There are so many dog walking services out there but trust me you will never ever find a service…read morelike this one. Virginia is like a dog whisperer with the reliability of business owner. My dog has some challenges on walks but never with her. Our dog is very skittish of new people but licked her face the minute they met. She doesn't just say she loves animals she lives that life. Rescuing dogs and cats and helping them and finding homes. Often she will answer the phone at night and she will be at someone's home where she is just suppose to make a visit while they are out of town but stays for so much longer cause she wants them to have more attentions. You can completely count on her to be there everyday on time. She has never been late or called to say she can't make it. Snow storms Will not even keep her away and when the weather is horrible she figures out a way to get them some fun. We couldn't live without doggie dharma!! Call now if you love your dog.

We have been using Northbrook Pet Nannies for over a year and Melissa provides excellent services…read morein our home. We have a Bernese Mountain Dog and a French Bulldog - who are obviously very different in terms of both personality and their needs. This past 8 nights, one of her employees Jim stayed overnight in our home with the dogs. He texted me to let me know how things were going regularly and he seemed to genuinely love spending time with the dogs. Our Berner can be stubborn so I typically tell the dog sitters not to walk her, but Jim took both of them on walks daily in order to keep them out of the messy yard. We returned home to 2 calm dogs, without any issues! We joked that the house looks cleaner than when we left - he definitely took care of cleaning up after the messy dogs (which I don't usually expect!) Melissa is great in responding for last minute visits if we are out unexpectedly and now we feel that when it's time for vacation, we can go again without worrying about the dogs!

At first meeting, you'll be struck by their warmth, kindness, and re-assurance. We were afraid to leave our new doggie when we went out of town, but they called us with updates and provided her with the best care. After trying a few different kennels, we are most happy and confident with Northbrook Pet Nannies. Give them a try, you'll be thrilled (and your pet will be too!)

I searched and searched for a dog walking company on Thumbtack and on Yelp and finally came across…read moreone that served the Northbrook area. HAPC responded right away on Yelp, took my information, made a home visit, and we were on our way! Vanessa the owner was a dream. She met my moms dog Louie and started walking him and I would get daily status emails and pics of Louie when they were out and about. What I also love about HAPC is that I didn't have to go through so many hoops and applications like some other companies who ask for way too much info, like your dogs blood type and your blood type etc. I kid, but really, HAPC makes the process go a lot easier than what's out there. If you need a reasonably priced, reliable, and trustworthy dog walking company, I would not hesitate to contact Home Alone Pet Care. I thank you Vanessa, you're a life saver!

I love Prairie Path Pet Care and use them for occasional walks and care when we are out of town…read more They set up an initial meeting to meet with us and get to know Ronny and finalize details etc..., which I loved getting to know who we were working with. They are very professional and carrying. The office (Michelle) is super responsive, easy to deal with. Our walker (Ruben) is the BEST. He is always on time, leaves really great detailed notes along with cute pictures after each walk. :) I cannot say enough good things about them. Highly recommend them.

Tailchasers is great…read more Matt came over to the house to help us decide on chosing him for watching our dogs. That alone is a big decision when you think of your dogs as family. He stayed for about an hour answering all of our questions and going through our routine with us. He and his company are very thorough and good at what they do. I felt I could trust him and his staff to come into our house without us being home. When they are done with the visit you get an email with all of the notes from the visit and sometimes you get pictures as well of the dogs playing. This allowed us to go out late on a weekend night. We plan on using them in the future.

When arrived they wanted to use ropes to lift him with due to so badly soiled. So we supplied our own blanket and carried him to car. He was in obvious pain, soiled, bleeding from mouth. He was immediately taken to animal hospital and advised had to be put down for fractured back and kidney issues. When asked for an explanation Randa immediately sent a refund saying upon my request, which was just for explanation. When followed up was told I can't sue because I signed a waiver, that it was my fault for boarding an older dog and not boarded before. I never made any accusations or asked for anything but an explanation. I'm so devastated I left my pet/family member in their care.

I can't say enough about Adam and Barkwalk. Our previous dog walker decided to stop providing…read moreservice to our area and we needed to quickly find a replacement. Adam and Cary came out promptly and from the first phone call were incredibly professional and accommodating. We have an older dog and she immediately felt comfortable with Adam. I really appreciated his flexibility as sometimes our schedules would change at the last minute (or I would forget to notify him the evening before that a walk wouldn't be needed the following day). Adam was always gracious and accommodating. I also really appreciated how responsive he was to texts and emails. He was also wonderful about coordinating walks around showings when we were in the process of selling our home. We recently left Highland Park and I know that our dog is going to miss Adam terribly.

I boarded my dog at North Shore K-9 from September 25-29. When I picked him up, he had a severe eye…read moreinjury that required immediate emergency referral to a veterinary ophthalmologist and ultimately resulted in the loss of his eye. I was not contacted during his stay about any concern with his condition. After pickup, we rushed him directly to the veterinarian. I've included a photo taken of what his eye looks like at time of pick up, showing the condition of his eye at that time and removal of eye due to damage. What was most upsetting was the lack of communication during his stay and the way the situation was handled afterward. Despite providing extensive veterinary documentation and attempting to resolve the matter directly, the facility declined to offer even a refund of the boarding fees and eventually stopped responding. This experience was emotionally devastating for both me and my dog. Based on this experience, I would not boarding here.
