Barkside of the Moon

My chill old dog loves coming here sleeping on the couch listening to classic rock with Jeff. Great rates, no frills. Perfect place for chill dogs.

I took my dog Bjaki to Bark Side of the Moon for years at their old location (Clark St - across from Jewel). Bjarki was a rescue with severe separation anxiety because as a puppy (4 mo) she was abandon in her home, tied to the banister with no food or water for many days before being discovered. I needed a place she would feel safe while I was at work. I tried a handful of Doggy Day Cares, most of where dogs were crated. Being high anxiety and a Houdini, she escaped most confinements, then I found Jeff. He was very caring and after a few visits to Bark Side, she was absolutely at home relaxing to Jeff playing the guitar and having her own lounge space on a comfy chair or couch. enjoying him and the company of the other dogs. I have to share a story with you. One morning I was dropping off

Jeff is a great person. He goes above and beyond to make the dogs feel safe and happy. He has cared for my dogs for over 20 years and they love Jeff. He doesn’t crate them, they feel like they are away at “camp” listening to the guitar and lounging on the many sofas.

Jeff is an exceptional dog carer. He wasn't answering the phone because the city of Chicago suddenly decided he needed a special license for his business in that location. After many months of bureaucracy and lawyers fees he is finally back in business. We have been taking our dogs to Barkside for years. They have always been happy there and Jeff is always a consummate professional.

We always leave our beagle with Jeff when we are out of town, although we live on the south side of the city and getting to Andersonville is a trek. We love the fact that she is not caged, can lounge on a couch, and goes to walks four times a day. We never got a call when we were away and always found her happy and healthy. We trust Jeff.
