First and foremost, my dog loves going here: he knows where he's going as soon as he sees his name tag and collar outside of the drawer where it stays. He whines until he gets here and doesn't want to leave when I pick him up. That pretty much says it all. He gets a ton of exercise. The staff is great: they know my dog by name. They accommodate my requests for boarding on long trips and holidays. They made special arrangements for my dog when he was in a cone following a procedure. They actually treat my dog like family, as hokey as that sounds. He's treated well, and it's a load off my mind when he's here. I'd recommend Chi Town Dog House in a heartbeat: they're trustworthy professionals.

They've done an exceptional job with our Sammy. The staff is not only highly skilled but also genuinely caring, ensuring our dog's well-being and progress every step of the way. Sammy can be very stubborn, and all the staff have been very patient and understanding of Sammy's behavior - knowing how to make adjustments with/in training - something other facilities/trainers lack. Sammy is much more at ease, obedient, and going on walks beautifully (he is also in better shape)! Their philosophy is one that every facility/trainer should uphold. Highly recommend!!! *Thank you, Bow Wow Behavioral!

We're so grateful to have found Jerry! He watched our two dogs for a week right after our move to…read moreChicago, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

He was responsive from the beginning and cared to ask many questions about my dog, Ziggy, in order to get to know him. I left Ziggy with Jerry for almost 3 weeks and I had peace of mind that Ziggy was being cared for in the best way. In fact, I think Ziggy was a bit sad to be picked up after his time with Jerry. Would highly recommend Jerry's services and will use him again in the future.

We wanted Winnie to have her trial day this week since we're planning to board her this weekend while we're out of town. We met both Jennifer and Jake (the owners) and they couldn't have been more friendly and helpful! I called on Monday to schedule our trial day and Jennifer emailed me the paperwork right away. I was thrilled we were able to get Winnie in the next day! Some things that stood out to me: they have someone stay overnight at the facility with the dogs when you board them. This makes me feel more comfortable leaving Winnie with them! They also ask that you bring 1. Extra food and 2. Something that smells like home to make your dog more comfortable (only when boarding). That way if an emergency arises and they end up needing to keep your pup longer, it's no problem! Even the part timers were great with Winnie and seemed to genuinely love dogs. We were worried about leaving her for the trial day, but the guy who was there when we picked her up said she did great, which we were happy about. After her trial day I feel more comfortable leaving Winnie in their capable hands. Thank you for making this dog mom feel more at ease about leaving her fur baby!

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.
