After extensive, Virgo research (which is basically a PhD dissertation in searching for a good enough place for my boo) I can't find a replacement for this daycare.

Fetch N Play was recommended to us by a neighbor who we met at the dog park. We have a 7 month old…read morepuppy with lots of energy to wrestle n play - a sweet doofus - looking for playmates. He sure found them at Fetch N Play. From the first day he started going he has been the happiest dog ever. From the minute Martin opens the door or rings the doorbell our Nico is wagging his tail and super excited to leave. He waits by the window waiting for the arrival of the van with all his riding buddies. He comes home four or five hours later, a very happy and tired pup ready for a nice long nap. Jose and Martin are two of the nicest people in the world. Loving the pups and always caring for them. After only a few weeks of going we needed our pup boarded, and Jose took him in for a long weekend. Nico came home as if nothing had changed. He was happy to be home, but could not wait until the next day to go back to puppy day care. Jose is very accommodating and flexible with scheduling and paying. Which brings me to the best part of all. Fetch N Play is the best kept secret in the city when it comes to doggie day care. It is incredibly reasonable and the best value for your money. A half day of playtime for what it costs to have a dog walker come for 1/2 hour - and they pick-up and drop-off to boot. Honestly, best thing that has happened to our pup and us.

He can be very shy with…read morenew people but loves being there with the extremely well- trained staff, I was very pleased with his temperament testing & the patience used in selecting a peer group for him. He spent a half day with comparably sized young dogs and had great fun. The facility is indeed spotless. There is no odor or mess to be seen. Safety is very important to the owner ( who has been my groomer for my late dog since 2008). Close supervision of the dogs is demonstrated. The staff love dogs. It is sincere . I commend them as I do the owner of Doggy Day Play. I am the most observant pet person so I watch everything. I highly recommend this business. There is Video View as the system so that pet owners can watch over their pets . I also want to say that as in any business there is a natural turnover of staff. Young people move on. They go to college. They leave the area. They experience difficulties that cause them to leave: tardiness etc. as well as pursuing other jobs. And I know the physical plant called Doggy Day Play. I drive a distance . I've used the toilet. I walk through the facility. I see no filth . I see no rat traps as alleged in a fake review. I'm sensitive to some fragrances so I provide my own dog wipes for my longer haired dog. He's never been bitten. He's never been harmed. I've never been cheated on a bill. He HAS gotten himself dirty . He's a dog not a professor! Nobody is stupid or rude to me . This is a local business! Why wouldn't a client go right to Jill the actual owner if they had an issue? Why try to ruin a good business ? It's a good place to safely allow your dog to play . I've never boarded there. But I'm never away from home. Support do not destroy small business. They matter very much in the communities!

It is with a very heavy heart that I post this review... I absolutely had high hopes for this place…read morebut I am enraged and incensed by the mistreatment and irresponsible, unprofessional , ignorant behavior by the staff here. I ENTRUSTED them with the care of my 1 yr old doodle. Who as any puppy parent knows, is the love of my life and a family member to myself and my husband. I watched in complete horror and agony as a staff member continually and repeatedly shoved my dog in the face, aggressively away from them as they lazily sat of the ground text messaging on the phone. Petting and inviting other dogs to play but making a point to push my dog in the face and body to get away from them. This person then stood up and shoved my dog away from them entirely... Caring for dogs is the very essence of your job! You can image my complete and utter heartbreak as I watched... but momma is crafty and cunning, because I was recording too.... ;-). My sweet boy is not socialized with other dogs well. He looks for comfort from ppl when around other dogs... It was the recommendation of his trainer that we put him in daycare at least once a week and this place came highly recommended. It is a shame, because up until this experience I would have given them glowing reviews. But due to the ignorant behavior of one unprofessional, uncaring, unknowing individual staffer, and the lack of concern from the other staffers for a hurting mom... I can say for a certainty that I wish I could review less than 1 star... I wish I could upload the video of the mistreatment of my baby in its entirety... All of the other puppy parents I've shown the footage to, were enraged! We will see how the Daycare will respond. So far, No apologies yet. I am however posting the pic of his head being shoved, and him being grabbed by the collar and pushed away. So sorry to have to share this, but it has to be known to other parents and dog lovers. Update: I spoke with the Manager Andrew, and I am impressed with the maturity and insightfulness of this young man. I appreciate him calling to have an objective conversation, apologizing and taking ownership and responsibility on the part of his staff. I hope to build the relationship with this daycare going forward because as I've mentioned, I had a great first impression and I hope to reestablish trust.

The owner of My Best Friend is very nice and all the groomers there are so detailed and also nice. My yorkies have gone to heaven but now i have this Maltese-chihuahua that's blind and even though i live in Los Angeles, whenever i travel to chicago to visit family, i bring my little blind dog to get groomed at My Best Friend because i trust them and because they do a very good job and listen to my requests. I always remind them she's blind to prevent any accidents and they are very cautious with her. Yesterday the groomer told me my little Eevee " is an angel, such a good dog." And yes, my dog loves being brushed and groomed because she used to be a homeless street dog before i adopted her and she appreciates the love and care ppl give her. Even though she's blind, she felt comfortable at My Best Friend and allowed them to groom her, which shows that they were gentle and loving towards her. The groomers are also very good at letting me know when she's done because i have to wait for her since i don't live in the area. But driving to Forest Park to get my baby groomed is so worth it. I have been taking my dogs, and my parents' dogs to My Best Friend since 2007 i believe. That's how i know who is the best for my fur-babies. Eevee before and after picture included. I requested a very short cut because it's almost June and getting hot. I also requested a nice trimmed face and extra short beard. Everyone, including Eevee, loves it.
