I love Smart Paws :')…read more After working from home for two years and never leaving my dog's side, I started a new job requiring me to come into the office 3 days per week. My Boston is beyond attached and has epilepsy requiring a strict medicine regimen throughout the day. Between my anxiety of leaving him for hours without monitoring for his seizures and the anxiety I assume he must have felt with this sudden transition, Smart Paws has truly saved the day. I had tried Dog Camps in Chicago previously, but the absurd prices for rooms far too overfilled with dogs was something I was desperately trying to avoid. Smart Paws is amazing - they are so easy to schedule with on the fly, and the pictures and status updates from the walkers (specifically Abby if she ever reads this!!) each time they visit truly make my day. They administer Figg's medicine, take him on different walks each time allowing him to adventure, and always play with him and fill his water bowl after the walk. This is by far the fairest pricing for dog walking I've found in the city, and the walkers are top notch. I can go to work without a doubt in my mind that Figg is getting the best care despite the new "alone time" in his routine. Thank you Smart Paws!!!!

There really shouldn't be a reason why you should be allowed to arrive up to an hour before a scheduled appointment, that is what throws everything off if they come early.

Your pet will be in competent, caring hands with these guys.

I cannot recommend Majestic Paws enough for dog walking. I have used this company for almost a year…read morenow, since adopting my puppy, and have had such a positive experience. I contacted them on a Friday and was able to start service that next Monday. I bought a lockbox for my key, but they can even set that up for you for a flat fee. Scheduling service is a breeze on the Time to Pet app and you get a full report with a short write up, photos, a checklist and map of the completed walking route from the walker after they return. Every employee I've interacted with from this organization has been really pleasant to work with. If you're looking for a caring team of people to walk your pup, try out Majestic Paws!

I set up and appointment to discuss details and John the owner spoke with me same day. Since day one I had a wonderful experience with someone walking my boy and John was very empathetic to my situation as well. Both Chad and Ellen are amazing humans/walkers who my boy likes and he does not like everyone. I highly recommend Majestic Paws along with great service the system they use allows messaging and after walks you get a report with photos of the walk. I tried phoning other businesses who either took forever to get back to me or told me they don't do German Shepherds. It has been a great experience with my boy exhausted after long walks and my stress way down with trusted care. Bless everyone at Majestic Paws!!!

The cats have beautiful and clean cubbies and the dogs have large clean rooms. The staff are excellent at what they do! I was not expecting to be so wowed by an animal shelter. The puppy we adopted is doing so well. He's sweet and loving and very very smart! We feel we hit the jackpot. I highly recommend animal care league if you're looking to adopt a cat/kitten, dog/puppy, or rabbit. They accept animals from shelters from the surrounding states so when you adopt here you are saving an animal and giving it a loving forever home.

I unfortunately had the displeasure of adopting from the Animal Care League in Oak Park. I adopted…read morea dog who had several ongoing health conditions that were evident in his medical history which was not disclosed at the time of adoption. They were informed that I did not have the financial capacity in order to accommodate a dog that would need significant financial commitment beyond standard vet appointments and care. When I took him to the vet, they pointed out several lifelong health issues that were extremely severe and would need hundreds of dollars' worth of treatment monthly. When I looked his past medical history, it seems to have been the shelter was pursuing ongoing treatment of these issues but decided not to inform me although I was very up front with my limitations. Additionally, I only had him for 5 days at the vet clinic they had discovered that he had a severe double ear infection to the point he was bleeding, clearly not something that developed in just a few days. When I adopted him, they told me and my family he was a healthy dog that would need little medical assistance and that he was vet checked which was clearly a lie considering the state we brought him home in. Over the past 5 days we have bonded and he has gotten along with all our family members and even our other dog. I unfortunately, had to surrender him due to the lack of disclosure of information, when I talked to the operations manager the solution she gave me was that she was sorry and that it can be hard to diagnose things. But looking in his medical chart there has been a long-standing issue with this very same problem and was once on the same very expensive medicine that we were expected to put him on. I am hurt that there was little to no resolution other than taking a dog away from a loving family that just didn't have enough money to accommodate to his needs, but also little accountability of their actions. The general manager was largely dismissive, never offered any solutions to me and my visibly extremely upset family. Instead, we left the office in tears with an "I'm sorry that happened". And just to highlight to any prospective adopters from this shelter in their contract it says they are not liable for any misinformation they may give as it may be from third party sources, in other words it is okay for them to misinform and lie to your face. But to leave this review on a more positive note I fortunately was able to treat his double ear infection before surrendering him, he is so deserving of a loving home unfortunately I just cannot afford a dog with such severe medical issues.
