Rex’s Place

I am forever grateful for Rex’s Place, the owner Kathy and the staff!
I recently moved from CA to Chicago — just me and my little pup. Milo went from living in a big house with my parents in California, spoiled with amazing weather, a large backyard and all… to a small 1 bedroom apartment here in Chicago. The first month was very difficult. I found Rex’s Place thru a neighbor of mine and boy am I ever glad I did. Milo goes to daycare about twice a week to play with all his doggy and human friends. Kathy and her staff have been wonderful with Milo. Milo is such a sweet loveable dog but does have a bit of barking problem and Kathy and her staff have been so patient and caring with him and me as well. They have gone out of their way to do what works for him. I love the report cards I get when I pick him up and he sleeps like a baby as soon as I bring him home.
I’m not one to typically write reviews but Milo is my little baby and Rex’s Place has done wonders for my anxiety as well as Milo’s in trying to adjust to a new city, a new state, and a new environment!
Kathy, Dana, Tobie, Cody, Matt, Jalen, Kristen, Bowie, Jenelle, Amira, Aaron, Morgan and Katherine… the entire staff, Thank you!

I am happy to write that I am very happy with Rex’s Place. Our dog Millie is very excited to go play her friends there once or twice a week. Kathy and her staff have been great and I feel very lucky we found them. I didn’t think I could replace our doggie daycare in the city, but I am very pleased to share that they are equally great. It is obvious they really care about the dogs that come to their business.

I have never had such a poor experience in my life! My dog had been going to Rex’s for several months and seemed to be doing fine. All of a sudden she starts coming home injured! I realize that dogs will play but the injuries were so severe that we ended up at the vets office. This happened on several occasions & I still have all the vet bills to prove it. The last time she went to Rex’s was the straw that broke the camels back. I went to pick her up and the young lady told me my dog had a «small scrape under her eye but they cleaned it. «My dog actually had a 1inch cut under her eye that required stitches!!! Needless to say we decided to not continue going to Rex’s place. I have contacted Kathy several times on their website asking for a refund of the 12 unused visit that we paid for. One month later she responded back to us saying that we would get a partial refund. We never received any sort of reimbursement for the remainder of the visits. If you love your precious dog as much as I do keep him/​her far away from this place. Poorly staffed and blatant mismanagement is no way to run a business. Kathy — you should be ashamed of yourself!

Kathy and her staff couldn’t be any nicer. Love this place. Took my dog Pain here for day care and he will back on Monday.
He was tired which is a good thing. Lots of energy this dog has. They texted me his progress and gave me his report card. They were very good with Pain and I could tellt that the other dogs there were happy too.
Having a dog walking service before, I could tell that these people knew what they are doing. I’m so happy I’m a client there.
Kathy, Brad and the rest of the staff at Rex’s Place will take good care of you.

We started bringing our dog to Rex’s Place for obedience training in mid-​2011 and immediately fell in love. The staff are friendly and take a genuine interest in the well-​being if our dog. The report card after every visit almost always gets a smile.

We’ve been bring our terrier mix Coby to Rex’s Place once or twice a week for a little over a year and he loves it. From his first day it was obvious Kathy and her staff treat your dog as one of their own. As their business began to grow I was worried that the personal care and attention for each dog might lessen, but the opposite has happened. Kathy has hired many new staff members to accommodate their growing business. Their facility is large and extremely clean! I would recommend Rex’s Place to any dog owner on the Northshore!

This place loses dogs and does not promptly notify the owners. Evanston should put them out of business. Disgrace!

I love Rex’s Place. Not only do I get a report card with a check off list of my dog’s behavior and poop production activities. Dog parents want to know that stuff. I also get a report of who their friends were and if they were naughty or nice. What I like about the Rex’s Place is that they are serious about cleanliness and making sure that my dog is safe. There’s lots of space for them to run around. I also get to see photos of the group of dogs playing that day on Facebook. I Love Rex’s Place… Safe, Clean and a great place to have my dog socialize and be supervised when I can’t be there.

Love this place! I brought my rat terrier mix here yesterday for her first time. I recieved an email during the day to let me know how she was doing and a report card when I picked her up that included potty information and who she played with. They really care about your dog here. They even post pictures and videos of the dogs playing on facebook which I couldn’t wait to share with everyone! Nell can’t wait for her next visit!!!

I am very careful about where my dog goes to daycare. I always do a lot of research beforehand. After moving to Evanston from NYC, I had a hard time finding a good place. Rex’s Place is dream come true: it’s clean, it’s spacious, and it has an awesome outside area. Also, the owner is one of the nicest daycare owners I’ve ever met and she really cares about the pups (and their owners). My «baby» loves to come here a lot.
