First off, this review is long overdue. My dog Lucy LOVES this place & so do I. I recently moved to…read moreEvanston and needed somewhere for my Frenchie to go while I worked.  I went to several other dog daycares,  but none were a good fit until I found this place. Here are a few of the reasons why Rex's Place is the place to go: - Cleanliness: it's SO clean inside & doesn't have the usual smell of dog urine when you walk in & when you pick up your pups. - Fun environment: they have pools and water toys for the pups to cool off with during the hot days. They even do fun photo shoots with the dogs. Checkout their Social Media pages to see what your pups are doing for the day. - AMAZING staff: They give me a report on how Lucy did for the day & always greet me & the pup with a friendly smile. - Flexible hours: their hours are great for drop off/pick up. Same with boarding, most places charge a ton for additional hours but the hours here fit my crazy schedule perfectly. -For new pups, they do a free trial day to evaluate temperament which shows they care. Average/overcrowded boarding facilities that only want $$$ don't really care to do this. I'm also glad to see that they thoroughly screen vet records to make sure dogs are vaccinated before starting trial day. The one and only thing I really miss and wish they had are Webcams: being able to watch my fur baby from work to see how she's doing would be nice. But overall I have nothing but good things to say about this place! Thank you to Kathy and all the staff at Rex's Place you are all angels for the work you do!

I sent my dog here for years. At first things were great, but then they went downhill fast. After…read morecountless issues I had to pull my dog from Rex's Place. The most troubling - they sent my dog home with the wrong family and they didn't even realize it until I showed up to get her. Unfortunately I do not recommend trusting them with your dog. I have documentation to support all of my claims.

It makes you feel like you were there even when you need to be away at work! They let my dog explore and sniff during walks, recognizing that this is HIS time and he can use it doing what he wants.

Shari and Darren run Pawsitive Petcare. We have used their service since our dog, Daisy,…read more was a puppy. She is now 11 years old. I can't begin to say enough about the outstanding service, compassion, and care that is Pawsitive Petcare. Over the years we have met the most delightful and caring dog walkers. They are so reliable and they care deeply about my Daisy and work to make her daily walks the kind of walk that suits her. Exceptional and caring, we recommend Pawsitive Petcare!!

We have used Heaven Sent Pet Care for 4 dogs now. While we have always been happy with their…read moreservice, responsiveness and flexibility, our recent experience with them has been next level. A 1yo lab mix just joined our family somewhat suddenly. He was a bit anxious and didn't warm up to everybody right away. They came to meet him a few times before we needed the walking to start so that he would be comfortable. They were VERY patient as he worked through his fears and now he does zoomies when his walker comes to take him out.

We're still using Heaven Sent and we couldn't be happier. I don't have any material updates, I just…read morewanted to post again to reiterate the praise from my original review and let folks know we've been using Heaven Sent continuously since then too. Bravo Heaven Sent!

It is priceless to find a trustworthy person to come into your home and take your best friend out into the world, and I am relieved to have found Grant whom I can count on. When I was with my dog, walking at an Art Fair, my dog saw Grant and went and hugged him. That says it all.

Grant has been walking our dogs for over a month now, and, I'm happy to say that they are very…read morehappy with their new friend. He has never missed a walk, he always leaves a note letting us know who did what, and, hopefully this fall and/or winter he'll be able to take them to the dog beach. A few of our neighbors that are home during the day have told us how happy the dogs look when they're out with him and their other 4-legged friends.

I can't say enough about Adam and Barkwalk. Our previous dog walker decided to stop providing…read moreservice to our area and we needed to quickly find a replacement. Adam and Cary came out promptly and from the first phone call were incredibly professional and accommodating. We have an older dog and she immediately felt comfortable with Adam. I really appreciated his flexibility as sometimes our schedules would change at the last minute (or I would forget to notify him the evening before that a walk wouldn't be needed the following day). Adam was always gracious and accommodating. I also really appreciated how responsive he was to texts and emails. He was also wonderful about coordinating walks around showings when we were in the process of selling our home. We recently left Highland Park and I know that our dog is going to miss Adam terribly. Barkwalk provides exceptional service.
