Pam and her husband always take great care of my little Maltese mix. My dog was rescued from a…read moreshelter and was abused before animal control rescued him, which is why he doesn't easily trust people. He is also typically afraid of other dogs. By the time I came to pick him up from an over night stay at Pam's Pet Sitting, he was jumping in Pam's husband's lap and chasing the other dogs around the yard! I can always rest at ease whenever my dog is at Pam's. She also walks the dogs daily and makes sure they get plenty of exercise.

I got a new job and was in need of a dog walker. I heard about Pam so I thought I'd contact her…read moreabout my dogs. I met her and she seemed nice and all went well...that is until she presented me with a contract to sign. I know most dog daycare facilities have some sort of agreement to protect them from liability and I get that. However, when I wanted something added into the agreement stating that only Pam would give my dog medicine and that I didn't want her walked due to my dog's old age but she flat out refused. I wasn't sure why because it's not a big deal and I was ready to sign it and move on. If anything it provides security for me as a pet parent and also for her too. She just said she's take care of it and not to worry about it. Yeahhhh, sorry but that's not good enough for me. This should have been a red flag right there. I tried to ignore this but I couldn't get past that weird encounter so I had to take a hard pass on using her services. Eventually I was able to find another dog sitter for Molly who had no problem supporting my care plan for her. I hold no ill will towards her but because of my experience I can't recommend using Pam's dog daycare.

Carol came highly recommended to me as a dog walker and has not disappointed. She has been walking…read moremy older golden retriever for about a year now and truly goes above and beyond with her service. She is a very kind and empathetic person, trustworthy, always willing to help out in a pinch and extremely flexible with scheduling last minute walks. She is also always on time and provides an update on my dog along with a picture. Examples of her going above and beyond include stopping by last minute to help me take my dog outside while he was suffering from vertigo and couldn't get up, dropping off a spare set of my keys when I misplaced them over the weekend and giving my dog medication after his walk. I am very thankful to have found Carol and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and dependable dog walker/pet sitter and overall great person to care for your dog.

Emmie is an anxious dog, and Carol and her team are super patient and consistent with Emmie. Carol sends us an update of Emmie's walking activities with a picture every day that she is walked. Scheduling is super easy - we text with Carol at the end of week to schedule the next week's walks. We recently moved a little further west and we're thrilled that we are still in the area served by Wrigleyville Pet Care Services - I hope to work with Carol for many years to come.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!…read more EJ runs a first class business. I used her for my first time for a 3 week international trip. I was a bit neurotic and asked that she e-mail me every other day so I could relax while on my dream vacation which she did. My babies and vacation were both perfect and I've since used the services of Smooth Pooch four more times. I am so delighted and relieved to find someone who cares for my kitties as much as I do when I'm out of town. EJ is 100% reliable and has a beautiful way in which she interacts with animals. I highly recommend Smooth Pooch!

I will definitely continue to count on her services.

I was really hesitant to do so because he had been battered and mistreated in his prior life and is really untrusting but he really connected with me. So I was hesitant to leave him with a stranger. But rescue sitters were so helpful and he warmed up to Bonnie right away. She was so sweet with him and was always flexible to give Oscar what he needed. She was also very responsive and took the best pictures I have of him. The whole team was amazing and I know Oscar's made a friend for life

Aimee recently took care of my rescue, and her service was excellent!…read more I recently adopted a small dog who I am absolutely in love with. I only had him for a short piece of time and had necessarily built up a network for him yet, so when my boss sent me on a week long business trip I was freaking out because I hadn't necessarily secured a dog walker or boarding services. I reached out to several places and none of them were able to take my dog on short notice. I did have a conversation with another service that actually excepted my job but last minute totally flaked less than 24 hours before I was due to board my plane!!! I called Aimee in a full on panic! I let her know what was going on and she immediately came over to my house to assess the situation and feasibility of my job. She had several other things going on but due to my circumstance she took my job and executed it flawlessly! My dog was boarded at my home but she came by twice a day to clean his enclosure and take him for walks. She did so as contracted. I have a camera in my basement so I was able to see every time she came over in the exchange and she treated my dog so wonderful!!!! That meant a lot to me. Amy not only save me from a potential disaster but she also gave me the assurance that my pet was taken care of with love. Miss Aimee is now a part of my for babies CareNetwork and I'm so happy for that.

Erin is a truly special dog walker…read more Her passion for and comfort with animals is immediately apparent. She gets to know the quirks of each pet she works with, and really personalizes the whole experience. Perhaps the greatest testament of all is that my little dog gets wiggly and excited whenever we happen to run into her on the street; the tempo of his tail relays the love and trust that she earns from canines all over the neighborhood.

How is it that I haven't written a review yet?…read more I love Erin! She's the best. I've hired her on three or four occasions to watch my two cats. She's great and the cats seem to love her. She's helped me out in a pinch with other things too, like keeping an eye on my car when I'm gone and getting the mail. She's super attentive and professional. Thanks Erin!

We have used Wags-A-Lot Pet Services for years now, and we are so thankful to Julie and her team…read morefor taking care of our dog Clarkson with an unparalleled level of professionalism, dependability, and most importantly, love. Clarkson's breed is notoriously standoffish. He doesn't love a ton of people. But boy does he love Julie. He also doesn't love puddles. Thunderstorms. Other dogs. Salty sidewalks. And seriously, most people. But boy does he love Julie. He loves Julie because she knows all this about him. She treats our dog like we treat our dog; she loves our dog. You just don't get that from everyone. It's special, and we are grateful for it. From an administrative standpoint, the scheduling, payment, and open communication that we have always experienced make it so that we barely have to think about Clarkson's daily mid-day walks. From an emotional standpoint, it seems like Clarkson may love Julie and her team more than he love us. We're learning to accept it ;) Thank you Julie and everyone at Wags-A-Lot Pet Services. We could not be happier with everything that you do for us!

I have never enlisted a dog sitter with my previous pup so I was a little nervous. Sadie was caring at the initial "meet & greet" 2 weeks prior and texted me pics and videos over the 48-hour stay. My pup was very well cared for and she made sure I was updated. She even took out the trash and laundered the sheets & towels before leaving which was completely unexpected. Needless to say, I am so thankful for the professionalism, reliability, and communication and I've recommended them to other neighbors.
