Fetch! Pet Care

Great people, very flexible, reasonable price. Joe (the owner) is very passionate about animals and goes above and beyond for his pet parents !

We really love having fetch pet care to walk our dogs. When we first contacted them we were really impressed by how quickly they emailed us back, within a couple hours! Every time I have emailed them I get a response in about an hour, it’s amazing. That afternoon they came by to meet the dogs and introduce us to our walker, Katie. We have two pit bull mixes and they love walking with Katie! I can’t say enough about how helpful and flexible they are with us. Joe and Katie are wonderful, we highly recommend their services!

If you know anything about me, then you know my dog has a mild case of the crazies. He’s a cute little dude who loathes other canines. And while he likes most people, he gets a little weird/​protective at times. But we love him just he same. Thus, when we have to head out of town can’t take him with us, Fetch Pet Care is pretty clutch.
Joe, the owner of Fetch Schaumburg, is super responsive to our needs while we’re away. He’s scheduled Clare, our dog Riley’s new BFF. Clare comes over to the house to let Riley out, refresh his food/​water and generally just hang out. She’s also nice enough to send texts with updates as to how he’s doing and any other items that need attention (brought in a package from the front steps, let us know about a beeping battery in a smoke alarm, etc). Plus, there are tons of options ranging from potty breaks to walks to overnight stays. Overall, I’d say pricing is comparable to a mid-​range/​higher end pet daycare/​boarding facility.
I trust these (insured and bonded!) folks with my crazy little dog… and I’ll certainly use them in the future, too!

5 Stars, 5 Stars, 5 Stars!
I’ve been using Fetch for about 3 and half years now. When I started with them, I lived in a condo with a large dog and nowhere to run off leash. Now I’m in a house with 3 dogs and a fenced yard.
First and foremost, the Fetch sitters are fantastic. We normally have a weekly sitter M-​Th and another on Fridays. Our main sitter has been with us the entire time and has great knowledge of special needs dogs and working with them. Our Friday sitter is a Vet Tech and is also fantastic. My one dog is on lots of meds and having two main sitters that understand the medications, know what they are and when to use them is just priceless. Not to mention, my dogs love them. We’re talking «out of control butt wiggling» love them!
We also have a separate sitter for overnights and she is fantastic as well. My travel for work is just crazy and unfortunately happens at the last minute most of the time. She is always there, does a great job and keeps the routine normal for them as possible. Not to mention, she’s pretty good at handling my crazy 1 yr old, pretty energetic and smart 3 year old and a smart, fast 8 year old pups.
Prior to fetch we used friends and a daycare service at our former training center. Using friends was not a smart idea and the daycare got expensive between driving and the daily fees. I began looking and interviewed some other services and was not really impressed. I had one call with Joe at Fetch, and then an initial visit with him and our sitter and was sold.
I’ve also used Fetch for transports to and from the vet or the hospital. I have a special needs dog and a hectic work schedule. Unfortunately her needs don’t always pop up at the most convenient of times or times when I can keep taking off work more than I already do for her. Their transports are wonderful, timely and also reasonably priced. They really do help in a pinch and put me at ease when things get crazy.
All Fetch pet sitters are licensed, bonded and insured. They go through a lengthly training and evaluation period before they have their «own clients». Not all services do this and it was something that was very important for me. Their fees are very reasonable and they do everything they can to work with you and your schedule. They excel with dogs that may have some medical issues as well as those that just need a good olé stretch of the legs.
Their visits are normally at the same times each day, and if they are running late, early or need to possibly switch the route up, let call you first. Dependability is huge — and you’ll never have an issue with Fetch. In the beginning we got report cards and notes after each visit, now we get text messages and pictures. They’ve also picked up all those yucky things that happen when pups don’t feel well, let me know if a window was open or door unlocked and also gotten in touch with me when a pup was ill or acting funny. Believe me, with my three, anything (presents) can happen.
I would recommend Fetch in a heartbeat. If you are looking for a dependable, professional service to care for your four legged family members, this is the best service available hands down.
