daniele laub, owner and primary dogwalker at dillydally, has been walking our puppy since she was…read morethree months old, and she is amazing! when she met our dog she instantly had a rapport with her. i went back to work after being unemployed a few months ago and got daniele's name from another dog owner on our block. he highly recommended her so i gave it a shot. the first day i was back at work, daniele texted me all day to let me know how our dog was doing and to answer all of my ridiculous questions. she completely put my mind at ease and has given me so much good advice. she also writes notes every day with how their walks went. daniele definitely goes above and beyond to be good to our dog and to make our lives easy. she's super flexible when we haven't needed her at the last minute. she also has given us a ton of good recommendations for other dog services. and another great part is that the walks are really reasonable. we only pay $12 for a half hour walk. i believe she also does playtime at the park with dogs for $20 for a couple of hours. if you need a dogwalker, i highly recommend daniele/dillydally. i completely trust her with my dog and coming into my home everyday. our dog is the lovable, happy puppy she is in part because of daniele. she's the best!

Veronica has been our dog walker ever since Doris was adopted from PAWS July 10. Along with the…read moreease of scheduling her feeds and walks with Roscoe Recess' owner, Taylor, I've appreciated their attempts to always accommodate my needs. Doris is an extremely shy dog, but Veronica has learned how to manage Doris' anxiety and bathroom breaks. I especially love the full report I get after Veronica finishes her time with Doris. I'm grateful that I didn't have to sign up for a regular schedule of walking, as many services require. I already have Veronica booked for 6 visits on different dates and times in August. This ease of scheduling has made dog owning much more manageable.

I couldn't be happier to have found Miguel and Lake Shore Pet Club. He's so good with my cats (who…read morecan be very shy and anxious around new people), and it's evident in how he interacts with them and how he talks about his business that he genuinely cares about animals--not just those he's sitting for, but animals everywhere. Miguel also makes sure my home is left clean, always shows up on time, sends notes and photos during his visits, and has been available for me on short notice without issue. It's that kind of commitment and professionalism that I love. As a former pet sitting business owner and pet sitter myself, I can't recommend Lake Shore Pet Club highly enough.

Our Doggo loves DLOD. The staff are great, professional and kind. The original temperament test…read morethey did with our dog, indicated that she would thrive with a couple of the packs of dogs, so she gets extra play time. We utilize the daycare a couple times a month and the boarding a couple times a year. When we pull up she runs to their door, and when they let her back she will scurry to her favorite staff for tummy rubs that they will happily oblige in. She returns to us worn out! They no longer provide grooming. (Provided 4 starts rather than 5 due to it often being unclear the best way and times to communicate with them).

DO NOT GO TO THIS VET- NOT SAFE FOR PET…read more We took our dog, they took her back without us meeting the vet which was red flag number one. We agreed on 3 vaccines for her, we were charged for 2. I called them when we got home and asked if she had gotten the 3 vaccines or not and they said yes and I need to pay for the third one. I have no proof that she was given the 3rd vaccine, so was not comfortable paying for it. When I explained that I have no way of knowing that our dog received all 3 vaccines because the shots were not given in front of me and my receipt only reflects 2 shots, the receptionists laughed at me. I have a call scheduled with the manager next week, I will change my review depending on how that goes, but most importantly I am not ok with them taking my pet without me having met the vet; that is unsafe.

Heidi has worked with myself and my senior mother providing personal assistance services for a…read morewhile now. She is exceptional at what she does, with an eye for detail and is extremely trustworthy and the quality of her work is great! Her rates are very competive and 100% worth it. In addition to being good at her job, she is also a very caring and conscientious and a truly genuine person. We feel blessed to have her assistance and feel very fortunate to have met her and have the opportunity to have her help our family out. I highly recommend her services and would encourage anyone who is looking for someone to help with personal assistant tasks or pet sitting, to give Heidi a chance. You will not be disappointed!

I needed help with prepping my place back in Chicago for movers, along with some related tasks…read more This involved working with someone trustworthy, flexible, and independent - as I am currently living out of state. What a relief it was to have someone like Heidi helping me out from start to finish. The job turned out to be a little bigger than I expected. But Heidi was super helpful, dependable, and flexible. This work involved not only doing some leftover packing, but working with the movers, storage location, and the cleaning service. Cannot imagine how challenging and nerve-racking this all could have been had I ended up having to work with someone else, or more likely - a few someone-elses :) Heidi kept me up to date each step of the way with texts and photos when appropriate. She provided me with detailed invoices so I knew exactly what I was paying for. And most importantly to me, she reached out when questions arose - which was inevitable with this type of situation. Everything is now completely done. My belongings are safely stored. My apartment was left in great condition - and my previous property managers are happy. Not sure what the word or phrase is for something far better than a "job well done", but that's how I would describe my experience working with Heidi. Zero hesitation recommending her services to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy person to help out.

Terrible! Stay away from this groomer. At one time maybe 5 years ago, they had decent mobile…read moregroomer I took my dog to when he was young. Although even that service was uneven and I eventually stopped going due to that and the attitude. When I recently moved back to Chicago (been away 4 yrs), I mistakingly thought I'd give them another chance. First, the booking "system" is basically sending an email hoping to get a response. When I didn't, I sent another one for mobile grooming but was told they weren't accepting new mobile clients. So I said I would be happy to bring him up to the store. When I got there, the business is in a very sketchy area of uptown. Broken glass was all in front of the building. So much that I picked my dog up so he wouldn't step on it. The store is locked and you have to wait to be buzzed in (sketchy). The groomer acted like he knew what he was doing:how best to trim a Cavalier. It took over 3 hours before he was done. Never in all the hundreds of grooms has it taken more than 2 hours. It also had heavy condensation on the windows and smelled like a combination of old wet towels and garbage in the store. And my pup was traumatized. He had tears, and his eyes were half closed and just looked weird. When we got home he was not happy. His eyes looked like they were swelling up. And he didn't want to eat or play. I almost took him to the ER but decided to watch him first. In the morning his eyes were better but I noticed that the groomer had shaved his face all the way up to and around his eyes ! What the hell ?! You never do that! It'll grow out but this place is a serious no!
