I just wanted to thank you for the dog-walking plus services you have provided my boys, then Rudy, and now Bosco over the last 4 -5 years. From the start, you built not only a level of trust and comfort with me but with my boys, especially Rudy who had such a strong bond with me. Both boys have always enjoyed their walks with you or one of your staff. You have been very flexible with the schedules we keep and have been there even when it was not easy to do so.
You and your team of dog walkers have made the walks enjoyable and fun for my boys. & you are so keen on identifying anything that may be wrong.
My most memorable even was when you took care of Rudy when he began suffering seizures. You stayed with him and comforted him until you knew I could be there with him. You were very kind in your thoughts and words when Rudy needed to go to a place where he would not suffer any more.
Then, Bosco came along….what a totally different personality than Rudy (the sweet well-behaved boy) to Bosco, the goofball. I am not sure who has more fun on his walks (Bosco or his trusty dog-walkers). You helped transition him into his new home and worked with him on his leash manners. He has come a long way and of course, still remains the goofball.
I have and will continue to recommend Windy City Dog Walkers services to future clients because of the quality, level of commitment, trust and genuine caring you have provided to both Rudy and Bosco.
Bosco and I look forward to having you and your team of dog-walkers take care of Bosco. Bosco is looking forward to his continued walks.
I am writing this letter to tell you how pleased we are with the services that your company has been providing. Dustin has been walking our Jack/Rat Terrier, Abby, since February of 2007. Since he started walking her we have noticed a positive change in her demeanor and attitude. It is obvious that in addition to his 25 minute walks with her, he is teaching her to be more obedient as well. The long walks have given her the chance to socialize with other dogs in the neighborhood and work out some of her hyperactivity. We always look forward to receiving Dustin’s positive notes when we return home. We do not worry about Abby at all anymore during the day, knowing that Dustin will be there to check on her. In addition, if we have any problems with Abby we feel 100% confident in contacting you to ask your opinions and get recommendations. It is obvious you have a great knowledge and love for dogs, and that you are passionate about helping people help their dogs.
When Dustin first started walking Abby she would be afraid to come out of her crate, and now she bounds out at the sound of his voice. Unfortunately, Dustin has now been added to the list of people she has jealousy issues with. When Dustin attempts to pet another dog she barks and gets upset. He is the only other person besides us (her parents!) that she loves so much that she needs all of his attention. This says a lot about the time that Dustin spends with her.
Thank you so much for employing Dustin, and for offering such a great service to us.

We moved to the West Loop earlier this year and have been so lucky to find Windy City Dog Walkers! Every single person that works there is not only very professional but extremely loving to our dog, Jac. It has been such a savior to have an awesome group that we can rely on and know that our dog is well taken care of. The proof has been seeing ourselves how happy our dog is when his walker, Dustin, comes to visit him. At times the other walkers have substituted, and our dog may not know them as well, but you can tell he is very happy to see them as well.
I strongly recommend them to anyone that needs a dog walking group!
I am pleased to provide this letter of reference for Windy City Dog Walkers as a client for the past three years. I have found Tony and Dustin to be very caring and responsible in their care of Scout. I receive a short note every day with her activities for the day, any questions or comments on her health, behavior, or schedule updates when appropriate.
Recently I have been doing obedience work with Scout and the walkers have been supportive in following the same procedures that I am instilling. Additionally, I know that when Scout is being walked by Dustin or Tony, they use the obedience commands to make sure that their walks are safe (and fun).
know that they have both developed a great relationship with Scout, as she is super excited to run into them on the street when I am walking her. I am completely satisfied that Scout is getting the best attention possible through Windy City Dog Walkers and I am happy to provide additional information upon request.

Dustin has been great for Sammie, our Saint Bernard. She enjoys her walks with him, and we know we can feel that he's taking great care of her. Whether for her daily walks or house-sits, we trust Dustin with our dog unconditionally! And, they have never missed a walk, in the rare cases Dustin can't make it, they've always had a reliable backup.
