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 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!

I boarded my dog at North Shore K-9 from September 25-29. When I picked him up, he had a severe eye…read moreinjury that required immediate emergency referral to a veterinary ophthalmologist and ultimately resulted in the loss of his eye. I was not contacted during his stay about any concern with his condition. After pickup, we rushed him directly to the veterinarian. I've included a photo taken of what his eye looks like at time of pick up, showing the condition of his eye at that time and removal of eye due to damage. What was most upsetting was the lack of communication during his stay and the way the situation was handled afterward. Despite providing extensive veterinary documentation and attempting to resolve the matter directly, the facility declined to offer even a refund of the boarding fees and eventually stopped responding. This experience was emotionally devastating for both me and my dog. Based on this experience, I would not boarding here.

We've been bringing our miniature poodles here for boarding and grooming for several years. We've…read morealways been pleased with the care and attention they've given our pups. But they really stood out with their care for our 17 year old, Bailey. Bailey had been showing his age, and standing for grooming was hard for him. When this first happened, they would always ensure he spent the least amount of time possible there and he was almost always ready before 11 a.m. Later, they adjusted the cut they gave him so he didn't have to stand so long. We had Bailey at Carriage Hill for grooming a couple weeks ago. While he was there, he had a seizure (he'd had a couple before and was on medication for them, not at all the fault of Carriage Hill). They called us to come pick him up. When we got there, Francine asked us for his leash so she could comfort him with a familiar smell when they picked him up. They carried our sweet boy to us and Francine was very kind when I asked, "is it time?" We made the difficult decision every dog owner dreads but it was clear that he was having more bad days than good ones. That experience made it crystal clear to me that the team at Carriage Hill really does care about the animals in their care and they make their living doing something that they are passionate about. I can't thank them enough for the kindness they showed us that day and can't wait for the day we're able to bring a new puppy there for grooming.
