NP is already booked for my next 2 trips coming (and more to come)! Reliable, flexible, top service quality, professional, nice meet and greet, affordable, nice interaction with Kim the owner (thanks for all super quick answers). A big thanks to Andres for your service while traveling, w/ daily text, clear and concise. I highly recommend Northside Pets!" Well a year later, my review remains the same. I am a very happy customer :)

We have since moved to Evanston and still have not found a dogsitter better than Donia. She was sweet and caring towards our little Maxi and always wrote detailed notes regarding their walks together. It truly broke my heart that we moved just too far away past Donia's work radius. Anyone who uses North Side Pets would be so lucky to have them as dog walkers! Sending the North Side Pet's team a giant thank you and best wishes!

I took my King Charles Cavalier to Paws and Claws for bath and a little trim near her butt. She…read morewas groomed by the OWNER. Not the first time I had been here. She trummed the hair on her back I don't know why. Three days later my dog was jumping on sofa , gave her a little push and she cried. (She had been licking her butt ever since her grooming). She would not let me look. My vet had no appointment so took her to immediate care. Vet told me she had her butt cut, it had dried blood and was raw and red. She had to get cleaned up got a cone and meds And had to return following week. Cost over $200 and my dog in pain. Owner is dishonest and never told me she cut my dog. Don't take your dog here you don't know what can happen to your dog. I could only post by giving a star but this groomer does not deserve any stars.

Eventually our newcomer, Blondie will be a client too. She's still little and kind of lets me clip her claws. Alicia and Rosa are fantastic and we won't go elsewhere.

I recommend Kari without reservation. I had real concerns about using a pet service because my cat,…read moreSol, can barely suffer strangers when I bring them into our home as guests - she remains under the bed terrified until they leave - so I worried that having a stranger entering twice a day for several days would be upsetting to her. Kari came over to meet me and Sol before I hired her, and I had an immediate sense of her expertise in animal care, her deep love of animals, and her holistic approach to caring for them. I knew without a doubt that she was not just going to come in to feed and water Sol, but would actually get to know her. Imagine my relief and gratitude when Kari sent pictures, daily, of Sol at first peeking out from behind the bed, then Sol sitting across the room "visiting" with Kari, then Sol sleeping on the back of the couch behind Kari's head - her preferred spot when I'm at home! I could almost hear her purring. Kari invested her time very generously in cultivating a bond with Sol, and it turns out with me too, because she made allaying my anxiety a priority. I got back to my hotel at 8:00 one night and texted Kari "Can I call?" and within seconds she was on the phone updating me. She goes way above and beyond just tending to creature needs, she brings a lot of love to the job. Kari is a real professional. She has given me good advice about Sol's care and comfort from day one, that I value and take. She sends updates and photos during her visits, observes the agreed upon schedule, and is completely dependable and trustworthy. If you love your pet and want her to be in the best possible hands, you won't do better than Kari.

Kari wanted to keep my dog at her unsanitary house. We said no. She would feed my dog on her walks what she wanted her to eat. After the walks my dog would poop all over the house 30 minutes after dropping her off. She would text my daughter and claim she over heard me on the phone talking about her. This became too much. She constantly talk about her customers and how they lived that's why I stop communicating with her. I do not trust her.
