Pet Boarding Training near Evanston

“My dog loves this place and the staff. Every time we pull into the parking lot and he hears the other dogs barking, my little 12 pound buddy becomes a sled dog and pulls me to the front door in anticipation of playing with the other dogs.“

“Josie LOVES sit social and we absolutely love to bring her here because we can tell how happy and excited she gets when we arrive just at the door. Once we walk inside, she forgets about me and dashes into the room! The people who work here are really sweet and kind, making it trustworthy for us to bring Josie here. We love receiving the pup updates during Josie’s stay here and seeing the cutest photos! I’ve done a ton of research before selecting a daycare to bring Josie to and this place definitely gave me a sense a relief. Thank you Sit Social for loving Josie as much as we do.“

“I can’t say enough great things about Bow Wow Behavioral! I've done board & train and in home training and the progress George has made since starting with them has been incredible—he’s calmer, listens so much better, and our walks are actually enjoyable now. Ty, Kyle, and Laura are true pros who clearly love what they do. They take the time to explain things, tailor their approach to each dog, and celebrate every little win along the way. It’s been such a rewarding experience watching George grow with their guidance. If you’re looking for a team that’s knowledgeable, kind, and truly committed to helping dogs and their owners succeed, Bow Wow Behavioral is the one to call.“

“We’ve learned so much from Kim about how to improve obedience with our dog, Penny, along with ways to stimulate her mind as an active herding dog mix. We took her group basic obedience class, which helped Penny practice her listening skills with distractions, and Kim has been very generous with her time, helping us troubleshoot issues even years after we took her class.“

“I had a hard time finding the right hotel for my 15-month-old American bully, I didn't feel I can trust anyone with my dog, he was never left with anyone before, he is full of energy and he's not neutered. After Contacting Magdalena we set up Playdates so she can meet my baby doggie. She fell in love with my Dragon! After leaving Dragon I cannot explain how happy, peaceful and comfortable I was leaving my Dragon with Dzika dog academy I was receiving daily updates and pictures, which made me feel comfortable! Magdalena is awesome guys! She is full off energy, she loves animals and she is the only one who I trust with my dog now!!! If I could give her million stars I would, trust me she deserved!!!!“

“My place to go for all my cat's needs! No problem to find all the products! Professional service and good price“

“My two dogs love their time at western wag! They evaluate the dogs for temperament and split them into different play groups, I love seeing them posted on their instagram, and they always come back soooo tired and calm. Works really well with my work schedule and they’re very flexible with drop off and pick up and booking is so easy.“

“I recently took my dog, Steffy, to SBK Dog Club, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive.

The grooming itself was top-notch, Steffy came out looking clean, well-trimmed, and smelled great! I also appreciated the detailed report they gave me about her behavior and any issues they noticed during grooming.

I highly recommend SBK Dog Club to any pet owner looking for a reliable and caring grooming service. We will definitely be returning!“

“This is the first class we have taken at Paws Chicago Training Center it is a great facility and our instructor is great! We are taking the AKC Canine Good Citizen Class“

“I've been taking my 20lb golden doodle to Liz at House of Paws since 2021 and have only had positive experiences! My dog always comes back looking great after grooming, and she loves going for daycare too. Good prices and great customer service, and a super easy website to schedule appointments. Thanks Liz and Eli for taking such great care of Winnie!“

“My wife and I have been coming to Companion Animal Hospital of Norridge for years. Christie and Dr. Anderson are always kind with our dogs.“

“My puppy recently finished the 12-week Pup Start Plus program, and I couldn’t be happier. The trainers are patient and knowledgeable, my pup gained great socialization and training skills, and the option to board with a trainer has been a game changer.“

“I have taken my dog to Higgins for a few years, my gf from Roscoe Village had referred me to Higgins Vet.
Everyone there was so attentive and nice, the receptionists were always so cordial and always called me back promptly.
During Covid the operations changed and it was absolutely fine, we parked in the back at their designated lot and called in and someone came to see and pick up our dog to take it to a consultation while we waited.
Thank you for being the best vets in town!“

“The entire staff is warm, compassionate and patient. Dr. Stewart pays attention to every detail, thinks quickly and is committed to exceptional care. She has proven to be an excellent listener and communicator, empathetic, adaptable and reliable.“

“Dr. Boin is conscientious with seasoned expertise and his staff are kind and detail oriented with clear attention to protocols. We had a recent scare with our dog and potential bladder cancer that was flagged after we took her to vist VEG on North Avenue for emergency care(urine in blood). The recommended follow-up urine test CADEF BRAF was botched by Old Town Animal Care who mishandle the sample and rendered it unreadable by the Lab; VEG stated incorrectly that they do conduct the test only to take our sample and tell us they did not have the relationship with the Lab. It was a stressful nightmare. Near North facilitated the urine test within a day(with detailed protocols for us) and we got the results within 2 days(not 2 weeks) -the follow-up ultrasound was scheduled within days and the results provided immediately after by Dr. Boin. Dr. Boin called numerous times to speak to me personally before and after the diagnosis. As a Behavioral Health Scientist, clinical professor and animal rights activists I have been alarmed at the lack of clear communication and attention to protocols we experienced elsewhere(e.g. sending us the health history of another dog with the same name; mishandling a urine sample, missing the signs of a ACL tear and taking only X-rays of hips, etc.). Animals do not speak our language and like pre-verbal children are dependent on humans. It is our responsibility to advocate for their care and safety. Dr. Boin explains in detail and compassionate candor that only comes with seasoned expertise. We are grateful for him and his staff and we know our pup is in safe hands there. Dr. Eva Mika, Ph.D. PMP“

“Dr Park and his staff are excellent. I've been taking all my pets to Dr Park for the last 15yrs.“

“Love VCA Cat Hospital of Chicago. Dr. Thompson is extremely caring and is always looking into new research for our cat Blue. The clinic is always great with sharing documentation with his speciality providers and we feel like the clinic has definitely helped with Blue’s longevity and quality of life. We appreciate everything they do.“

“The vet was very kind and professional. He treated my golden retriever's emergency. Today he is improving thanks to his care. I recommend him ?“
