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.”

“Ashley was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog was comfortable with his stay at her house while I worked. She was very communicative, made sure to have full understanding of his care, and gave him lots of love! From the moment I dropped him off, I can tell she really cares about the pets she and her daughter care for, when I picked Echo up at the end of the day, he was so sad to leave! I’ll definitely be booking with Ashley again! :)”

“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.

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.”

Andrius truly loves long walks, which is perfect for my dog’s high energy levels. If you have an active dog that needs a lot of movement, Andrius is the perfect fit. He’s reliable, caring, and always goes the extra mile (literally!) to make sure my dog gets all the exercise he needs. My pup always comes back happy and tired after their walks together. Thank you, Andrius, for being so great with him!”
