Not only are they extremely reliable, they are also very knowledgeable - a family of dog lovers who have decades of experience in animal care and training.

She gets to know each pet as an individual and develops a rapport with them - even the most temperamental of my pets love her!

Her being a licensed vet tech is an additional plus! I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!

My wife and I traveled to the Chicago area this past spring on a business trip. We were in the area…read morefor 3 weeks and did not want to leave our dogs (our canine kids) back in Arizona. We needed someone to take care of them in our rental property during the day while my wife and I were taking care of business. We found Diane at "Your Pet Concierges". We were very happy with the result. Diane took our dogs for a walk each day, fed them and spent play time with Molly (a Westie), Rusty (a Rhodesian Ridgeback), and Buford (English Mastif). We came home to very happy dogs. We love our dogs very much and Diane seemed to show the same kind of love to our animals as we do. We were very impressed! If we ever move back to Chicago or come in town again on business, we will certainly be giving Diane a call to look after our pups!!!!!!! Thanks Diane!

Leaving your dogs with someone else is never easy. They're not just pets--they're family. As dog…read moreparents, trusting someone with them takes a lot. That's why finding Judy has meant so much to us. From the moment we met Judy, we knew our dogs were in the best hands. The love, patience, and kindness she shows them is something you can't fake. She doesn't just "watch" your dogs--she truly cares for them and treats them like they're her own. Our dog Dant'e can be a lovable, goofy, sometimes stubborn boy, but Judy understands him and gives him the attention, care, and affection he needs. It's clear he feels comfortable and happy with her, and that means everything to us. Every time we come home, Dant'e is relaxed, happy, and clearly well loved. Seeing how excited he is to see Judy again tells us everything we need to know. The peace of mind Judy gives us while we're away is priceless. Knowing someone is there loving on our dog, making sure he's safe, comfortable, and cared for means the world to us. We are beyond grateful to have found someone so trustworthy, compassionate, and truly amazing with animals. If you're looking for someone who will love your dogs like family, Judy is the person you want. We wouldn't trust our fur baby with anyone else.

I've been using Simply Pets services for the last year or so and I am amazed at the level of…read moreservice they offer. They watch after our 3 cats when we are not in town and they never fail to give us daily updates on the services they provided, pictures of the cats and any concerns that have come up. Twice Simply Pets has really gone above and beyond for us - once when I had a family emergency and they did everything they could to fit us in last minute. More recently we were out of the country when our furnace gave out and Kelsie & Josie did everything from turning on our space heaters to finding alternate housing (in case the furnace couldn't be repaired soon). They kept us informed every step of the way and what's more important, did everything to keep our cats safe and comfortable. I feel very comfortable having the staff at Simply Pets watch our cats - from scheduling, to billing to the way they interact with pets, you simply can't ask for more.

Trails have been repaved in the last several years they're all black topped. I've been away for…read moreseveral years so that's why I'm stating this. There's also some marked interior trails that are gravel or limestone that seem to go closer to the river. I do not travel those, I would imagine that would produce a lot more bugs. Apparently I have desirable blood, if you're a bug. So, Im not looking to get bit up by insects, so I stay on the main paths. Still have multiple shelters, and plenty of parking at each shelter, & there's grills, there's picnic tables. The dog park is still at Black Road, & and appears to be utilized regularly. Sometimes I'll walk all the way down from Black Road and the trail goes downhill as you get closer to 52/Jefferson and if you continue on it, the path goes underneath 52 and dumps out right behind the bar called Crowd Around Me. Multiple bathrooms along the way, there's semi kept up. I wouldn't say they're super clean but it's an outdoor bathroom. I'll give them this much credit, they are cleaned often enough that they aren't disgusting, and there's usually paper in there. Nice place to walk/bike/E bike/run. Or even gather some folks and have a picnic. Its usually pretty quiet in there. Little more crowded on the weekend, but that's understandable. Worth traveling through. And like I say a good place for exercise.

Great place for you to bring dogs. Hammel Woods is one of the natural wonders around here. It has…read morelots of hiking and jogging trails. A lot of good ways to get some exercise. There's quite a lot of dog poop on the trails so watch. A lot of dog owners come here. It isn't strictly a dog park but it's very friendly for them. There's lots of features including drinking fountains and poop bags if there's any left, which often there aren't so it's advised to bring some bags with you. Also there's trash cans for these bags. The bad thing about this park is you need a permit. Grills are available for cooking. It also has a pavilion. The DuPage River is good for kayaking and wading.
