Irving Park where have you been all my pups life?! Let me start by saying my dog sitter cancelled a…read moreday before my planned trip for Thanksgiving to Florida. I was so close to cancelling my trip altogether when I found out about Andrew and Irving Bark from a family friend. The facility is very dog friendly and conveniently located to me and I would imagine most of the city. I love love love that Andrew lives on site since he's always nearby the dogs and they are never really alone. I also love how he is near the emergency vet in case of emergency and right across from a pet store in case I drop the babes and forgot something last minute. The facility is very nice and dog friendly, its doesn't have unnecessary frills and the yard outside is so nice and completely fenced in. My Pomeranians got their own room and I was allowed to bring their fave beds and even their stroller and Andrew and Margaret took them on a stroll at my request as not to mess up their usual routine too much! They sent my husband and I daily updates and pics and always had a camera on the pups so they can watch them from anywhere. I loved that so much. Their special meals were all given on time and they got lots of exercise in the fenced yard. One of my Poms is very very anxious and scared of people but by the time I went to pick him up he was cuddling with Margaret and almost didn't want to come with me! One of my Poms is very fragile 3 lb elderly guy and they were so gentle and careful with him, even more than I would be myself. My babies were so well taken care of, I am confident I will use Andrew and Irving bark ahead of all of my other sitter options forever. Never have I taken a trip and had such peace of mind that my dogs were well handled, safe and most importantly, HAPPY! Can't say enough good things about Irving Bark, Andrew and Margaret.

They're wonderful, professional, reliable, caring, kind people - and your dog will be happy and safe in their hands. They even live on-site.

If I could give more stars, I absolutely would! We brought our 8-month-old puppy to Found, and he…read morehad the BEST experience in PupStart+. While every aspect of the program was fantastic, two things really stood out. First, the team genuinely cares about every dog--it's clear in everything they do. Second, this wasn't just a training experience for our puppy; it was a learning experience for us as owners, too. As first-time puppy owners, they gave us the skills and confidence we needed, and the progress our puppy made was incredible. We can now take him places and truly enjoy the experience. We initially signed up for six weeks but extended it by three more because of how much progress he was making--and because we knew the impact would be long-lasting. We're even planning to bring him back this summer for additional off-leash training (and because we're pretty sure he misses it!). I can't say enough positive things about the facilities, the staff, and the level of care they provide. They're always available to answer questions and show a genuine investment in each dog's success. It's also such a relief to have found a place we trust for boarding and grooming. Thank you, Found, for everything--you've truly changed our lives and our puppy's life!!

Penny gets socialization, training, and exercise at Found, but she's never over worked or over simulated when she gets home. I feel safe leaving Penny there to be boarded during longer trips, and her daycare routine means she gets variety in her week. We both love Found!
