Between North Western Avenue and North Ashland Avenue from West Addison Street at the south boundary to West Montrose Avenue at the north boundary — additionally covering the area immediately west of Graceland Cemetery.
North Center is a gem for dog lovers—leafy streets, quiet residential pockets, and just enough urban buzz to keep things interesting. At Windy City Paws, we’ve been walking dogs in North Center for over a decade, and we’re proud to be part of the daily rhythm of this close-knit neighborhood. Every member of our team is a genuine animal lover who treats your furry friend with the same care and attention they’d give their own pet.
We serve pet parents throughout 60618 and 60613, from Montrose to Addison and from Western to Ashland—including the tucked-away blocks west of Graceland Cemetery. Our professional Chicago dog walkers are nearby and ready to provide dependable pet care whenever you need it.
Clients with a recurring schedule of three or more service days per week qualify for our Daily Schedule pricing. Daily services are scheduled Monday through Friday between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, with consistent days and times each week (for example: Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 11:00 am–1:00 pm). Each dog on a daily schedule receives one-on-one attention from a dedicated walker who is matched to their temperament, energy level, and routine—making this the ideal choice for North Center pet parents who want the best dog walkers showing up reliably at their door.

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 perfect for occasional coverage, shifting routines, or extra support when plans change. While we can’t guarantee the same day and time for every visit, your furry friend will still receive the same one-on-one attention, real-time visit updates with notes and photos, and the trusted pet care services North Center dog owners count on.
Windy City Paws also offers in-home cat sitting visits for North Center cat owners. A trained cat sitter comes directly to your home—no boarding, no stress, no disruption to your cat’s routine. 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 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 8 am–5 pm. Evening if desired: 5 pm–8 pm.
Your cat will be paired with a dedicated sitter who gets to know their personality and habits, providing consistent, attentive pet care that keeps your cat calm and comfortable every day.
Our periodic cat sitting visits are designed for vacation care—a trained sitter comes to your home while you’re away so your cat stays in their safe, familiar environment instead of a boarding facility. Periodic cat visits occur between 8 am and 5 pm. Evening if desired: 5 pm–8 pm.

Whether you need daily walks or flexible cat sitting visits, you’ll have peace of mind from day one.
