Expert Dog Walking Services
Windy City Paws offers two primary dog walking plans to accommodate various needs:
Daily Dog Walks (30 Min & 60 Min)
For clients requiring consistent professional dog walking, our Daily Schedule offers a recurring service of three or more days per week. These walks take place Monday through Friday, between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm, ensuring your dog maintains a regular exercise routine with consistent days and times each week. This service is ideal for ensuring your dog receives regular professional attention.
Periodic Dog Walks (30 Min & 60 Min)
Periodic Walks provide flexibility for clients who may not need a consistent weekly schedule or prefer more adaptable arrangements. These walks are perfect for occasional coverage, adapting to changing routines, or receiving extra support when plans shift. While the specific day and time may vary, you can expect the same high standard of professional care, detailed visit updates, and reliable service from our trusted Chicago dog walkers.
Compassionate Cat Sitting Services
We also provide specialized cat sitting services to ensure your feline companions receive the best care while you’re away.
Daily Cat Visits
This service requires a recurring schedule of at least three visits per week, Monday through Friday, and has a minimum duration of 30 days. Daily cat visits are conducted between 8 am and 5 pm, with an option for evening visits between 5 pm and 8 pm if desired.
Periodic Cat Visits
Periodic Cat Visits are designed as vacation care for when you are traveling. Instead of boarding your cat, which can be stressful, our trained cat sitters will visit your home. This allows your cat to remain in its familiar, safe environment, minimizing stress and anxiety. Visits occur between 8 am and 5 pm, with evening options available from 5 pm to 8 pm.

Windy City Paws is proud to be one of the few Fear Free Certified dog walking teams in Chicago. Our team members are extensively trained to identify and respond to signs of stress, anxiety, and fear in dogs.

This specialized approach ensures a safer and more comfortable experience for all dogs, particularly those who are nervous, shy, or sensitive to new environments, giving pet owners confidence in our care.
