I received a call the day after Christmas, that my dog was howling in pain and couldn't get up. I…read moreasked if they could get him to a vet and they said no, I had to pick him up. When arrived they wanted to use ropes to lift him with due to so badly soiled. So we supplied our own blanket and carried him to car. He was in obvious pain, soiled, bleeding from mouth. He was immediately taken to animal hospital and advised had to be put down for fractured back and kidney issues. When asked for an explanation Randa immediately sent a refund saying upon my request, which was just for explanation. When followed up was told I can't sue because I signed a waiver, that it was my fault for boarding an older dog and not boarded before. I never made any accusations or asked for anything but an explanation. I'm so devastated I left my pet/family member in their care.

We LOVE Mary! And our dogs and cat do too!…read more We have two small dogs and a cat. All of which definitely have their own sets of issues! One has anxiety issues who eats everything (paper towels anyone?) and likes to poop/barf around the house from time to time. One has a bum leg who has 4 pills in the morning and 3 in the evening. And then a cat who can be severely aggressive when he wants something! I've had house sitters in the past and now that I've found Tails 2 Trails I hope to never lose them! Mary is an excellent communicator and I'm always able to get a hold of her. The dogs are happy to see her and get into their own routine when she arrives. She's watched them for over a week's length of time and as short as just a quick stop over if we are out too long for the day. I seriously trust her more than my own grandmother. (Whom I love but doesn't listen and follow directions!)

I never worry when she is with Mark and his caring staff. Gizmo comes home tired and happy! She gets lots of love and attention whether she is there for a day or several.

I cannot recommend this facility enough!

While Doggie Dharma wasn't able to help with walks in my area they actually recommended another walking business that I'm now using! So while I ultimately have a different walker I think it speaks very highly of the folks at Doggie Dharma to recommend another business to a potential customer just because they truly care about making sure your pets get the best care possible even if they can't provide it. I am truly impressed at their level of excellent communication and ultimately their dedication to making sure your pets are safe, happy, and cared for.

I explained to call me at earliest convenience sane day if possible. They say : ok... They never called . I call again next day to hope to receive a call back. No text or call. Very unprofessional service . Not polite or concerning. I don't understand why they have good reviews when they treat their future clients this way . I was not pushy on my messages was professional and giving them time in same day. It's been a month now later and still no call back. Really not a good service.

We have been using Northbrook Pet Nannies for over a year and Melissa provides excellent services…read morein our home. We have a Bernese Mountain Dog and a French Bulldog - who are obviously very different in terms of both personality and their needs. This past 8 nights, one of her employees Jim stayed overnight in our home with the dogs. He texted me to let me know how things were going regularly and he seemed to genuinely love spending time with the dogs. Our Berner can be stubborn so I typically tell the dog sitters not to walk her, but Jim took both of them on walks daily in order to keep them out of the messy yard. We returned home to 2 calm dogs, without any issues! We joked that the house looks cleaner than when we left - he definitely took care of cleaning up after the messy dogs (which I don't usually expect!) Melissa is great in responding for last minute visits if we are out unexpectedly and now we feel that when it's time for vacation, we can go again without worrying about the dogs!

I have never used a pet service...now I will never use anyone else!…read more I have never had a need for anyone to watch and feed my cat (or previous cats) as I always had a friend or neighbor willing. However, this time I needed someone for my vacation and I was more than pleased. Valerie explained things wonderfully and made me feel at ease. Sherrie watched my cat...sent pics, videos, and left me updates for each day. She even let me know when something was "amiss" at my house (i.e. car in my driveway). She kept in touch and made me feel very comfortable. I was very happy with her and am so happy to know that she will be my primary. The price was way more reasonable than I thought it would be. I couldn't be happier with this first experience. (says I am in Hoffman....am in Palatine)
