The entire process from the familiarization virtual meet through the daily communications on each walk was easy and comforting. Lindsay really took the time to get to know me, the dogs' routines and preferences, my preferences, and everything in between. Jessica was our walker most visits and very clearly took excellent care of Beatrice and Violet. I looked forward to the daily updates that were not only thorough but thoughtfully wonderful each time. She was so considerate of being in our home which you'd never know anyone had even been in if she hadn't left the detailed notes about after visiting. She even brought in packages several times! The girls clearly loved their time with Out U Go and they'll be my go-to for all future needs.

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 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.

(we were lucky enough to get nearly a month of puppy leave.) It was hard finding someone we felt we could trust, but Jack and his crew came highly recommended from my best friend. And sure enough, as soon as I met Jack I knew he was the one for us. We work in social media so we have weird hours and our schedules change day to day. Jack is always flexible and incredibly accommodating. We literally couldn't raise Theo without him and his team. A BIG plus for us is that Jack and co. only take one dog out at a time, so I know that Theo is safe and getting one on one attention. I know "wag" is a thing, but I see those walkers with 4 dogs at a time and I shudder. What if one dog turns on the other? Also, we love that a quick text and picture is standard and included in the incredibly reasonable pricing. Spencer seems to be the walker who takes Theo out the most, and his pictures are always amazing. We cannot thank this crew enough for taking care of our little guy. It's such a relief knowing we have them in our lives.

Four years ago, Miranda killed my dog. It was not intentional but it was negligent. I avoided…read morewriting a review because I didn't want to write it from a place of anger but four years later I think about this everyday and I will never get over it. I feel that it's unfair to not share my experience with others so they can make their own choices. I had 2 dogs and one was a very selective dog, meaning he didn't get along with all dogs he met. Miranda was referred to us by a friend whose dog had similar issues. When we met Miranda to see her facility, I asked her if she would be cresting the dogs when she left the building. (I asked this for a reason) she told me that if they were not crated at home, she would not crate them and they could just stay in her living space. It turns out that Miranda was crating my dogs together when she left them and that is ultimately what led to my dogs death. My selective dog could not be crated with any other dogs. If he was and anything triggered him, he would redirect onto another dog in his crate, even his brother and they would fight. This happened so Miranda came home and found that my dogs had a fight in their crate. She took the selective dog, Carson out to bathe him and ultimately left him unattended in the sink, tethered to the wall. He then tried to jump out of the sink and you can imagine the rest. We left for the weekend with 2 dogs and came back having only one.

Marcellus is his normal self no nicks on his little chunky body at all and he looks great! Reasonable prices I'd say especially when you know your cat is capable of biting. The wait wasn't long at all we dropped off went to do some errands and when we got a call about two hours later to pick up which was perfect timing.
