30 Min Periodic Walks and 60 Min Periodic Walks
Periodic Walks are a great option for clients who want flexibility or don’t need a consistent schedule of three or more days per week. They’re ideal for occasional coverage, shifting routines, or extra support when plans change week to week. While we can’t guarantee the same day and time for every visit, your best friend will still receive the same professional care, one on one attention, real-time visit updates, and the trusted pet care Lincoln Square dog owners count on.
Cat Sitting Services
In addition to dog walking, Windy City Paws offers in-home cat sitting services for Lincoln Square cat owners. A trained cat sitter comes directly to your home—no boarding, no travel, no stress for your cat. Each visit includes feeding, litter box cleaning, enriching playtime, and a visit recap so you always know your furry friend is doing well.
Daily Cat Visits
Daily cat sitting visits require a recurring scheduled service of a minimum of 3 visits per week Monday–Friday. This service has a minimum requirement of 30 days. Daily cat visits occur 8am–5pm. Evening if desired: 5pm–8pm.
Your cat will be paired with a dedicated sitter—a true animal lover—who learns their habits and personality, providing the kind of consistent, attentive pet care that keeps your cat calm, comfortable, and well cared for.
Periodic Cat Visits
Our periodic cat sitting visits are designed for vacation care. Instead of boarding your cat, we send a trained sitter to your home where your cat is most comfortable and in their safe environment. Periodic cat visits occur between 8am–5pm. Evening if desired: 5pm–8pm.
