1. K9 University
“My dog has been going to K9 University for about 8 years. When I’m out of town or not I take him there for doggy daycare. They take care of his grooming. I also have enrolled my dog into their classes for nose work, agility and obedience and my dog absolutely loves it. I am also satisfied with the results and experience of K9 University INC. Their staff members are well trained and they all practice the same delivery of services, for instance, what one staff members provide in quality customer services so does the remaining 5 staff members, therefore the quality you receive from this company isn’t compromised; moreover, they go above and beyond. They are all very professional and possess a wonderful attitude – they look very happy to be there. I’ll most definitely recommend using K9 University INC.”

“When I first saw Jennifer I knew right away that I could safely leave my dog to her. Cola had a great time with Jen and her family while we had a whole day trip in Chicago city. It’s very convenient that her place is only 15 mins away from the downtown area. Thank you Jen and family -Ryan from Minnesota”

“She couldn’t have been more perfect. I was visiting downtown Chicago for the day and needed a place for my Bella to hang out. Tiana was available on short notice, was incredibly responsive and easy to talk to, and gave my Bella a wonderful half day in the city. They went for walks, visited a dog part and hung out at her place. Bella was a happy, tired doggie when we got her back. Many, many thanks and our highest recommendation to Tiana. We’d work with her again without hesitation.”
