I was going away on vacation and needed a pet sitter for my cat and parakeets…read more I honestly was very nervous to allow a stranger into my home and take care of my fur children.  I looked online and found that CCDD had extremely positive reviews (now I know why!!)   I reached out to Maureen (Owner) and expressed my concern.  She immediately put me at ease with her professionalism, caring nature and organization of the transaction. While I was away on my vacation Maureen was truly amazing.  I received daily texts with photos of the care that was given each day, including pictures of the freshly scooped litter boxes and filled food bowls with details of the daily findings.   Maureen truly goes out of her way to provide exceptional care to both my pets and my home!  During one of her visits a fire alarm battery had given out and was beeping.  Maureen immediately contacted me and took care of the beeping alarm as she was worried about my cat having to endure the constant beeping while I was gone.    I cannot recommend CCDD enough as Maureen truly cares about your pet and home!!  I highly recommend!!!!

Great service! First time using Cozy Cats last month while I was away for a week. The sitter (Luna)…read morewas incredible. I received very detailed reports of my cat's visit along with at least a dozen photos and a video each day. My cat is very timid around strangers but warmed to Luna quickly, enjoying the attention and even allowing for some playtime. The initial consultation and key drop off was very smooth. Highly recommend.

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.

Meg and the other trainers do a great job with the dogs and the owners (who in our case were the ones that really need the training). They have a nice set up, small classes and our dog liked it so much that every time I open the door to my car he tries to jump in figuring that we are going back there. Meg offers practical, reasonable advice and it is obvious that all of the staff really care for the animals. Highly recommend for anyone looking for help with their training.

His kindness, enthusiasm, knowledge, humor, and love for my dogs is evident in every class. I hate driving more than most things in life and happily schlep half an hour each way to get to class. My dogs start whining and wiggling with excitement half a mile away and make a beeline for Jim as soon as we walk in the door, much to the dismay of his jealous dogs. If you can get a spot in one of Jim's classes, I highly recommend it.

For agility, the turf is one of the best in the area. As an instructor, Jim has helped me train my 1st agility dog (Tully who is on the right) since 2018. Tully has earned multiple championships & Jim has supported us from afar at many competitions. Now, he is helping me train our border collie (Kinja on left). Jim does a great job supporting & encouraging me even when I get frustrated during class. I recommend him & the facility.

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.

I searched and searched for a dog walking company on Thumbtack and on Yelp and finally came across…read moreone that served the Northbrook area. HAPC responded right away on Yelp, took my information, made a home visit, and we were on our way! Vanessa the owner was a dream. She met my moms dog Louie and started walking him and I would get daily status emails and pics of Louie when they were out and about. What I also love about HAPC is that I didn't have to go through so many hoops and applications like some other companies who ask for way too much info, like your dogs blood type and your blood type etc. I kid, but really, HAPC makes the process go a lot easier than what's out there. If you need a reasonably priced, reliable, and trustworthy dog walking company, I would not hesitate to contact Home Alone Pet Care. I thank you Vanessa, you're a life saver!
