Fairmount Bark is the best. We started sending our high energy pup Charlie there when he was only about 6 months old and although he was a little anxious at first it VERY quickly became one of his favorite places. He's large and loves to play rough and there was actually an incident recently where he got bit and needed staples on his back. Meghan was quick to rush him to the vet she used to work at and they stapled and cleaned him up before we even got there. Although it's a shame this happened (it happens they're big dogs!), it was dealt with really well in my opinion. Since then, all the staff has been super accommodating in making sure Charlie gets breaks from the bigger play groups when he seems anxious at all. I am also about to give birth to our first baby and we don't have any family in the area to care for Charlie, so Fairmount Bark is being EXTREMELY accommodating and flexible in letting us drop him off when we need to go to the hospital. It gives me such peace of mind to know that we have a caring place to leave our dog during this time. We've also boarded him there multiple times for up to 8/9 days and he always comes home happy and tired. Thank you Fairmount Bark!

Our dogs love going to Fairmount Bark to play with all of their friends! They always come home exhausted at the end of the day. The staff are wonderful, we have entrusted them many times to take care of our dogs while we are away on vacation. It's a popular place, so overnight stays book up well in advance.

Fairmount Bark takes great care of our beloved Rosie. When things get crazy at our business, and no one in the family can give Rosie the kind of exercise and attention she needs, we drop her off for a day of doggy care and she loves it! Sometimes we schedule a grooming session, or just nail clipping, along with her day. The owners make it very easy, prices are fair, centrally located to most of the city and Northwestern suburbs...what else could you want?

Hands down the best boarding experience yet. I loved getting "pupdates" during his stay. Our dog is very anxious and it's nice to know he feels comfortable there while we are away. Dad even got a happy birthday message! They are very thoughtful and caring.

My dog Dougie loves Fairmount Bark. He comes home tired from playing with his dog friends and is well taken care of by staff. When I drop him off in the morning he pulls me to the door which tells me he has a lot of dog fun🐾Thank you Fairmont!

Our high energy pup Louie absolutely loves spending time at Fairmount Bark. He gets *very* excited when he senses he is going there to play for the day. To me, that is the ultimate way to know how much he loves it there. He has boarded there when we’ve been away for vacation, sometimes over 2 weeks. He is well cared for and we greatly appreciate the daily pupdates with pictures when we’re gone and missing him. The staff there are excellent - patient and definitely understand all things dog. These dog whisperers even manage to trim his nails, amazingly. When we get Louie at the end of the day, he is happy and tired, which is quite a feat for him. Michelle and Megan definitely make sure all pups are up to date on all of their shots, which I appreciate tremendously. The well-being of all the pups in their care is paramount. We and Louie give Fairmount Bark 2 thumbs and 4 paws up!
