Claudia is the only pet sitter I have hired since the first time she looked after my fur babies…read morelast year. I have 3 cats, 2 of whom are older and require special food and daily medications. It often requires a lot of time and effort to get them to eat enough but Claudia manages it with no apparent trouble. She's the only pet sitter with whom my cats don't lose weight while I'm gone. Recently, my husband and I were away for nearly a month and Claudia took excellent care of my boys. One of them was having health issues and Claudia noticed a change in his behavior and immediately notified me so I could touch base with his vet about it. She ended up taking him to multiple vet appointments while we were gone and had to give him several different medications, even noticing a side effect of one of the medications. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

The front desk was absolutely amazing however the Doctor and her assistant were not the most pleasant at all. Even made be feel uncomfortable which I'm sure my dog picked up on. They lack empathy; there is a certain level of care I expect physicians in all fields to have and they simply do not have that. They seemed cold, timid and afraid of my dog. They was no trying to get to know her, talking kind (to my dog or I), etc. I believe in supporting Black physicians. All of mine are Black and I wanted the same for my dog however I still have not found one that WANTS and Loves their job. It's unfortunate but I will probably be going back to my South Loop Vet.

I have been using Hyde Park Bark as a cat sitting service for more than two years while traveling…read moreout of town. After four scheduled cat sitting services (for 1-2 weeks at a time), I have been thoroughly pleased with ALL of their employees, the high level of communication, the friendliness and the reliability! I am so grateful that they are in Hyde Park and a local business. A few things I've noticed: 1) I get updates with photos and a narrative for every visit. I usually schedule 2 visits every day that I'm gone. 2) No matter which employee visits, I understand from the narrative report that they have read the instructions, and the comments that I've left. For example, this summer, the temperature reached 100 degrees outside, but I had forgotten to turn on the A/C. After leaving a comment to ask that it be put on energy save an set to 72, the next sitter did just that, and sent me photos to verify the settings. This put me completely at ease while being away during a dangerous heatwave. 3) My cats need medication and a special feeding schedule; my instructions are followed and this also helps me feel at ease that the kitties are fine for extended absences. 4) If I need to extend my trip, the online scheduling system is easy to update and I know that I won't have to scramble to find an alternative. The onboarding process if you are a new client is not something that can be done at the last minute; I signed up before I knew I would have a trip planned, but then once the consult was done, it has been completely a breeze to sign up for vacation house sitting appointments. I have been and continue to be very pleased with the services, care, and convenience of Hyde Park Bark!
