I recently moved to the suburbs from the city and was desperately looking for a new walking…read moreservice. While Doggie Dharma wasn't able to help with walks in my area they actually recommended another walking business that I'm now using! So while I ultimately have a different walker I think it speaks very highly of the folks at Doggie Dharma to recommend another business to a potential customer just because they truly care about making sure your pets get the best care possible even if they can't provide it. I am truly impressed at their level of excellent communication and ultimately their dedication to making sure your pets are safe, happy, and cared for.

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!

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!

The app makes it easy to request and track visits, and I get emailed updates every visit with a note and a photo of each pet!

Clearly not someone I would trust with my dog anyways. When emailing with another company for my poor pup, I mentioned the story without saying the company's name. They asked if it was North Shore Dog Walk and said they've heard this same story multiple times from other people. Beware. My experience is obviously they are not reliable.

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.

I'm benefitting from the training as much as my 18-week old Beauceron puppy is. Anne has been very generous with her time and has stayed after to advise us on a couple of issues we were dealing with from our puppy. I like that this club is more focused on precision than other programs we've attended. I'm looking forward to sticking with this club for years and moving up through the levels. If you're looking for a dog training program where anything goes, this might not be for you. But if you're looking for structure and expertise, and your ego can take constructive but direct feedback from experts, you'll love this. It's a great fit for me.
