My King Charles spaniel Sally loves coming here SO much. We had a family situation out of town…read morewhere she had to be boarded very young (14 weeks old) and she has loved it ever since. She is 9 months and starts wiggling the second she sees the door. She " talks" to the staff like they're her best friends. We couldn't be more grateful, I never worry when I leave town for work now. She also attends the daycare and loves it too.

Irving Park where have you been all my pups life?! Let me start by saying my dog sitter cancelled a…read moreday before my planned trip for Thanksgiving to Florida. I was so close to cancelling my trip altogether when I found out about Andrew and Irving Bark from a family friend. The facility is very dog friendly and conveniently located to me and I would imagine most of the city. I love love love that Andrew lives on site since he's always nearby the dogs and they are never really alone. I also love how he is near the emergency vet in case of emergency and right across from a pet store in case I drop the babes and forgot something last minute. The facility is very nice and dog friendly, its doesn't have unnecessary frills and the yard outside is so nice and completely fenced in. My Pomeranians got their own room and I was allowed to bring their fave beds and even their stroller and Andrew and Margaret took them on a stroll at my request as not to mess up their usual routine too much! They sent my husband and I daily updates and pics and always had a camera on the pups so they can watch them from anywhere. I loved that so much. Their special meals were all given on time and they got lots of exercise in the fenced yard. One of my Poms is very very anxious and scared of people but by the time I went to pick him up he was cuddling with Margaret and almost didn't want to come with me! One of my Poms is very fragile 3 lb elderly guy and they were so gentle and careful with him, even more than I would be myself. My babies were so well taken care of, I am confident I will use Andrew and Irving bark ahead of all of my other sitter options forever. Never have I taken a trip and had such peace of mind that my dogs were well handled, safe and most importantly, HAPPY! Can't say enough good things about Irving Bark, Andrew and Margaret.

I took my King Charles Cavalier to Paws and Claws for bath and a little trim near her butt. She…read morewas groomed by the OWNER. Not the first time I had been here. She trummed the hair on her back I don't know why. Three days later my dog was jumping on sofa , gave her a little push and she cried. (She had been licking her butt ever since her grooming). She would not let me look. My vet had no appointment so took her to immediate care. Vet told me she had her butt cut, it had dried blood and was raw and red. She had to get cleaned up got a cone and meds And had to return following week. Cost over $200 and my dog in pain. Owner is dishonest and never told me she cut my dog. Don't take your dog here you don't know what can happen to your dog. I could only post by giving a star but this groomer does not deserve any stars.

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.

They post instagram updates of the dogs at daycare having fun which is always great to see too. You can even message them and ask for an update on your dog. One of my favorite aspects of dogaholics is that there is an outdoor space. In the winter, they can frolic around in the snow, and in the summer, they bring out mini pools and hoses to keep the dogs cool. It makes me happy knowing that my dog gets to play outside and socialize with other dogs. When I use to have to work late, the staff was always extremely accommodating with late pickups. I truly cannot recommend this place more. Finding a facility you can trust to care for your dog and love them like your own is special. This is that place for us thanks to the Dogaholics team! Special shoutout to Hannah for taking my last minute calls to bring my dog in, and for always giving him extra cuddles! See cute pics for confirmation of how great they are :)

She has gone as far as pick up toilet paper Foxy chewed up, filled up her water bowl, and just made the whole process of leaving Foxy at home so much easier.

The app they use shows where they walked, they send photos, and even tell you when they go to the bathroom. Truly felt at ease having them walk Foxy. Thank you all so much for loving our dogs as if they were you're own.
