Testimonials

Clients appreciate the Dogs Deserve It difference!

"We wholeheartedly recommend this company to any dog owner.

We feel particularly qualified to evaluate Dogs Deserve It, LLC because one of us was employed as a dog walker at a high end company in Washington, DC, we used other dog walker companies in Chicago before we found this one, and we are both extremely discriminating with regard to services for our Weimaraner, Harding.

We have been clients of Dogs Deserve It, LLC for the past ten months and intend to continue using their services as long as we live in Chicago.  From the first day on, Dogs Deserve It, LLC staff displayed the following exceptional qualities:

* Individualized approach to, and love of, dogs: We have had the opportunity to observe the walkers with Harding (both with their knowledge and, on a few occasions, driving by without their knowledge).  They were engaged with our dog, used the training techniques we requested and exhibited a very caring and attentive demeanor toward Harding.  Unlike most dog walkers in our neighborhood, the Dogs Deserve It, LLC walkers do not talk on their cell phones or listen to music when they are with the dogs.  To the contrary, they make their time with Harding about Harding.  Every day we receive detailed notes about Harding's walk.  These notes demonstrate a level of care and honesty that is unparalleled, especially in comparison to the other companies that we used in the past.  The best evidence: Harding is always excited to see his walker and arrives home happy time and time again!

* Qualified and well-trained staff: We first discovered Dogs Deserve It, LLC because they are the only dog walking service in Chicago that trains their walkers in effective leash training.  They learn how to correct the dog and reinforce good behavior.  With a dog like ours, that can be very challenging, yet, they excel.

* Highly professional and attentive staff: We have greatly enjoyed working with the owner of Dogs Deserve It, LLC.  Lauren is extremely professional, kind natured and responsive to our requests.  Somehow, she manages to fit in even our last minute requests for walks and is very flexible.  Her walkers are no exception and follow the example she sets.  

* Multiple services offered: We have also taken advantage of the other services offered by Dogs Deserve It, LLC, including the overnight pet sitting and dog taxi.  We were relieved to find someone we trusted to stay in our home with Harding and will continue to use this service.  In addition, Lauren was very patient with our dog and we were relieved to find a safe way to transport Harding to appointments when we are not available.

Based on our wonderful experience, we are confident that Dogs Deserve It, LLC is one of -- if not the -- best dog walking company in Chicago.  We are grateful to have found them and believe any dog owner would feel the same way." - Emily, Wrigleyville

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for walking Kaya - I can not believe how far you and Kaya walk in 25 minutes. Plus, I can tell that Kaya is not as crazy when I get home, because she has had some exercise- which we love! I really am just blown away by the services you provide and just so thankful that we found you!!!" – Becky, West Town

"I have a big, high energy dog that loves to go for walks in the city, but sometimes he's a very difficult dog to walk. If he's excited he's constantly pulling on the leash and trying to lead. Dog's Deserve It has done a great job teaching him how to walk. He now responds to simple leash etiquette techniques and now our walks are much more enjoyable. Lauren has done a great job with Dog's Deserve It, and consequently, all their staff is more than capable of walking even the most difficult dogs! A Great Service!" – Mark, Old Town

"As a dog owner with a busy schedule and living in the big city, one of my biggest worries is what will I do with my dog while I'm at work. Dogs Deserve It has taken all my worries away. Now I have a trustworthy company that not only walks my dog while I'm away, but gives Cali the attention and care she needs when I'm not able to. The dog walkers at Dogs Deserve It are dog lovers just like me, and I feel safe knowing that Cali is in good hands. I recommend the staff at Dogs Deserve It to anyone who is looking for reliable services, friendly staff, and walkers knowledgeable about dog training. Because who deserves it more than man's best friend?" – Stephanie, Wrigleyville

"My rescue dog, Maya treats Lauren as one of her owners. Lauren's gentle but firm actions toward Maya have taught her to listen and respond to direction. Lauren has taken the time to play and interact with Maya as well as all the other dogs being walked on the street. Since rescue dogs like Maya need an extra level of attention, Lauren's authentic love for dogs makes me feel at ease when I know she is taking care of Maya while I am gone." –Jackie, Lakeview

"Lauren is by far my dog Astor’s biggest fan. When Lauren arrives to walk Astor I am not sure who is more excited – Astor or Lauren. Lauren’s love and enthusiasm for dogs is palpable – from the moment she walks in the door tails are wagging. I know that when I leave for the day Astor’s afternoon will be filled with fun, great exercise and learning. Our dog is a member of the family and I feel at ease knowing he is in Lauren’s care while we are at work. I would highly recommend her services to all looking for high quality, responsible pet care!" –Andrea, Wicker Park
