His kindness, enthusiasm, knowledge, humor, and love for my dogs is evident in every class. I hate driving more than most things in life and happily schlep half an hour each way to get to class. My dogs start whining and wiggling with excitement half a mile away and make a beeline for Jim as soon as we walk in the door, much to the dismay of his jealous dogs. If you can get a spot in one of Jim's classes, I highly recommend it.

For agility, the turf is one of the best in the area. As an instructor, Jim has helped me train my 1st agility dog (Tully who is on the right) since 2018. Tully has earned multiple championships & Jim has supported us from afar at many competitions. Now, he is helping me train our border collie (Kinja on left). Jim does a great job supporting & encouraging me even when I get frustrated during class. I recommend him & the facility.

I've never had such a delightful experience with a pet sitting service. The owner, Aldona, really…read moretook time to get to know my cats and truly cares for them as if they are her own. One of my guys has special needs. As a result I interviewed more than a dozen sitters; only one was willing to give meds three times a day and sub-cu fluids once a day. Aldona literally got me off a panic perch when I was desperately in need of help. She bills and schedules professionally and goes out of her way (often working many hours overtime) to accommodate her clients and has the expertise to deal with unusual circumstances. I absolutely trust her to be there for my cats when I cannot be.

We used this company to do a daily cat visit over a five day vacation. Our cat was to be fed and…read morewatered, administered a dissolvable tablet medication, and have her litter cleaned daily. Visits were supposed to be 20 minutes long, and we were assured that we'd receive regular updates. Cost: $21/day paid in advance. Pros: Eric, who arranged my service, was friendly and responsive. They agreed to come to East Glenview, although that is technically out of their service area (though I don't understand why, since it's basically next door to their other service areas). Services described were performed as far as I could tell, and our sitter Margo did come daily (which we verified through the arming/disarming of our alarm at the house). Our mail was also brought in, which was very nice. Cons: Margo did not stay for the 20 minute time allotment during her visits. I can tell this because I get record of when the alarm system is turned off (her arrival) and turned back on ( when she left). Although her tracking sheet she filled out by hand indicated she stayed for exactly 20 minutes per visit, I have record of visits as short as 13 minutes on more than one day. Am I being picky, you ask? Perhaps. But when you are paying $1 per minute and this is the only contact your cat gets for an extended period, I believe each minute counts. Furthermore, the fact that our sitter lied about her visit times on the tracking sheet simply leads me to assume that she could have lied about any other detail - did my cat get her medicine for real each day? Did this sitter brush her as she claimed to have done? I have to say I doubt it. Having used a good service in the city in the past (30 minute visits, daily texts including pics of our pet, all performed by someone who clearly enjoyed cats), I must say we won't hire this company again. I don't feel our sitter was interested in caring for the pet, nor would I feel I could trust the service after being short-changed this time around.

She doesn't leave dogs in cages and only has my dogs in her shop when grooming. She provides a safe and welcoming environment. Jennifer is awesome and gives your dog total personal attention.
