I would recommend her to anyone looking for high quality pet care including walks, boarding and grooming. She's the best!

Our schedule is very irregular, so while we try to give her as much notice as possible, she's been a life saver even on very short notice. When our Dog was sick she went above and beyond to check on him and make sure he had what he needed, far more than she was obligated to do. If you live in the area, Kristin is someone you can trust.

There's a reason Active usually has a waitlist... simply put, it's incredible. It's hard to find…read morelocally owned businesses where the entire staff has as strong of a passion for what they do as the owner, but Active is that type of place. Alex cultivates a culture where people actually get excited to come to work every day. Our dog Lincoln has been getting picked up from Active for 3 1/2 years (since he was a little pup) and there's not been a day where we doesn't wait at the front door excited to see who is picking him up. He's learned vital social skills and always feels at home. This is also the only place we feel comfortable boarding him, as they make him feel safe. If he wants to go in the crate, awesome - it's there for him. If he wants to stay up and stretch the legs with friends, that's cool too. My only advice is, if you're lucky enough to send your fur-babe here, parting ways will be the hardest thing emotionally (both on you and your pup) because this place will quickly become an extended family for you both. Please bring Active to every city, specifically Denver, because every pup deserves a second home as passionate and warm as this place.

I have been using Hyde Park Bark as a cat sitting service for more than two years while traveling…read moreout of town. After four scheduled cat sitting services (for 1-2 weeks at a time), I have been thoroughly pleased with ALL of their employees, the high level of communication, the friendliness and the reliability! I am so grateful that they are in Hyde Park and a local business. A few things I've noticed: 1) I get updates with photos and a narrative for every visit. I usually schedule 2 visits every day that I'm gone. 2) No matter which employee visits, I understand from the narrative report that they have read the instructions, and the comments that I've left. For example, this summer, the temperature reached 100 degrees outside, but I had forgotten to turn on the A/C. After leaving a comment to ask that it be put on energy save an set to 72, the next sitter did just that, and sent me photos to verify the settings. This put me completely at ease while being away during a dangerous heatwave. 3) My cats need medication and a special feeding schedule; my instructions are followed and this also helps me feel at ease that the kitties are fine for extended absences. 4) If I need to extend my trip, the online scheduling system is easy to update and I know that I won't have to scramble to find an alternative. The onboarding process if you are a new client is not something that can be done at the last minute; I signed up before I knew I would have a trip planned, but then once the consult was done, it has been completely a breeze to sign up for vacation house sitting appointments. I have been and continue to be very pleased with the services, care, and convenience of Hyde Park Bark!

I love Smart Paws :')…read more After working from home for two years and never leaving my dog's side, I started a new job requiring me to come into the office 3 days per week. My Boston is beyond attached and has epilepsy requiring a strict medicine regimen throughout the day. Between my anxiety of leaving him for hours without monitoring for his seizures and the anxiety I assume he must have felt with this sudden transition, Smart Paws has truly saved the day. I had tried Dog Camps in Chicago previously, but the absurd prices for rooms far too overfilled with dogs was something I was desperately trying to avoid. Smart Paws is amazing - they are so easy to schedule with on the fly, and the pictures and status updates from the walkers (specifically Abby if she ever reads this!!) each time they visit truly make my day. They administer Figg's medicine, take him on different walks each time allowing him to adventure, and always play with him and fill his water bowl after the walk. This is by far the fairest pricing for dog walking I've found in the city, and the walkers are top notch. I can go to work without a doubt in my mind that Figg is getting the best care despite the new "alone time" in his routine. Thank you Smart Paws!!!!

I don't know about other people's schedule, but i try to set mine up every time with the the can arrive an hour before or after your appointment, really makes scheduling a headache.

Please in 2020 work on fixing this issue as i'm sure i'm not the only client who has this headache scheduling with you guys.
