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 8:00am and 5:00pm, with consistent days and times each week (for example: Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 11:00am–1:00pm). Each Chicago dog owner on a daily schedule is matched with a dedicated walker who gets to know your dog’s personality, routine, and pet’s needs from day one. This is the best option if you need reliable, recurring pet care services in the South Loop.

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 furry friend will still receive the same professional care, detailed real-time visit updates, and trusted Chicago area dog walkers who know the South Loop inside and out.
Cat Sitting Services
Windy City Paws also provides cat sitting services for South Loop cat owners—in-home visits that bring professional cat care directly to your door. No boarding, 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 family member is in good hands.
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 team member who gets to know their personality and routine, delivering consistent cat care that keeps your cat comfortable, engaged, and happy every weekday.
Periodic Cat Visits
Our periodic cat sitting visits are designed for vacation pet care—a trained cat sitter comes to your home while you’re out of town, so your cat stays in their safe, familiar environment rather than a boarding facility. Periodic cat visits occur between 8am–5pm. Evening if desired: 5pm–8pm.
