    Watson living his best life at fit dog!
    Valerie B.

    Let me first preface this review by saying that I'm super picky about anything involving my beloved puppy, Watson. I think that in general, pet owners are some of the toughest crowds to please, and I am certainly no exception to that. Fit Dog is amazing. The gold standard in doggy daycare. There are three things I care about, and Fit Dog completely delivers on all three: 1) Safety. My goldendoodle loves to wrestle and play with other puppies, but not every dog loves his high energy. Regardless of that, he's never come home with any injuries, scratches, bite marks, etc. Nor has he ever picked up a stomach bug or parasite, meaning they keep a clean shop. 2) Reliable transportation. Gallo, one of the drivers and staff members, picked up and dropped off within a 5-minute window every single day, like clockwork. 3) Maximum fun for my pup. I love seeing the social media posts of him having a great time. After a day at fit dog, he is always tired and happy. On hot summer days, he came back a little damp (which I was more than okay with, because it meant they were ensuring the dogs were staying cool in the heat). I can't recommend Saul and Emily enough. I am super sad that Fit Dog no longer services the area that we live in (South Loop) but hope that will change someday!

    My dog Romeo has been doing to Fit Dog over 2 years now. Tomorrow is his last day because we're moving to Beverly. I'm so sad for Romeo as he LOVES going to Fit Dog on Mondays & Fridays. Jon picks him up & drops him off, lovingly refers to him as "Rome Dome" and seems just as excited to see him today as he did when he first started transporting Romeo. Emily & Saul & the rest of the Fit Dog staff are amazing, they really do treat the pups as if they're their own. Emily is incredibly responsive via email when I've asked to make changes in Romeo's schedule. Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about this family owned business. I recommend them to any dog owner I come across. I WISH I was able to continue sending Romeo there, but will definitely use them for boarding in the future as needed. 5 starts isn't enough! TOP NOTCH!

    Ya know when you can just feel the sincerity of a place? Or when you can sense that a human is just an all-around good, sincere human? Well, let me tell you that the owners and staff at Fit Dog are just that type. I have been on the lookout for a wholesome and caring dog daycare for my Australian Shepherd, Mila, for quite some time. I wanted a place that was worth every penny that I would be putting down on her care. I am employed at a school - Hence I don't have a lot of wiggle room in the financial department! For folks like me, it's a big and thoughtful decision to pay for this kind of care for their dog, but I can wholeheartedly say that Fit Dog has exceeded my expectations and it's worth the investment. Fit Dog is a family run business and you can feel that in the way it is run. Saul, the owner, came to my home for a meet and greet where he personally met Mila and I to ensure that it would be a good fit for everyone. He was warm and authentic and we had a great conversation. When I took Mila to her first day, they make you and your dog feel welcome and like you are joining their big family! They post pictures on Instagram of the dogs playing and they celebrate your dog's bday (dog moms LOVE THIS KIND OF THING HAHA). And what put the cherry on top for me was running into Emily, the other owner, today while I was picking Mila up. She addressed me by name and a warm smile and she had not even met me yet. She just knew I was Mila's human. I could go on, but seriously, if you're looking for a warm, caring and hard-working group of individuals to care for your dog, you will not be disappointed with Fit Dog. Thanks Emily, Saul and the rest of the amazing team at Fit Dog for all you do!

    Saul, Emily, and the whole team at Fit Dog are like family and have been a real blessing for us and our lab mix, Tater Tot. Tater is a wonderfully behaved dog - in very large part due to having great experiences in the Fit Dog pack - he loves it! We also love it for the peace of mind while he's at Fit Dog and for the peace at home after most of his doggie energy is spent at the end of the day! :-)

    Happiest dog because of FitDog (and rather slim I'd say!!!)

    We couldn't say enough positive things about FitDog! We started sending our puppy there 4 years ago - and she absolutely loves it to this day! We have a Weimaraner who needs activity (lots of it!) and she always comes back completely exhausted from a fun day with "friends"! It's so heartwarming to see how excited she gets when she hears Jaime (our routes's driver) coming up the stairs to get her! She'll even go nuts when she sees a FitDog van driving in the neighborhood - clearly enjoys it thoroughly! As for the company, they are wonderful! Saul and Emily ('Em') are very reliable and always responsive when we have questions or rescheduling needs as life happens! Their program is SO convenient for working and busy families too - never have to worry about anything as they always get her on time and according to her schedule! They are even thoughtful when they drop her to make sure she's in the right spot at home and will accommodate requests for drop off. Not to mention climbing up our 2 stories of stairs! :) I should also add that they truly care about the dogs too - and have a ton of fun with them celebrating birthdays, getting baby pools out, and just getting them activity all day! We love FitDog!!!!

    Saul and Emily also watched Bach overnight when we went out of town -- we trusted them immensely with our baby.

I believe I was in contact with KIM who honestly made me feel like I was just chatting with a friend! She was so approachable, understanding, and really went into the details of what option would best support my tiny fur children. Fast forward 3 months and we just wrapped up our in-home training package with Maureen! I cannot stress how amazing the entire experience was. Maureen has truly changed our lives for the better. Where we started to where we are now is night and day better, especially for my more aggressive dog Luna! We went from no one being able to enter our apartment with the dogs out to now the dogs just hanging out when people are here! Maureen is patient with pets AND people. She is always positive and really explains the WHY of the behaviors and outcomes. She's always on time, super professional, and gave us practical tools that actually work to truly set our dogs up for success but also US up for success as "parents" Honestly, I am a little sad Maureen is so great at her job because we will miss her coming over! If you want a trainer who knows her stuff and makes the whole process feel doable, Maureen is your person!
