They LOVE their pups

by Christy Howell at Citysearch

There is nowhere else in the city that we would send our dog Burnie; he is visibly ecstatic the two days a week he goes to day care and is exhausted when he comes home.

They are flexible, kind, engaged and it is obvious that their #1 priority over anything is the hapiness and well being of the dogs in their care.

Additionally, living downtown, we don't have a car, so the door-to-door pick up and drop off has been a life saver for us.

Thanks to Bridgid and everyone at Unleashed!!

  • Pros: love for dogs, taxi service, flexibility, great facility

We love Unleashed!

by eminchicago at Citysearch

I would give Unleashed 10 stars if I could - they have been so great for our pup! We found them when we attended Curtis Scott's fantastic obedience class at their facility, and we have not looked back since. Their facility is beautiful, big, and well-equipped for the varying needs of lots of pups, and it is always clean and ready for lots of doggy play. The daycare employees get really excited whenever they see our pup, and especially during our dog's first few visits to Unleashed, Bridgid (the owner) sent photos and updates throughout the day so that we knew our gal was doing well and playing happily. The online system makes it a breeze to schedule daycare and Bridgid has been extremely accommodating when it comes to last-minute changes. Bridgid also sends out info about fun pup-related events in the area and keeps us up to date with any happenings at Unleashed, too. But most importantly, she and all the staff love our dog and welcome her with petting and smiles for a day of fun each and every time we drop her off. The staff seems to really understand that every dog has different needs and personalities, and they seem well prepared for every situation. We're so grateful to have a place where our pup feels comfortable and has a blast, and where we know they take care with their treatment of the dogs and facilitation of all of their services. Thanks, Unleashed!

  • Pros: Best doggy daycare in town!

Amazing Doggie Day in Chicago

by VickyR at Citysearch

I recently decided to send my dog Izzy to doggie day care (best decision ever by the way!), but was concerned because I've boarded her at a couple places around town in the past, and have never been that impressed. Is clean, friendly and reasonably priced too much to ask?

I was so relieved when I called Unleashed and spoke directly with Bridgid the owner. Just from our initial conversation I knew I had found exactly what I was looking for. Bridgid goes out of her way for both the dogs and their owners. She is extremely kind, very flexible and it's obvious that she is truly in it for the dogs, not the profit.

I can't say enough good things about Bridgid and Unleashed. You won't be disappointed.

  • Pros: Pros: Service is Phenomenal
  • Cons: Cons: No outdoor space

Nice place but has no yard

by RomanoC at Citysearch

I don't want my dogs peeing and pooping indoors on a floor because they might do the same thing once they get home. It was nice and was quiet inside and not busy. I do not like the fact that dogs have to go to the bathroom right inside the place. That is kind of gross, that is a drawback would also be bad in summer they don't get any sunshine or fresh air I brought to Tucker Pups instead for the outdoor play

  • Pros: Spacious, big pens
  • Cons: Dogs have to go bathroom on the floor
