She hates having her nails done and bring groomed in general but when she sees him she calms down. She will literally run to him and be so excited to get groomed.

All the staff was helpful and got us in for an appointment as soon as they could. Excited to be a life long client.

We're so grateful to have found Jerry! He watched our two dogs for a week right after our move to…read moreChicago, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The dogs came back calmer, happier, and clearly well cared for. We weren't worried for a second while we were away -- Jerry was incredibly kind, reliable, and accommodating of all their little quirks and routines. Truly gave us peace of mind during a hectic time, and we're so thankful to have someone we trust with our pups. Highly recommend! Attached Nala getting hugs and Simba being a cutie!!

I am very particular about who we leave her with and I always know she's in the best hands with him. It's been a great alternative to traditional boarding because Ruby isn't confined to a crate/room and gets ton of love and attention. He's super communicative and flexible with scheduling plus Ruby gets SO excited to see him when we drop her off. He's been very attentive to any specific needs (special diet, medication) and always sends check-ins while we're away. Would highly highly recommend Boy Meets Dog anyone!!

Definitely would hire him again.

However, I got this dog sweater from this location and thought maybe my dog would wear it once or twice for pics but never again. (I'm not a huge fan of dogs wearing clothes, but I had to admit a noticeable difference with my short-haired dog not shivering during winter months while wearing two separate coats. So I backed down on making fun of dog coats. My two larger, furrier dogs in prior years never needed manmade coats.) But this sweater is turning into a Linus blanket situation. I tried putting on a "Christmas" dog coat that matched her red Xmas collar (I love festive dog collars!!!), but it was white and getting dirty too quickly. I took it off to handwash it and put the Bark Place pink sweater on my dog solely for one walk, and she's been running away ever since when I try to take it off at night. At one point, she slid under one of the bar stools in my dining room, around the corner, ran into my bedroom and into her crate, flopping down sideways. Even if you don't need anything else in Bark Place, take note of the dog clothes. A bunch of my relatives crochet and knit, so I already knew the dog sweater was solid quality but expected it to wear. It still looks brand new, and my dog is glued to it. When I take it off to bathe her or what I *think* is comfier to sleep at night, she growls and leaps for it. I think a pink sweater and a red bow collar clash, but she couldn't care less about me being the fashion police. I'm tickled by how much she likes THIS particular sweater but has never ever been this into any other dog clothes gift (that I usually return) in four straight years. Don't sleep on the dog sweaters, I guess, unless you're my own dog who will turn over sideways so she CAN sleep in hers.

(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.

It is very easy to schedule dog walks on her app, and payment was super easy via Zelle. A few special things Faith did over the years for Gypsy: -yearly birthday and holiday gifts -special trips for pup cups, doggy ice cream, and other treats at dog-friendly neighborhood places -gifted her a warm coat and paw protection for cold/icy Chicago winters -always provided photo updates with each walk -always made sure gypsy was well hydrated -takes Covid precautions very seriously Our family recently moved out of state, which is the only reason why we no longer use Faith.
