Tailchasers is great…read more Matt came over to the house to help us decide on chosing him for watching our dogs. That alone is a big decision when you think of your dogs as family. He stayed for about an hour answering all of our questions and going through our routine with us. He and his company are very thorough and good at what they do. I felt I could trust him and his staff to come into our house without us being home. When they are done with the visit you get an email with all of the notes from the visit and sometimes you get pictures as well of the dogs playing. This allowed us to go out late on a weekend night. We plan on using them in the future.

I received a call the day after Christmas, that my dog was howling in pain and couldn't get up. I…read moreasked if they could get him to a vet and they said no, I had to pick him up. When arrived they wanted to use ropes to lift him with due to so badly soiled. So we supplied our own blanket and carried him to car. He was in obvious pain, soiled, bleeding from mouth. He was immediately taken to animal hospital and advised had to be put down for fractured back and kidney issues. When asked for an explanation Randa immediately sent a refund saying upon my request, which was just for explanation. When followed up was told I can't sue because I signed a waiver, that it was my fault for boarding an older dog and not boarded before. I never made any accusations or asked for anything but an explanation. I'm so devastated I left my pet/family member in their care.

Omg! I seriously can't believe I'm the first review! Sarah is hands down the best with animals…read more When I heard she was leaving the downtown job to start a pet care business I was so excited. Animals are Sarah's passion. She was caring and conscientious from the first time she came over to meet our 'kids' (Bacon, George, and Qui) pics below! She asked about feeding, walking, sleeping, and overall quirks of our dogs. We rescue older dogs and they come with some special needs but mostly just spoiling. Sarah is so good at spoiling my only fear was our dogs would love her more than they love us. Lol! I can't say that was far from the truth. We are having Sarah again in July/August and I'm at ease booking our tickets because I know I have someone who will care for our dogs as well as we do and that's so nice!

However, we also have lots of out of town family and 3 active kids so we needed someone to be there with them when we couldn't. When we travel, It was important to us to find a caretaker for them that loved them as much as we do- and Chris does just that. Before we book any family trip, Chris is our first call. We look forward to his updates while we're gone and the dogs look forward to his snuggles. Highly recommend him for all four legged pet services.

Very very professional and caring for your pets…read more Christopher is the ideal pet caregiver. He's very professional. Goes over paperwork to protect his clients needs. Explains in detail what he is able to do for your pets. He cares and that's all I needed to know and see. His service is the one you need . Thank you again Christopher for caring for our (Baby Dog ). I believe his company is most affordable within close range and always on time.

I have never used a pet service...now I will never use anyone else!…read more I have never had a need for anyone to watch and feed my cat (or previous cats) as I always had a friend or neighbor willing. However, this time I needed someone for my vacation and I was more than pleased. Valerie explained things wonderfully and made me feel at ease. Sherrie watched my cat...sent pics, videos, and left me updates for each day. She even let me know when something was "amiss" at my house (i.e. car in my driveway). She kept in touch and made me feel very comfortable. I was very happy with her and am so happy to know that she will be my primary. The price was way more reasonable than I thought it would be. I couldn't be happier with this first experience. (says I am in Hoffman....am in Palatine)

I searched and searched for a dog walking company on Thumbtack and on Yelp and finally came across…read moreone that served the Northbrook area. HAPC responded right away on Yelp, took my information, made a home visit, and we were on our way! Vanessa the owner was a dream. She met my moms dog Louie and started walking him and I would get daily status emails and pics of Louie when they were out and about. What I also love about HAPC is that I didn't have to go through so many hoops and applications like some other companies who ask for way too much info, like your dogs blood type and your blood type etc. I kid, but really, HAPC makes the process go a lot easier than what's out there. If you need a reasonably priced, reliable, and trustworthy dog walking company, I would not hesitate to contact Home Alone Pet Care. I thank you Vanessa, you're a life saver!

They are insured and bonded, which gives added peace of mind. Their prices are very reasonable, for the excellent personalized service provided. We met with their associate, and they took concise notes while taking the time to learn the layout and meet our cat. They confirmed the dates scheduled, did everything we asked, our cat was well cared for, and was kind enough to even check our mail. We're quite pleased with A Paw Above the rest, will recommend them to anyone who needs a pet sitter, and will be sure to use them in the future.

What I experienced here was not just poor service--it was outright negligent and deceptive. I was…read morehit with unclear, questionable charges while the staff failed to properly explain what was even happening with my cat. Instead of taking the time to diagnose the issue, they jumped straight to prescribing expensive medication without any real understanding of her condition. Even worse, my concerns were repeatedly dismissed. I brought up specific symptoms, only to be ignored. Basic diagnostic steps--like a simple blood test--weren't even offered, which is both shocking and unacceptable for any veterinary practice. To top it off, they attempted to push an additional treatment that had nothing to do with my cat's actual symptoms an obvious attempt to squeeze out more money rather than provide proper care. I have zero confidence in their judgment or ethics. I would not trust this place with the care of any animal. Do yourself a favor and take your pet somewhere that actually prioritizes their health over profit.

With that lack of common sense they killed a poor dog. Person responsible driving that van and picking up Miller should be fired and charged with animal abuse (cruelty), as should the business - for not having a great system put in place. This was preventable. How does someone not realize that the 110lb black lab they picked up was not in the play group?? An idiot. How does someone not see Miller in the crate when unloading the others? Do they not have a list to check when unloading the van to confirm they got everyone out or even a second pair of eyes to confirm? Reckless. This poor dog suffered a brutal death while thinking he was going to have the best day at daycare with his dog friends.
