Playtime Pet Care

I would highly recommend Playtime Pet Care. The owners seem to have a strong passion and genuine love for dogs. The dogwalker Will has often texted me photo’s of my dog while at work (Which warms my heart). Not only do I get a report card if my lil pup has pooped or peed, but also what other dogs in the neighberhood they bumped into. My security guards had observed the walker also running along side my pup in the field. Which was great as she has crazy puppy energy. They have the warmth of a family business as the efficiency of corporation. I can’t say enough positive things about them. Roger

Flexible, dependable, trustworthy dog care.
Working long and sporadic hours, I need a dog walker that is flexible with last minute requests, and Playtime accommodates me. Scheduling and changing times is simple and easy, and they never complain about my ever-​changing schedule. Payment is easy with Paypal. I don’t have to keep cash on hand or write checks. They are always professional and easy to work with, as dog walkers should be.
I have a dedicated walker for 95% of the services, which makes me feel at ease both from a security standpoint and it gives my dog a consistent friend she knows.
I also needed a walker that could handle my 50 lb dog who is aggressive towards other dogs. Unfortunately, I can’t trust just anyone to walk her, and I have had zero problems with Playtime. Her walker is amazing with her, takes lots of photos of her during their walks, then posts them on a shared site for me to see. There is nothing better during a stressful day to take a doggie break and see all the new photos of my dog’s newest adventures!
I got into a pickle and had to leave my dog overnight for the first time by herself. My amazing walker, Mark, came by to take her for her evening walk, her morning walk, and even gave her her morning dose of Prozac (for the agression). I was so worried and asked him to just text me and let me know she was ok when he stopped by. He was so kind and understanding. He texted me photos of her, took great care of her, and called to reassure me.
I have been using their services for over a year now and don’t plan on changing. I only wish I could use their other services, like play time at the beach!

We highly recommend Playtime Pet Care to anyone in need of a dog walker/​dog sitter. It turns out that we both had to be out of town for a few days, and Mark from Playtime not only walked our pups but stayed over the night with them. He sent pictures and texts of the ladies out on their walks and was responsive to my texts as well. I really appreciated the updates — and I could see from the pics that the ladies were having a blast! They leave cute little report cards after each walk and visit — plus the prices are very reasonable. We will be using Playtime Pet Care again in the future!

An update after another experience with Playtime Pet Care: a-​mazing…
Not only was my apartment once again cleaner when I came back from my trip, but my cat was well fed and happy. He had been brushed and played with — Playtime even helped fashion a new toy for my baby! And… they fixed my building fob which had broken right before I left on my trip — bonus!
Seriously, they’re amazing. I’m only reluctant to post a good review because I don’t want everyone to know what a gem they are… I found them first!

I am not going to use any dog walking service to look-​after Ms Madison-​she is 14 years old and requires the best! Playtime Petcare is RELIABLE –TRUSTWORTHY and PROFESSIONAL! I have peace of mind knowing that her walker from Playtime provides excellent care. They are accountable and punctual regardless of the Chicago elements! I am comfortable reaching out to them to find out how she did on her outing-​and they will do the same for me. I get a daily update-​and sometimes a photo! I have recommended their services to all my «dog friends»!

We highly recommend Playtime Petcare to anyone! Our Boston Terrier Macey doesn’t really like to walk much, but loves to play ball in our courtyard — and they run her around in there every day. Our neighbors comment on how great they are with Macey and how much fun they both have playing. We always come home to a happy dog and love getting our daily personalize report card. Playtime Petcare has been professional, friendly, and extremely easy to work with.

If you live in Chicago and have a four-​legged friend who needs some attention while you are gone, use Playtime Pet Care! They are wonderful! They are so friendly, dependable, caring and easy to work with! My dog walker goes above and beyond her responsibilities. She always leaves a personal note about their walks, will let me know if my dog is not feeling well and occasionally she send pictures of my dog on their walks. The owners will also check in every once in a while to make sure that everything is going okay and that I am happy with the services. Now that is excellent customer service! Trust me, you will be happy with their services!
