Complete professionalism, reliability, & consistency are some of the luxuries you will come to know when working with these guys. It's hard to say who will enjoy working with them more, you or your pets (seriously.) But one thing's for sure, it will be incredibly difficult going back to anything else. Speaking from experience and relocating away from Chicago, we will miss working with Adam/WW and our new pet sitting service has big shoes to fill.

Your pet will be in competent, caring hands with these guys.

It's been a few weeks since my husband and I moved to Michigan from Chicago and we still talk about…read morehow much we miss Earth Pups. Our pug, Egg Roll, probably still misses it too. She LOVED it there. Sure, we've found a new place, but it's not the same. To start, EP spoils you because they make everything so easy. Ridiculously friendly staff, super clean facility, no add-on's, surcharges, glitchy online scheduling, etc. Often we'd call the morning of and they'd be happy to accommodate our pug. EP would also feed Egg Roll dinner (we brought in our own food) which I didn't realize was out of the ordinary until moving here. My husband and I boarded numerous times also, including once for nine days when she was just 7 or so months old. They took perfect care of her. EP lets you bring your pet's bed, toys, food, treats, medicine, you name it, in order to make your pet as comfortable as possible. Again, not the norm at the places we've encountered here in Michigan. That's what I mean by spoiled! One place here quoted us $4 per "break" - I.e., a charge for a rest period separate from the play group. Our pug doesn't moderate when it comes to play, so breaks are important to ensure she doesn't get overheated or overtired. A few times we tried out other doggie daycare places in Chicago given that EP could be as much as 35+ minutes out of the way for my husband due to traffic in the morning, but we could never find a place that provided the same level of care and peace of mind as Earth Pups so we always came back. Earth Pups will always be the gold standard for us. We will always appreciate all of the ways in which they went above and beyond for our pug. If I could give more than five stars, I would. Go here. You will not regret it.

No one loves or cares for dogs as much as Valarie. As everyone knows, pets are family. After doing…read moreour research, when we had to go out of town, we chose to leave our two dogs, Bella and VonHellsing with Valarie. She has shown nothing but compassion and kindness to our dogs and to us! If a dog gets sick on her watch, she immediately takes them to the vet and communicates with you. Recently, Bella got cancer and I leaned on Valarie to help me handle this very sad situation! The dogs get more exercise at Valarie's than with us. When they come home, they sleep most of the first day. I have always felt confident that my dogs were in good, capable hands when they were with Valarie!

Valerie is a delight to work with. While it seems a tiny bit pricey (I pay $18 per visit with my…read moretwo cats--pretty standard in this area), it's not when you consider what you're getting. She is considerate and caring, and I feel 100% comfortable leaving my kitties with her (as much as I hate leaving them!). The best part is Valerie doesn't bat an eyelash at whatever preposterous instructions you leave with her. One of my cats is a finicky eater, so I have a comical song-and-dance routine that I have to go through every morning to get both boys fed before I leave. I left instructions after explaining over the phone, and she was happy to do it! I know if I had a friend try to do it, I couldn't trust them to give that level of care, and I'd feel weird even asking. Long story short, if you want the best care, I'd trust Valerie. As with many things, I'm sure you could find cheaper somewhere (Craigslist), but you'll get what you pay for.
