Your dogs home away from home!. Mutt Hutt is amazing! We thankfully stumbled into it last year when we needed a place for our dog then 13 years to stay at for almost 8 weeks while we traveled to Egypt to visit family. My daughter and I walked into the place and everyone was caring and friendly and eager to learn about our dear dog. They took wonderful care of him , he lived in an apartment above the shop in the evening, played with a variety of dogs during the day , napped at rest time . WHat more could anyone want...ANd they sent us email updates on about Samir and photos too since we could not get acess to the webcam. When we returned Samir was happy and healthy! We then brought him back @ three weeks later..all the staff were thrilled to have him back but the most comforting thing was Samir pulled his way into MuttHutt and eagerly enterd and easily left our site. He was back at his second home! We call it Camp! Samir has been luck to go to Mutt Hutt many times since last year sometimes for a short 2 day visit or for a week. Everyone knows him and we feel happy they understand his weird eating habits, recognize his bed and we know the friendly caring staff. I have recommened MuttHutt to many and all are pleased! Don't hesitate Call!

Mutt Hutt - What a wonderful place!. I found Mutt Hutt about 6 months ago, after having a dog walker who was not very responsible or dependable to walk my 3 month old puppy - who had a broken leg. After getting in touch with Mutt Hutt, and letting them know about my circumstances, the owner called me back and said she would personally take care of Maxx. Because Maxx could not walk at the time, she would carry him to and from a dog run and then play with him in my home. At the end of every day, I would find a wonderful note letting me know how Maxx was doing - with lots of details. Once the cast and brace were removed, Maxx really has had a wonderful time walking the neighborhood, playing with other dogs and still I get this great note at the end of the day - knowing exactly what he did and who he saw on his walks. To add variety, Mutt Hutt has a great dog day care service. I know that while Maxx is there he is having a great time, playing with all the dogs, and watched with loving care by the Mutt Hutt Team. As an added treat, Mutt Hutt has opened a store right next door, where you can purchase dog and cat food - with special diets, toys, clothing, accessories, whatever your pets needs are and with a staff that is extremely knowledgable and friendly. Mutt Hutt is a diamond in the "ruff" find!!!!!!!

The Best Cat Sitters Ever! Ever!!!. I've used their cat sitting service since they opened for spans of 4 days to three weeks. Sometimes one of our cats would require medication. They have always been superb. They feed and change the water, clean the cat box, pill the cats and play with them. Charming and extensive notes document every visit. Once, the lock on our front door was broken (it just spun around and around) - they called me on my cell in Africa, got approval to hire a locksmith to fix the lock and everything was fine. I could not ask for better service, and recommend them without reservation.

Kind and caring staff. We recently boarded our puppy at Hutt Mutt based on a referral from when we adopted her. Since she was new to us we were nervous to leave her. The staff was very kind and caring when we made the reservation and dropped her off. Our puppy was so excited to play with all the other dogs she probably didn't even miss us =( I would highly recommend using Mutt Hutt for day care or boarding. It is obvious that the staff loves dogs!

Your dog will LOVE it here!!. I have nothing but good things to say about Mutt Hutt, including Donna, the owner, and the rest of the caring staff. My husband and I adopted our pup after he had been rescued from a puppy mill that was raided and shut down by the authorities. He had been badly mistreated by the wretched owner of the puppy mill. Needless to say?he had some issues. Donna, the owner of Mutt Hutt, knows a LOT about dogs, and made room for him at Mutt Hutt immediately. I would also like to mention that she fosters several dogs at Mutt Hutt until they can find a permanent home, so it?s clear that she really cares.

The whole staff has been so great with our pup and really helped to socialize him and make him happy. And he LOVES the Mutt Hutt! When we drop him off, his tail is wagging so hard his whole butt shakes!

We also use Mutt Hutt for dogwalking. I found their rates to be better than many other places, and Matt and Rebecca are so great with our pup. He can be very resistant and downright stubborn, but they have shown tremendous patience and love towards him.

Lastly, as if our poor pup hasn?t had a hard enough life, he has seizures. When his condition first developed, I called Donna to inform her of the situation. She held a staff meeting to make sure everyone knew about his condition, which I thought was just wonderful and made me feel so much better. Our pup has also stayed overnight with Donna at her house for personalized boarding when we were out of town, so I knew that he would receive his medication on time. She was so understanding, especially when I called multiple times a day to check up ;)

In summary, great daycare facility, caring and knowledgeable staff, wonderful dogwalkers?your dog will love it there!!!

Great Personal Attention and Caring Staff. I have been taking my dog Maximus to Mutt Hutt for over a year now and have nothing but great experiences. I am always greeted with a smile, and the personal attention and care that is given by all staff members is unmatched. You can really tell everyone that works there loves the dogs and the dogs love them.

My dog has SEVERE separation anxiety that I thought had no solution. I can't leave him at home alone because he destroys my place. I was to the point where I thought I would have to find him a new home because nothing was working. When he first started going to Mutt Hutt he would pull at his leash and cry, trying with all his might to stay by my side. Now he sprints into the facitlity when I hand the leash over to the staff member that greets me at the door. I never thought that could happen but with the help of the Mutt Hutt staff and owners it finally did.

I would highly recommend using Mutt Hutt for your next day care or boarding!

BEST PET CARE EVER!!!!!!. This staff really loves and cares for pets. I have a small dog that has separation anxiety, so getting him to stay somewhere without me was impossible. He loves it here! All of the staff members know him by name, and he gets so excited to see them (kissing & wagging his tail)! I had tried other day care facilities in the past and have had some rather unpleasant experiences. So, I had become extremely cautious. Now, I have found a place that I trust 100%. Donna, Corey, & Cassie keep a close eye on my pet so that I can relax knowing that he is in good hands. There is a back area for dogs to play & a front area for those that are smaller or inactive. Plus, now my dog comes home & doesn't make a mad dash to his water bowl-so I know they are keeping him well hydrated (unlike other places). Recently my little guy had to have surgery & I was afraid that because of his new impairments he would be too much trouble for day care. Not True. "It's what we do" was Donna's reply. And believe me-they do it so very well! **My Highest Recommendation**

The best of the best!. I LOVE MUTT HUTT! They are truly amazing. The entire staff is thoughtful and truly love dogs. My dog is extremely anxious and anti-social so boarding and daycare can be stressful for everyone, but she loves Mutt Hutt and they love her. The first time I boarded her, they offered a free day of daycare so my dog could experience being dropped off and picked up before I left for my trip. Their trainer, Tillman, is also amazing and very talented. He has helped my dog enormously to become less aggressive towards other dogs and has worked with me to continue training. Trust me, I've paid the extra $$ for Pooch Hotel and my dog came a home a nervous wreck for two weeks. Mutt Hutt really cares for their dogs and treats them like their own. When my dog is at Mutt Hutt I never worry because I trust them entirely and that kind of peace of mind is invaluable.

Wonderful Care!!!. I have 2 english bulldogs a puppy who is very active and an older dog who is shy and not very social with other dogs. I have been so scared to board my dogs in the past as they need specialized care. Donna and Corey have been so wonderful from the day I first started bringing my dogs to the Mutt Hutt They let Daisy (the older one) lounge watch TV and hang out with the old bitties (even letting her sleep in the apartment above the kennel) while Chunk gets to play with other dogs. Chunk being a puppy can be nudgy with other dogs and they put him in a play group that fits his energy leve and personality! I would highly recommend the Mutt Hutt. It is a small homey place where the dogs get lots of attention and everybody knows their names when you walk in the door!!!!

The Bestest Doggy Daycare Ever. Mutt Hutt is great! I had been taking my pup to a swanky, high-end Lincoln Park daycare facility before I found Mutt Hutt. He had only been at the LP facility about 12 times but had contracted parasites twice as well as severe bronchitis while there. After that traumatizing and extremely upsetting experience, I found Mutt Hutt and my pup and I have been very happy ever since. I've been very pleased and feel totally comfortable with having him there every day during the week. The staff is fabulous and so friendly, and they are always able to tell me in great detail what my pup was up to each day. They also have a great option for overnight boarding where one of the staff members will take your pup home with them at the end of each day. I wish that most daycare facilities in the city were more like Mutt Hutt, but it seems that even the pricey, high-end ones are not. Unfortunately, I had to learn this the hard way but I guess my horrible experience at the LP facility helps me appreciate the Mutt Hutt even more. Wally dog says, "Thanks guys!"
