Second time using Katrina and she did an amazing job as always!

If you are hesitant about booking Katrina, don t be! She is very friendly, punctual and you can tell she is an animal lover. Katrina kept us updated with videos which made us feel better about being away from our dog for 3 nights. Thank you Katrina for taking care of Cubby so well!

So thankful as ever for Jazzlyn. She was very attentive and caring for my Bent Bent. I know he can have a lot personality, but she knew how to cope with him. She sent a lot of pictures and videos which warmed my heart. Will definitely recommend her and love to use her again when able.

Very happy Katrina reached out about taking care of a family dog when we were in a pinch during Thanksgiving. Will definitely book her again if we need care!

Highly recommend! I had to leave town for an emergency and literally found Jospeh the day of needing to have my Saw boarded for 3 nights. The process was seamless and I received plenty of updates and pictures daily. Thank you Joe!!!

Fall Color Walk
The city of Chicago Heights hosts a few fall color walks during autumn. This is a great way to get outside with friends, family, and of course, your dog! You can hike the trails with a group of people and enjoy all of the gorgeous fall colors the city has to offer. This makes for a fun way to get outdoors with your pup for a bit of playing and exercise! Make sure your dog is leashed, non-aggressive and does okay with groups of people.24

Taking place a bit outside of Chicago Heights, Pet Fest is a huge festival, especially for dogs! There is a charity dog wash to clean up your pup, dog obstacle course, paw painting, pet retail shopping, doggie bandana making, and so much more! Your pooch will think they are in the most special place on Earth. All proceeds go to Alive Rescue and One Tail at a Time and people who donate will get a special goodie bag filled with treats for humans and dogs.12

If you want a great, annual Halloween event to attend with your special fur buddy, check out the Spooky Pooch Parade! The event takes place in October at the Chicago Botanic Gardens.
