“I recommend the staff at Dogs Deserve It to anyone who is looking for reliable services, friendly staff and walkers knowledgeable about leash training. Because who deserves it more than man's best friend?”

— Gina, West Loop

“There is nothing I don't love about dogs deserve it. The staff was responsive and nice about setting up an initial visit with us, and I really valued the fact that they come visit you and talk with you and meet your dog before signing a contract.”

— 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.”

— Stephanie, Lincoln Park

“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.”

— Becky, West Town

“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

“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.”

— Jackie, Lakeview

“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.”

— Tom, North Center

“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!”

— Daniel, Bucktown

“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

“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.”

— Eileen, River North
