Field Days Dog Walking

We selected Field Days when we lived in the West Loop as our dog walker for a number of reasons. They have competitive rates and an online service for scheduling/​canceling walks that was very easy to use. David came over before our dog Griffy’s first walk to get to know him and to talk to us about anything specific Griffy needs. He’s a very anxious rescue dog and David was wonderful with him. When someone else started to walk Griffy, they came along with David for a few walks to transition. The staff at Field Days are professional, kind, understanding and compassionate. I couldn’t recommend them more!

Field Days is seriously the best, I would recommend them to anyone who has pets. They don’t just do dog walking — they take care of cats too! Anyone who has cats and plans to be gone for a few days knows the litter box concern, worrying about what sort of mess you’re going to come home to. On top of that, my two cats are like dogs in that they LOVE and NEED tons of attention, so when I realized last fall that I had three multi-​week trips coming up, I was in a panic to find someone that I could rely on to take care of the girls. I had been relying on friends, but they have their own lives and weren’t super reliable so I decided I needed to bring in the professionals.
Field Days came highly recommended, and when I reached out, David couldn’t have been easier to work with. Super friendly, very professional, and incredibly reliable. We set up an every-​other-​day schedule for the upcoming trips for a 30 minute visit to tend to the litter box and pet/​play with the cats, and I have honestly notice a difference — the cats don’t get quite as upset when the suitcases come out because they know someone’s going to come visit! David and Debra have both had my cats on their schedule and I couldn’t be more pleased with both of them. I travel a lot, for work and for fun, and every trip that I have planned since last fall, I’ve emailed Field Days and they have either had or made the availability for me. Bonus — they’ll send you updates so that you don’t have to worry about a thing while you’re away.
If you travel a lot, or even have a pet that needs some extra attention during the day while you are at work, I would HIGHLY recommend Field Days. They’re worth every penny.

David is the one who walked my Australian Shepherd. Jazzy can be a mess of nerves, but she warmed up quite quickly to David when she met him. Him walking her was so really great for her and it really helped with her energy, but also her overall mood improved. I always loved getting notes (and sometimes surprise treats!) about how she was on the walk, and David was pretty consistent with the time frame which I asked to have her walked.
He came over to meet her before accepting us as clients, walked through how they do things at Field Days Dog Walking, and the best part — you can do everything online! Scheduling, payment, etc — and if you ever have trouble, don’t hesitate to ask David because he’s incredibly friendly :)!
I’ve since moved away from Chicago, but I felt I should come back and write a review because it’s hard to find really great dog walking companies, and I have no regrets, only positives, to write about Field Days Dog Walking.
TL;DR; Field Days Dog Walking is amazing. Totally trustworthy, incredibly friendly, and your dog will love them. :) It’s one less thing to worry about, because your pup will be in completely capable hands!

I don’t think I can say enough positive things about Field Days! They have been walking our pup Brody for over a year now and have made our lives so much easier. They walk Brody anywhere between 3 – 5 days a week and are consistently reliable and flexible (as our schedules can be very inconsistent and crazy). They leave notes each day about their walks and I can tell they truly care about the well-​being of the dogs and aren’t just doing a job. We have also noticed a significant decrease in our dogs separation anxiety since hiring them.
Thanks David, Miranda and team for taking care of our fur baby!

Field Days has been so helpful and comforting since we started using their services a couple months back. They’re super communicative, ask smart questions about my dog and preferences around walks & feedings, and have been able to help me out in some serious pinches when I couldn’t make it home from work in time for a night walk. I’d recommend them to everyone from my closest pals, to you, internet friends. Will definitely keep using them. They really care and it shows.

Field Days has been so reliable and wonderful since we started using their services a few months ago! We have regular walks for our dog Dutch but when we went out of town for a few days last week we decided to use their ‘vacation services’. Our dog does not do well being boarded and unfortunately we had no one that could stay at our apartment with him the entire time we were gone. Not only did Field Days keep Dutch well fed, exercised and up-​to-​date on his eye medications, they also came through for us by extending the vacation care when we were unexpectedly delayed coming home due to a medical emergency. Our dogs’ wellbeing was my first thought when I realized we would not make it home the day we originally planned. Field Days stepped in with no problem and gave us peace of mind during a really crazy time. Thank you David and everyone at Field Days!

Ladies and gentlemen, you can stop your search for a good dog walker.
I’m a picky son of a gun when it comes to my animals. Years of working in various animal-​related fields have left me with very high standards and very low tolerance for bullshit.
I’m not made of money, however, and premium pet services tend to cost an arm and a leg.
Field Days has solved this conundrum. Prompt, efficient, friendly communication led to me meeting our walker within 36 hours of first contacting the company. David’s friendly demeanor and attention to detail made me feel comfortable handing over my keys and scheduling service to start in just a few days.
My roommate is often home when he stops by to walk my girls, and I won’t lie– I’ve made it a point to be in the neighborhood (unannounced, and as far as I know, undetected) at walk time a few times. My roommate raves about his interactions with them, and I’m nothing but impressed. My dogs are difficult (one is geriatric, the other is dog aggressive) and I feel comfortable with their safety and well-​being. I feel comfortable with him being in my house (possibly too comfortable… sorry about the dirty laundry on the floor!).
I’m confident in the character of the person walking my dogs. I’m confident in his ability to handle my dogs and his willingness to treat them well. Communication is great, and the price is right. I’ll happily recommend this company to anyone who asks.

After moving from Lakeview I was in need of a new dog walking service, and Field Days has been outstanding. The walkers do a great job with my dog. They are also really good at communicating, which is really important to me. I highly recommend Field Days if you’re looking for a quality walking service that answers questions and concerns in a timely and effective way. Thanks guys.

Field Days Dog Walking is by far the best dog walkers in the area. My dogs can be a little difficult to walk but David and the rest of the staff never seem to have a problem. It is a huge stress reliever to know when I leave town my dogs are in great hands. They are honest, trustworthy, loving, and caring, what more could you as for. Plus they always leave great updates so you know exactly how your dog is doing. I would highly recommend their affordable services to anyone.

I switched to Field Days a few months ago and could not be happier. In addition to my daily walks I have a lot of last minute additions. David is so accomodating and always makes sure my dogs are taken care of. Sandra is our primary walker and has bonded wonderfully with the puppies. It is a little nervewracking to trust someone new with your babies especially if you have had some bad experiences previously but David and his team make you feel secure and comfortable that your furry children are getting the best possible care.

David has been a friend of mine for years, but that being said, Field Days Dog Walking is an excellent service! They are friendly and reliable and their online system is helpful and easy to use. For a nervous new dog owner, they went above and beyond to give updates to ease our minds. Highly recommended!

I have yet to use Field Day’s dog walking service (only because I don’t have a dog); however, I worked with David (owner) from 2007 – 2011. He is honest, fun-​loving, timely, and a great all around person. I only have great things to say about David and would trust him 100% with my future dog.
