When I moved to Woodstock, I talked to at least 4 pet sitters. Michelle was the one I chose…read morebecause: 1) The dogs liked her, 2) She was professional and communicated well and, 3) Her references spoke very highly of her and her ability to work with many types of animals. After 4 years of having Michelle as my pet sitter, I highly recommend her. She is reliable and keeps in touch with texts and photos when she's caring for the dogs and bird. When one of the dogs had a health concern, she stayed very aware of his condition and monitored how much he was eating, drinking, etc. I have no doubt that she cares for my pets as if they were her own!

I have been meaning to write this review for a while now. We took our dog here about 4 times before…read moresummer. I would not take your dog here. No toys to play with and small rooms. The young kid who owns this or whatever also lied to me. I asked about a room and what was going on inside because I could see it and he said nothing and it was being cleaned - that was not true and I could see dogs in there and they all looked so sad. He said we could not go in to see dogs because it would rile them up, also bullshit- you just don't want people seeing your shitty/ depressing rooms. Do not take your dog somewhere if you cannot tour the place - duh no brainer, hence why I feel silly I even came back. The last time we picked our dog up he wreaked of pee and had yellow paws and had to potty right away. I should have known better and actually feel bad I let my dog come here. He was never excited to come. They also do not let you come see inside which is super sketchy and the one time I was able to get a look it legit looked like a jail cell and the dogs looked sad. It's also not cool the workers just stay outside and watch. That is not normal and they should he interacting with the dogs , not staring from a window outside. My dog hated coming here and was never excited. We ended up moving to pampered pets and it's been nothing but amazing ! The workers are great, so friendly and constantly interacting with the dogs. They have TVs where you can also see them and a beautiful outdoor space. They even have a pool for swim lessons . Please safe yourself the trouble and your dog the trauma of coming here. My dog visibly gets excited and cannot wait to come to pampered Pets so also a sign I know he is being loved and treated well.

If the employee or pet isn't doing well in this kind of environment, then they simply suggest new places for them to try out. Seems weird that I'd be saying this, right? Not really. You see, I'm a dog walker and have worked at two different companies. The first place I worked at, one if my fellow dog walkers was recommended to us by this place as they felt he'd do much better in a one-on-one situation rather than in a group environment. The place I currently walk for have gotten clients recommended to us from this place, as they felt group environment wasn't in the best interest for the dog(s) and that they're better off having one-on-one time while relaxing in the comfort of their own home! The next time you're looking for a place to walk your dog, be sure to ask Paws in Pinegree for any and all suggestions!

By far the best trainer we've had to date! I live in Los Angeles but I'm from the Chicago land…read morearea. I rescued a puppy, for my Grandma, that was born on the day my grandpa passed away. Usually I train the puppies before I bring them out to her. This time I didn't. I wanted her to have him asap to help w the grief. My grandpa also had a dog, that never left his side and was with him the night he passed. After his passing we brought her to the funeral so she understood he wasn't coming home. After several tries of nudging him in the casket, kissing him and booping her nose to his nose to try to wake him up she realized he wasn't this time. After the funeral her behavior changed and she started marking everywhere in the house. Not knowing she was marking and bringing a puppy into the mix, made the situation alot more chaotic. My grandmas also in a wheelchair and depends on others for help. Which made things harder for her to train her puppy. After numerous phone calls, either being told it was nearly impossible to do what I needed help with or it's was gonna cost as much as giving them my first born, I nearly gave up. UNTIL.... Richard came to my rescue! When I talk to Richard for the first time, I got a sense of peace and a chance for hope. Instead of him telling me that this situation was an obstacle beyond imagination, or not possible, he took the challenge. He warned me it might take time, given the circumstances that I was pretty much putting him in and limiting what he could and couldn't do. But, he was willing to try and not charge me my first born. After the first session, we saw results that didn't seem reachable in the beginning. We've been able to break my grandpas dog from marking all over the house and the puppy's on his way to being pee pad trained. We still have more work to do but the progress so far gives the positive reassurance to keep going and not quitting. I highly recommend Richard to anyone and everyone! He's truly one of a kind

We have dealt with many other dog walking companies in the past. Its nice to finally be comfortable and not have the same problems day in and day out. Without mentioning the other dog walking companies I have used in the past, Northwestern has far surpassed any expectations I've ever had. Steven, the owner is very down to earth and you can tell right away how much he loves animals. Our dogs never responded so openly and happily to any of our other walkers. And when it comes to our dogs, its who they like that's important to us most. Not once have they ever lost our keys, left our door unlocked, or missed a walk. We can only speak for Steven, the president, as we have never had any other walker from his company. We live in his service area and couldn't be happier about it. Between the flexibility, daily notes and status on new tricks he is working on with our dogs, we actually feel informed for once. It was hard having to wonder if other companies were ACTUALLY coming for the walks, we barely heard two words from most of our other walkers. It really is great knowing what happened on the walks, what improvements our dogs have made, and any concerns he might have. The way our dogs glow when he comes to the door says the rest, I give northwestern an A+. Thanks Steven!
