Dogs Deserve It

Dogs Deserves It was created when the owner, Lauren Pietrocarlo, identified shortcomings in the dog walking industry and wanted to address them.

A dog lover herself, Lauren was aware of the importance of a daily walk to the health and well-being of her pets, along with their need for meaningful companionship. She became determined to create a service that would make this accessible to pets and their owners throughout the greater Chicagoland area.

Lauren worked with the top-respected dog trainers in the area to learn the proper way to walk a dog, as well as the way to introduce and reinforce positive behavior during this daily routine.

Clients’ pets greatly benefit from this special attention to on-leash etiquette. When your dog is walked, they are not aimlessly paraded through city streets. Instead, their walk is purposeful and engaging.

Moreover, pet CPR certification is required for all Dogs Deserve It walkers so your pet is always in safe hands.

Dogs Deserve It has been in business for over ten years meeting the needs of over 10,000 dogs, completing more than 400,000 walks!

Dogs Deserve It proudly serves the Lake View, Lincoln Park, Roscoe Village, Lincoln Square, Andersonville, Bucktown, Wicker Park, River North, West Town, Old Town, North Center, River West and West Loop communities.

Their services now expand beyond dog walking services including; puppy visits, pet sitting, pet taxi, pet photography, field trips, wedding escorts, cat care and rabbit care.
