To address concerns that other's wrote: 1.) the only smell in the front lobby is from the cleaners they are required to use to keep the place sanitary, Barb and here staff are always cleaning and keeping busy. I never see them stop moving when I am there. 2.) dehydration may be a consideration anytime an animal is boarded. When they are boarded they never act the way they do when they are home due to an unfamiliar environment. I always expect my dogs to be on the thinner side when I pick them as they have always been at prior kennels. They just don't eat or drink normally. 3.) weeds over growing in the outside kennels???? Never the case. Maybe this person was picking up at anoddtimeof the year when they were waiting for their landscaping contractor to start,I don't know, I have never seen this. In the year I have been using her my three dogs have been boarded 7 times and never a problem. Barb is a very responsible kennel owner. After our last stay our puppy had become ill and sad,y needed surgery. Barb was concerned that her staff had done something and was beneficial in trying to figure this great mystery out. She was constantly calling to check on our baby. After all was said and done it was a blind cord that our baby got from our home. We have no clue how she got it but she did. Barb still kept in contact with us to make she she was okay. My pack isn't an easy one too board but Barb makes sure that all As long as we live in Valpo and her doors are open instructions are followed. We have an 11 yo GSD, a 9 yo GSD & a 10 mo GSD. She goes out of her way to make sure they are kenneled the way they need to bed so that everyone is comfortable. That they all get their special treats I leave them and that all the medications I leave are dispensed and accounted for. She does an amazing job! As long as I live in Valpo and her doors are open she will be the only kennel I use!

I'm here to tell you, River Valley Pet Resort in Momence is NOT the place to board your dog. I had…read morea really bad experience. You think you're getting this clean environment, friendly staff and well taken care of dog but what you don't know is they don't let them out the 3 times a day that they say let alone have someone pet them and give them attention... who knows if she even got food and water like said. If you want the short version, I picked up my dog and a day later she came down with a UTI from having to hold it for so long because shes HOUSE BROKE and not one to just take a leak in the kennel. The vet found blood and extra protein in her pee sample. She was peeing on herself today and shaking and that's what finally made me take her to the vet but the other two days prior she was vomiting and super lethargic and barely left her one spot. I thought she just brought home a stomach bug from the pet resort which very well could have been but also turns out she had a severe UTI as well. ALSO..... they don't answer their damn phone so that goes to show that nobody is even there! The poor dogs sit in this "garage" all day long and do nothing other than be caged. I was just gonna talk to the owner and settle all of this but now as i get to be out $325, she gets bad reviews Bella suffered for 4 long days at the kennel and now probably another week while she gets over this UTI.

We would always book an extra large suite with patio access allowing the dogs to go in and out of a doggie door all day long and they had plenty of room within the suite and would have some yard/playtime, depending on their temperament. Every suite door has a paper with all the details about your animal and any special dietary restrictions or temperament issues so anybody dealing with your dog knows what's up before they even approach them. Our dogs were always happy when we picked them up.

And a place that can handle all his medications. After several failures, I was referred to this location through Shelton's adoption center, One Tail At A Time. He has never been so calm and chill, leaving boarding, too bad I missed a video opp! Typically he is all ball of anxiety, this is also the first time he's gone straight to sleep after arriving home!! Checking in, the staff said, "if you don't hear from us, that is a good thing." I was a bit skeptical, but that was a true statement! They called when something was right with his poop when there was extra medication in his bag and to inquire about his toys. I appreciated the ongoing communication, and judging by the report card, he loved the team. I was side-eying the $88 a day (with a private patio), but it is worth the price (esp if your pet is non-animal friendly). The basic suites are spacious for a short stay.

I believe I was in contact with KIM who honestly made me feel like I was just chatting with a friend! She was so approachable, understanding, and really went into the details of what option would best support my tiny fur children. Fast forward 3 months and we just wrapped up our in-home training package with Maureen! I cannot stress how amazing the entire experience was. Maureen has truly changed our lives for the better. Where we started to where we are now is night and day better, especially for my more aggressive dog Luna! We went from no one being able to enter our apartment with the dogs out to now the dogs just hanging out when people are here! Maureen is patient with pets AND people. She is always positive and really explains the WHY of the behaviors and outcomes. She's always on time, super professional, and gave us practical tools that actually work to truly set our dogs up for success but also US up for success as "parents" Honestly, I am a little sad Maureen is so great at her job because we will miss her coming over! If you want a trainer who knows her stuff and makes the whole process feel doable, Maureen is your person!

Before my husband received our boy back the groomer told him that he was going to be mad at her. When we got him back, he was shaved all over including the top of his head, ears, and tail - No custom cut as requested. They did not give him a summer cut leaving the top of his hair, ears, or tail. This is so unacceptable. I'm not sure if the groomer did not want to take the necessary time to scissor those areas or what. They then had the audacity to bill my husband $120 which sound like the platnium price for a poodle which should have includes a custom hair cut; however, all they did was shaved/butched him and did not provide the custom cut as requested. He did not look like my same dog when we received him back.

The convenient Wheaton location of the facility is great for daycare and they also allow for half-day daycare too. Very flexible scheduling. When I pick my dog up, I can tell that she's received personalized attention from the staff and that she has been well cared for. Often she's been able to work one-on-one with a staff member for nearly all of her half-day session. We also attend the group classes which are incredibly unique and let my dog build up practice interacting with other dogs in a way that reinforce new, good behaviors. My neighbors are thrilled with the progress almost as much as I am - my dog no longer automatically barks at everyone outside now and is able to make new friends. The in home training we did originally was incredibly valuable to get us started on the right foot. We need to do that again very soon! Is it the least expensive daycare and/or training in the area? No. But it is ABSOLUTELY worth it. When I leave my dog in the care of The Canine's Voice I know that she's going to be safe, loved, and will learn a few things while she's there. The classes are incredibly valuable too. The results speak for themselves.
