Elizabeth is truly a great small business owner who puts all of herself into what she does. The dog cuts are high quality and well-priced and my dog always has a wonderful time at doggie daycare. My dog is a cavalier King Charles spaniel and has some high-maintenance hair. Eli does most of our cuts and we are always amazed by the incredible job he does. Our pup is always looking extra cute and thoroughly groomed when we get him back. Our dog also has a great time at day care. We don't take him often, but every time we have, he's always come out happy, tired, and more confident with other dogs. If you're looking for a professional environment with excellent service, look no further.

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!!

I was over 6 months pregnant at the time I begged to take them in (for 8 days), and days later, I realized the Samoyed and Corgi were a lot more work than I thought manageable. If I were on a Zoom meeting, the pair would have me cut it short. If I stepped out to grab groceries for dinner, they'd scratch my doors and cry for the entirety of my absence (according to my neighbor down the hall). Worst of all, the Samoyed sheds... A LOT. I like an ultra tidy home. A few days in, I called my friend (dog owner) to let her know they were much more than I was willing to deal with. She understood, and informed me her dogs get dropped off at VIP's Pet Hotels on a monthly basis when she's tending to her economic research. She was ready to pick them up and drop them off at this hotel. Instead, I called the hotel, and got a hold of Danielle who was so gracious to wait for my arrival that same evening for a drop-off. I was easily able to drive them over, drop them off, and have them well taken care of for a few more days. Due to COVID: They request that you do NOT bring soft toys from home, dog beds/blankets, or dog bowls; instead, simply pack the dogs' food and treats and they'll be ready to tend to the dogs upon arrival. Timo and Paul were so excited to see Danielle. THANK YOU VIP's Pet Hotel!

CALLING ALL NEW DOG OWNERS: RUN, DONT WALK, TO VIP! A…read moreneighbor in our building highly recommended VIP and before we knew it, our pup become a regular! I unsuccessfully searched all over the city for competitive daycare that wouldn't break the bank. VIP is by unequivocally the most affordable and accommodating. I LOVE how easy it is to communicate with them via text instead of missing another email or voicemail throughout the workday. Golden doodles are known for their separation anxiety, but you know they're in good hands when your dog is excited to go! Winston waits at the door for day care pick up and excitedly sprints when we drop him off overnight. * DAYCARE - They pick up our dog and drop him off even when we're not home. They also pick up other dogs in our apartment complex so if we have a last minute change of plans it's no problem for them to scoop up our little Winnie. Throughout the day they'll send you videos of your dog playing. * TRAINING - Matt made us feel reassured during our consultation and reiterates that they don't accept clients who are not committed to maintaining training. We opted for the board and train, but they offer classes as well. * BOARDING - it's a huge facility, so we never have issues with drop in boarding. The only thing that is a little tricky to get used to is the drop off and pick up windows - there's only 3 a day, but if you're close enough they're flexible.

I think this is a good kennel and my dog enjoyed it, but we can't go back now because they require…read moremore vaccinations than our veterinarian recommends. How can that be? They want an influenza vaccination, but my dog gets sick with her vaccinations and that one is not required by anyone else. I'm not going to risk her getting sick. I also couldn't take her to this kennel when she was less than a year old, because they required her to be spayed before the doctor recommended it. The doctor wanted her to wait until she had her first cycle, but this location required it even before that. I appreciate that they care about the health of the dogs, but I don't know how they can require things that go against the veterinarians recommendation. Very disappointing- we would like to be regular clients.

I wanted to switch up my dogs routine, so I decided to enroll her for day care. I didn't know what…read moreto expect and her interview day went really well! So I took her back for a second time, full day. When I went back the 2nd day, the facility smelled putrid. I understand it's an animal facility so it's not going to smell like roses and daisies but it was pretty bad even with a mask on, so ventilation is a concern at this point. My dog came back smelling atrocious. Again, dog facility, she's playing all day, she's gonna get a little stinky. She smelled like she was sitting in a dirty kennel for days, she was only there a few hours. As soon as we got home she went straight into the bath, her smell was offensive AF. Lastly, my baby unfortunately is now sick. Took her on Thursday by Saturday she was showing symptoms :-/ She is vaccinated for Bordetella and Flu, but she still got sick, her lungs sound awful. My dog is super healthy so for her to get sick after her 2nd day, it sucks and scary for me to even board her or bring her back. It's always a risk your dog will get sick just like kids at regular daycare. Would better sanitation/ventilation help? I dunno, maybe? What do I know lol Unfortunately, we won't be coming back Unfortunately, I think anyone that is looking for care for their pup... it's tough and scary to try new places. I think private care is probably the best route tbh after this experience. Take a chance but be aware of what to expect. The other review similar to mine are insanely consistent :-/ Update: I haven't had a chance to update. My dog unfortunately also ended up with skin bacteria resulting in a gross rash on her under belly/side. Fortunately, after some care and creams she healed up fine. Needless to say, not a great experience :-/

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!

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.
