    Tony is a lifesaver. It's difficult to find a facility that takes bully breeds AND has a pick-up/drop-off service. Yes, the facility is far from Logan, but when I went to visit, it's very clean, secured, and OPEN. I know my pup is not in a crate for more than half his time at daycare, rather he's not crated at all! The pictures I get are absolutely to die for! I know my dog is getting proper socialization and exercise when he goes to daycare. When I've been late coming home Tony is great with being able to get a walker for Bowie through the sister company Fido's Gotta Go. Don't fret with where this facility is located, especially if you're doing pick-up/drop-off. He also requires health records, so I'm not worried about my Bowie getting sick either. Send your pup to Fido's K9, they will thank you.

    This place is amazing, my dog loves to be here! I have left him for boarding, he feels like he is on vacation. The facility is clean, well guarded, they have supervision at all times. The dogs are treated great with so much care. In the summer they have a pool, loved water after he stayed here! I highly recommend this place, the dogs are not stuck in a cage they are getting their energy out by playing all day. I completely trust leaving him here while I go on vacation, I don't feel bad because I know he is having a great time! I won't leave him elsewhere, he gets so happy every time we approach the facility.

    Hammer at play!

    When it comes to your dog, if you're like me, you only want a place that's going to love them and treat them with the amount of care and respect you give them. So, why choose Tony and his crew when looking for a dog trainer? Because not only does he have years of experience working with many dogs, hundreds of hours of learning and training with leading professionals within the obedience field, but most importantly he LOVES what he does. I'm in my last year of college so dog training is a luxury for people like me, who only have a college budget, to begin with. However, it is something that I knew I needed to do for my dog without question. I live in the city but I work at a stable with horses, so not only did I need the basics taught to my dog but the commands needed to be solid and reliable off leash as well. Those commands are what keeps my dog safe when I am in the saddle or working at the stables during the summer. I called so many trainers, well over 50, and the reason I chose Tony (and will only ever choose him to ever work for my dog) is because he goes above and beyond for every single animal in his care. I cannot tell you how long he stayed on the phone during my initial informational call, noting every single concern I had. Tony actually LISTENED about who my dog was, who I was, and my hopes and dreams with my new pup. He not only understood my worries but laid out a thought out game plan that could work with my budget, and time I was asking for a lot: a trainer who could have a price range that I could actually work with, actually give me a well-trained dog and someone who would love my dog while under their care. Tony has stepped up to the plate in every single one of those aspects. During Hammer's (my dog) board and train, I would constantly be sent pictures and videos of Hammer, which was great to see especially since I missed him so much while he was away. Tony always gave me weekly calls to update me on Hammer's progress and to answer any questions or concerns I had at the time. He worked so hard to find a training method that actually worked on my pup. When my dog wasn't feeling well or was feeling stressed out Tony resorted taking my dog to HIS home in order to make him more comfortable and to be able to keep a better eye on him. He gave the best quality care and went above and beyond our expectations, and the dog he returned to me blew me away.He's so well trained that when I do take him to work, he even heels next to me as I'm ON my horse. I always get complimented on Hammer's behavior, temperament, and training which all comes as a result of all the hours and hard work that were put into him. Hammer still has a long way to go with his training and is now going to his second board and train with Tony in a couple of weeks. The reason why you should choose Tony to train, board or even walk your dog lies within my own personal story and experiences with him. He makes having a well-trained dog possible for anyone and works with the puppy parents as much as he works on the dog. He's not in this business to take peoples money, if he sees your dog need additional time after the agreed set training time he will put in the additional training time towards the dog with no additional fees. Trainers as dedicated and passionate as the one found within Fido's K9 are rare, so take the opportunity and give your dog the best Chicago has to offer.

    Our 2 dogs have been going to Fido's K9 for the past month or so. This may be the largest day care/boarding facility in the city. They have almost 5k square feet outside and another 2k inside. This is a brand new dog boarding/daycare/exercise facility that's the evolution of its founder Tony's long-successful dog walking and training service, called 'Fido's Gotta Go'. On the owner: anyone who knows Tony knows his passion for dogs. He's always educating himself on new training methodologies and the latest gear/technologies in dog training. This guy knows a lot about dogs. I've enjoyed picking his brain and using him as a resource to help me get a handle on my very energetic 3 year old pup Neko. On the Business: We started with the dog walks about a year ago and over the past month or so have been sending our dogs to the facility. We use the pickup/dropoff service twice a week and love it because the pickup is early (around 8am) and the drop off is late (around 5pm). This means our dogs are TIRED (satisfied?) when they get home. Tony sends us text recaps (along with photos) after dropping the dogs back off after a walk or day at the facility. Every single time. His level of service to the dogs and the dog owners is unparalleled in Chicago. I was formerly a customer of another doggie day care for a few years and in the early stages tried a handful of other facilities for boarding/day care. This is the tops.

    Tony and his crew are awesome considering I'm the most unreliable dog owner and am horrible at communication.

    We just had our first Chicago Pet Sitters experience and we are beyond thrilled with their service…read moreand relieved that we found a pet sitting company as detail oriented, friendly, and reliable as they are. We went on a long weekend and Rachel came 3 days in a row to watch our cats. Here's what I loved: An app notification when they arrived The ability to chat with the sitter separately from the admin team A very detailed report of the visit Tons of pictures - not just of the cats but of their water bowls, food bows, and litter box Rachel went above and beyond by bringing some packages up to our apartment - we live in a 4th floor walk-up so that was totally appreciated I have pretty bad anxiety so travel has always been tough because I worry about everything going wrong while I'm gone but that is all out the window because now we've found Chicago Pet Sitters. Not sure how we've survived without them before. A+. 5 stars. 100% recommend.

    We have been clients of Chicago Pet Sitters for 3 years now. We moved to a new home recently and…read moretransitioned to a new dog walker for our Corgi Leia. We have always had amazing dog walkers and I have written multiple positive reviews. Kellyn, Leia's current walker, is so amazing too ! I can't say enough wonderful things about her. She does not just take Leia on daily walks, she takes her on adventures!Whether it's to the fire station, to visit other doggie friends, or to make a new friend who happens to be walking by, Leia is in such good hands with Kellyn. Our son even calls her Leia's best friend! Kellyn even filled in and checked in on our 13 yo cat Archie while we were on vacation recently! She does it all!! Many thank to Kellyn and the Chicago Pet Sitters Team for taking such good care of our girl, Leia and kitty, Archie.
