    Anthony picking up Lucy from our wedding - wouldn't have been able to have her there without him :)

    Anthony and his team are absolutely amazing! We cannot say enough good things about Fido's Gotta Go and the incredible job they do for our girls! We especially love the constant stream of updates we get while we are away - texts and pictures of our girls after their walks and play time We don't trust our girls with anyone but Anthony and his team - we 100% recommend them to anyone! Anthony was even sweet enough to pick up our Boston, Lucy, from our wedding after she hung out during cocktail hour - we seriously can't thank him enough!

    When it comes to your dog, if you're like me, you only want a place that's going to love them and treat them with the amount of care and respect you give them. So, why choose Tony and his crew when looking for a dog trainer? Because not only does he have years of experience working with many dogs, hundreds of hours of leaning and training with leading professionals within the obedience field, but most importantly he LOVES what he does. I'm in my last year of college so dog training is a luxury for people like me, who only have a college budget to begin with. However, it is something that I knew I needed to do for my dog without question. I live in the city but I work at a stable with horses, so not only did I need the basics taught to my dog but the commands needed to be solid and reliable off leash as well. Those commands are what keeps my dog safe when I am in the saddle or working at the stables during the summer. I called so many trainers, well over 50, and the reason I chose Tony (and will only ever choose him to ever work for my dog) is because he goes above and beyond for every single animal in his care. I cannot tell you how long he stayed on the phone during my initial informational call, noting every single concern I had. Tony actually LISTENED about who my dog was, who I was, and my hopes and dreams with my new pup. He not only understood my worries but laid out a thought out game plan that could work with my budget, and time I was asking for a lot: a trainer who could have a price range that I could actually work with, actually give me a well-trained dog and someone who would love my dog while under their care. Tony has stepped up to the plate in every single one of those aspects. During Hammer's (my dog) board and train, I would constantly be sent pictures and videos of Hammer, which was great to see especially since I missed him so much while he was away. Tony always gave me weekly calls to update me on Hammer's progress and to answer any questions or concerns I had at the time. He worked so hard to find a training method that actually worked on my pup. When my dog wasn't feeling well or was feeling stressed out Tony resorted taking my dog to HIS home in order to make him more comfortable and to be able to keep a better eye on him. He gave the best quality care and went above and beyond our expectations, and the dog he returned to me blew me away.He's so well trained that when I do take him to work, he even heels next to me as I'm ON my horse. I always get complimented on Hammer's behavior, temperament, and training which all comes as a result of all the hours and hard work that were put into him. Hammer still has a long way to go with his training and is now going to his second board and train with Tony in a couple of weeks. The reason why you should choose Tony to train, board or even walk your dog lies within my own personal story and experiences with him. He makes having a well-trained dog possible for anyone and works with the puppy parents as much as he works on the dog. He's not in this business to take peoples money, if he sees your dog need additional time after the agreed set training time he will put in the additional training time towards the dog with no additional fees. Trainers as dedicated and passionate as the one found within Fido's Gotta Go are rare, so take the opportunity and give your dog the best Chicago has to offer.

    Our dogs LOVE Anthony! One of our dogs does not get along very well with strangers. Since he's a pitbull, it can be rather intimidating when he's growling at you. After a week of Anthony not giving up on him, he was hooked! They are both always stoked to see him walk through the door. The Pet Check technology He offers is also very cool in the fact I can get live updates at my desk and feedback from each visit. Anthony has been a godsend for us especially not giving up on our difficult "child" while some other walkers we tried previously said no. He has been walking our dogs about 11 months now and has always been 100% reliable. I can't recommend him enough!

    See all

    No one loves or cares for dogs as much as Valarie. As everyone knows, pets are family. After doing…read moreour research, when we had to go out of town, we chose to leave our two dogs, Bella and VonHellsing with Valarie. She has shown nothing but compassion and kindness to our dogs and to us! If a dog gets sick on her watch, she immediately takes them to the vet and communicates with you. Recently, Bella got cancer and I leaned on Valarie to help me handle this very sad situation! The dogs get more exercise at Valarie's than with us. When they come home, they sleep most of the first day. I have always felt confident that my dogs were in good, capable hands when they were with Valarie!

    Valerie is a delight to work with. While it seems a tiny bit pricey (I pay $18 per visit with my…read moretwo cats--pretty standard in this area), it's not when you consider what you're getting. She is considerate and caring, and I feel 100% comfortable leaving my kitties with her (as much as I hate leaving them!). The best part is Valerie doesn't bat an eyelash at whatever preposterous instructions you leave with her. One of my cats is a finicky eater, so I have a comical song-and-dance routine that I have to go through every morning to get both boys fed before I leave. I left instructions after explaining over the phone, and she was happy to do it! I know if I had a friend try to do it, I couldn't trust them to give that level of care, and I'd feel weird even asking. Long story short, if you want the best care, I'd trust Valerie. As with many things, I'm sure you could find cheaper somewhere (Craigslist), but you'll get what you pay for.
