker, Charles, even cleaned Lulu’s paws when… More..
Windy City Paws has been Macie’s dog walker for the past year and we love them! They have an easy online system to make or cancel walks and to see what “business” your dog carried out that day. The dog walkers also leave notes saying how the walk was, what time, and doggy business again! The walker only walks… More..
This is our first time having a dog walker, and I can honestly say we have zero complaints. The online system is fantastic, and I love having the option of canceling or scheduling walks online. They also leave handwritten notes, so when you get home, you know what kind of business your dog did. Katie put us completely at… More..
We have been using Windy City Paws for several months and are very happy with their service! We were pretty nervous about strangers coming into our house and having a key, but Katie made us feel very comfortable and was willing to do anything to ease our concerns. They walk our two dog’s everyday and are consistent, reliable, and… More..
The entire staff at Windy City Paws is wonderful! We’ve been happy with their services since we enrolled our black lab, Murphy, in 2009. Our dog walker is kind, reliable and always on-time. We are happy knowing that Murphy is well taken care of and gets a 30 minute walk each day. Windy City Paws has a convenient online… More..
My puppy, Niblet, is sweet but a little timid and shy. Her walker, Joe, was so gentle and great with her and she became comfortable with him right away…although now I think she gets more excited when he walks in the door than when I do. When I have to be out of town Joe comes and stays with… More..
We started with Windy City Paws in September 2009 after we were saddened when our former dog walker surprised us with the news that she had to move on. We were totally caught off guard and doubtful if anyone could fill the shoes left to fill. We have two, small, yet very active, high energy, dogs and after a… More..
I love Windy City Paws! I have had nothing but exceptional service with them, even when I call very last minute and need a dog walk that day or the next day, Katie is very accommodating. I also really love the notes that the walkers leave for me so I know how my dog behaved and what she… More..
We’ve been using Windy City Paws for about two months and have been VERY satisfied with our walker (Joe T.). Sophie has really grown attached to Joe and he’s taught her so much in the time they’ve spent together… it makes it easy for us to keep up her puppy training when we have such a reliable service providing… More..
I adopted my dog last September and we tried another walker before going with Windy City Paws. We have been with them for seven months now and would never turn back! Our dog is always well taken care of and the walkers even do the little extra touches we do when we come home as well. It’s great to… More..
I recently moved and no longer had anyone to take my puppy, Tatum, outside during the day. I had never used a dog walking service so was a little cautious about having an unfamiliar person walk Tatum as well as the potential money involved. Katie and Joe, however, have been absolutely wonderful with my dog and you can’t beat… More..
Windy City Paws has been great since we started using them about two and a half months ago! After getting our dog, Whiskey, in October 2008, my husband and I struggled to find a good dog walker who was reliable, consistent, and easy to get in touch with.What really sets Windy City Paws above other services in Chicago, aside…

I have nothing but good things to say about Windy City Paws. They are flexible when you need to cancel a walk appointment. Our walker Julie has been great. You can check the status of a walk or change account info online so you can get an update on your pup. Cost is right in line with any other… More..
I am a medicine resident and work long hours which means that I absolutely need a dog walker during the day to let out our basset hound Zoey. I have always been hesitant allowing strangers in our house when we are gone but this was all before I found Windy City Paws. Katie is ABSOLUTELY wonderful and the services… More..
