When I moved to Woodstock, I talked to at least 4 pet sitters. Michelle was the one I chose…read morebecause: 1) The dogs liked her, 2) She was professional and communicated well and, 3) Her references spoke very highly of her and her ability to work with many types of animals. After 4 years of having Michelle as my pet sitter, I highly recommend her. She is reliable and keeps in touch with texts and photos when she's caring for the dogs and bird. When one of the dogs had a health concern, she stayed very aware of his condition and monitored how much he was eating, drinking, etc. I have no doubt that she cares for my pets as if they were her own!

If the employee or pet isn't doing well in this kind of environment, then they simply suggest new places for them to try out. Seems weird that I'd be saying this, right? Not really. You see, I'm a dog walker and have worked at two different companies. The first place I worked at, one if my fellow dog walkers was recommended to us by this place as they felt he'd do much better in a one-on-one situation rather than in a group environment. The place I currently walk for have gotten clients recommended to us from this place, as they felt group environment wasn't in the best interest for the dog(s) and that they're better off having one-on-one time while relaxing in the comfort of their own home! The next time you're looking for a place to walk your dog, be sure to ask Paws in Pinegree for any and all suggestions!

My dog was at Charlie's Doghouse in Crystal Lake for 6 days. It was my first time boarding him…read moreever, and I did a lot of research of where I would send him because I was so nervous. Charlie's DH seemed like it had great reviews, he spent a day there and had fun passing his temperament test, and they offered a cage-free option for overnights which I 100% needed for my dog. I almost didn't go through with boarding him, I tried to find several people to stay at my home for the week, but with scheduling it didn't work out, so I went with Charlie's. I only agreed after an employee promised me that he would make sure the other employees knew how nervous I was and that they would communicate pictures and updates throughout the week as they could. I left on a Friday, I didn't hear from them all weekend. The male employee was the only one to send me pictures and some news about him after the weekend since he wasn't working that weekend, but he said he heard it was busy. I finally got a text from the manager late the last night of his stay regarding a "small scratch" she noticed. Upon picking him up, this was NOT a small and I noticed several other spots along his neck that were raised, felt like bites, and that worried me. The employee also told me that my dog got sick one night, but no one told me this during his stay? I took him to the vet this morning because I was so concerned with the bites, they had to shave his neck region, and we were SHOCKED! Please tell me this is "a small scratch".... Terrifying and I'm so sad I sent my dog here, and he went through that. His neck is shaved, he has marks all over, he's on an ointment, and an oral antibiotic. How did this go "unnoticed"? Wasn't there blood? He has short hair, most of it white in that region. I asked, the employee "doesn't know" if there was blood. Each employee I've spoken to has a different day they "noticed" the "small scratch". There had to have been blood and someone had to have seen this! Why wasn't I contacted WHEN THIS HAPPENED and WHY WASN'T HE TAKEN TO THE VET THEN? Someone is lying or this place was understaffed and unsupervised. As a rescue dog, he already has a very traumatic past, so I am exceptionally sad this happened to him and wouldn't want this happening to another dog. What if my dog was a smaller, weaker breed? Another dog could have been killed, luckily my dog wasn't! Update- I did speak to the owner on the phone this morning after the vet. She was crying and disgusted with what happen- she said she's going to try to look through video footage, but it erases every few days, but she's trying to figure out who is to blame. She said she felt very bad and was very apologetic because she said this is her dream job, and she just wants the dogs to be safe. She seemed sincerely very sorry, so while this was very bad, and I wouldn't want to send my dog back, it also sounds like it's not normal for this place. Idk... She's paying for the vet bill and the 6 day stay not that it will help my dog, but I am thankful he will be okay. I will update this in a week if the vet bill reimbursement check is sent, she has already reimbursed my dog's stay as promised. I wouldn't wish this on any dog.

Henry was comfortable and did well with Amanda and wasn't running for the hills to get out of there upon pick up, which says a lot! The prices are reasonable as doodles are high maintenance dogs and doodle owners know this. Henry looked great and was fresh and clean.

I don't think I'm super fussy, but with my dog's curly coat it has been difficult to find someone that can cut it to make him look like he isn't homeless. The ladies at Shanti Canine Spa did a great job on him and the cost was extremely reasonable. I was truly shocked. It rained overnight and the boys got into mud, so when I asked if they had time to groom the foster pup, not at all expecting a yes, they were able to take him very last minute, too. He doesn't like his paws touched, but they took their time with him and did a fabulous job. I am so beyond happy with the service and friendliness of the staff!! I even got some help getting them into my car as they are a handful when walking together. If you have a pup to groom, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN TO SHANTI CANINE SPA!
