Our dog stayed there recently and best we can tell she was not let out to potty and we had to wait almost an hour for someone to show up in order to pick he up. There were 2 other pet parents waiting also and the person that showed up had no clue, was only there to feed the boarders.

    Yeah...no. I love the idea of an indoor dog park but the reality, at least for this dog park, is…read morethe smell that people have already mentioned in the reviews. I figured there would be a smell, we are talking about animals, but the stench of urine in the play area is so strong we barely lasted 10 minutes. I have never experienced this strong smell at the vets or the groomers. Perhaps better ventilation would help. Or more thorough cleanings? I'm not sure I do not know what they do to keep the place sanitary but it's not working. Upon arrival with our puppy and two kiddos, we were told right away that because we had children with us he could not play in a room with other dogs for liability reasons. This makes sense but we were not aware of this rule and honestly it defeats the purpose for us. We want him to have interaction with other dogs, but also to be able to be available to play and protect him. In fact, they recommend that children do not come at all. If you do venture here, I suggest bringing your own toys and possibly a bowl or some kind of way to give your pup a drink. They provide bags for picking up poop. There were a couple of balls in the room, but they were wet and disgusting. The staff we met were very kind, and I hate to leave a review like this, but we will not be back. They do offer babysitting and grooming and have self grooming stations. Tucked right off of O street near the Asian Community Center. You also must provide vaccination records before playing. The vet was able to fax it over right away for us.

    I've had two sitters for my cat, Mango, from A Pause for Paws. These folks are great! I wouldn't…read morepay a friend this much, but I like the attention and flexibility this company offers. I travel for work, sometimes notified at the last minute, and it's so nice to know they're available for me (even if I do e-mail them after their requested 2-week prior window...oops). I appreciate that I'm left notes on each day the sitter visits, with details on Mango's behavior, the state of my apartment, and any concerns they might have that I can follow up on upon my return. From what I read, Mango loves the sitter! It's impressive to me because Mango is a very shy cat and very hesitant to go near strangers, especially anyone who is loud. My sitter, Lisa, must be sweet and soft-spoken for Mango to love her. I feel guilty about leaving Mango when I'm gone, but I'm put at ease by using a sitter. I don't have much experience with hiring pet sitters, but I don't think I could ask for a better one right now. She even sent me a handwritten thank you note for the tip I left her. Also, if you choose to go with APFP, follow them on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/APauseForPaws They post pictures of some of the pets they sit. It's great seeing how Mango is doing even when I'm 1,000+ miles away. All-around a great company, accommodating of my crazy schedule, and wonderful customer service. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a petsitter.

    We used the in-home boarding for our dog and our son's dog who we were watching at the time we took…read morea short trip. The boarders name was Lori and she was wonderful, and the dogs did fine at her house. I do not like boarding house dogs where they are kept in rows of kennels, so this was a great option. The reason I only gave this 3 stars is the price. They charge $36 a day PER DOG!! The last kennel we used gave a discount for a 2nd dog in the same family and I wish they would consider something like that. We dropped them off on a Thursday morning, had our daughter pick them up on Sunday at noon because they charge by the hour, and our bill was $259. I also tipped Lori $40 since she only gets a portion of what the company collects. Darn near cost as much as our hotel stay in Chicago for 3 nights! Janis
