I love Pets-Chicago because every Dog walker that works for you is reliable, and kind. They treat my Dakota as if he were theirs. Can’t ask for more than that. I am very fortunate to have them. I don’t ever have to worry.

We have been customers of PETS-CHICAGO since they started in business. I don’t have a lot of other dog walker services to compare them to but I can say without any hesitation that they are the most superb bunch of people that I have had the pleasure to know. They care deeply about our animals, they are punctual, they make very few mistakes and essentially no scheduling mistakes. Our animals love them and I hope they continue just as they are forever.

I would give Tamara a million stars if I could. My dog Reese is people and dog reactive and very high energy. We have worked with trainers to manage his reactivity, and he has improved so much with us - but he absolutely would not let anyone else come near him to put a leash on and walk him. We couldn’t figure out what to do with him while we worked because no one could really get near him. We tried 4 other walkers over 5 months and I truly lost all hope - he HATED them all. I reached out to my trainer in desperation, who recommend Tamara. Even after explaining my dogs behaviors and failed walkers, she was still willing to take on the challenge. She came over to meet Reese and just sat on the floor with a million treats until he was comfortable. She then did this for every day he needed a walk until he was comfortable. She has been walking Reese for about 8 months and sometimes he even still has a freak out on her when he has off days. She never gives up on him, she is always patient with him and she even brings other dogs with her to socialize him on walks. Not to mention she has learned his triggers outside and avoids them or manages Reese’s behaviors on walks. I do not know what we would do without her. I never would have imagined that Reese and her could be besties now - she even came to his birthday party. If you have a reactive dog, I would not trust anyone else walking them besides Tamara.
