They go out of their way for you. They remember his name. They remember what he eats. I can't imagine a better place in Chicago for boarding or purchasing supplies and toys and food or even training.

My dog won't let us walk down this street without begging to go in Urban Pooch. On a recent walk as a pulled him along from the from of the door, a staff member came outside and down the sidewalk just to give him a treat. It was so sweet and thoughtful! On a walk a few days later, we decided to stop in. The store front is very clean and well organized. Compared to other boutique pet shops, the prices are good! We left with a bulley stick for my dog, plus he got lots of treats + loved on by a bunch of the staff there. You can tell the love and care for animals is extremely genuine.

I took my King Charles Cavalier to Paws and Claws for bath and a little trim near her butt. She…read morewas groomed by the OWNER. Not the first time I had been here. She trummed the hair on her back I don't know why. Three days later my dog was jumping on sofa , gave her a little push and she cried. (She had been licking her butt ever since her grooming). She would not let me look. My vet had no appointment so took her to immediate care. Vet told me she had her butt cut, it had dried blood and was raw and red. She had to get cleaned up got a cone and meds And had to return following week. Cost over $200 and my dog in pain. Owner is dishonest and never told me she cut my dog. Don't take your dog here you don't know what can happen to your dog. I could only post by giving a star but this groomer does not deserve any stars.

Eventually our newcomer, Blondie will be a client too. She's still little and kind of lets me clip her claws. Alicia and Rosa are fantastic and we won't go elsewhere.

We're so grateful to have found Jerry! He watched our two dogs for a week right after our move to…read moreChicago, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The dogs came back calmer, happier, and clearly well cared for. We weren't worried for a second while we were away -- Jerry was incredibly kind, reliable, and accommodating of all their little quirks and routines. Truly gave us peace of mind during a hectic time, and we're so thankful to have someone we trust with our pups. Highly recommend! Attached Nala getting hugs and Simba being a cutie!!

I am very particular about who we leave her with and I always know she's in the best hands with him. It's been a great alternative to traditional boarding because Ruby isn't confined to a crate/room and gets ton of love and attention. He's super communicative and flexible with scheduling plus Ruby gets SO excited to see him when we drop her off. He's been very attentive to any specific needs (special diet, medication) and always sends check-ins while we're away. Would highly highly recommend Boy Meets Dog anyone!!

We were thrilled to learn that she had opened Wiggly World Services, and have since taken advantage of those services on multiple occasions. Our dogs stayed with her while we honeymooned in Thailand, and her frequent updates kept us so at ease, allowing us to fully unwind and enjoy our time. We are now becoming more regular visitors for daycare services, and our dogs benefit SO much from the activity and socialization with other dogs and cats! I've attached some photo proof of our happy girl, and our tuckered-out boy. I can't recommend Wiggly World Services enough--please check them out if you're in need of daycare or boarding services.

They've done an exceptional job with our Sammy. The staff is not only highly skilled but also genuinely caring, ensuring our dog's well-being and progress every step of the way. Sammy can be very stubborn, and all the staff have been very patient and understanding of Sammy's behavior - knowing how to make adjustments with/in training - something other facilities/trainers lack. Sammy is much more at ease, obedient, and going on walks beautifully (he is also in better shape)! Their philosophy is one that every facility/trainer should uphold. Highly recommend!!! *Thank you, Bow Wow Behavioral!

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!!
