The Crate Escape - Naperville, Illinois

My dog, Chip, is often extremely wary of strangers and other dogs, but at The Crate Escape he is totally set at ease. He can be loud and difficult at times, but the staff is very supportive, patient, and helpful. Chip is always genuinely eager to enter the facility to see his human and furry friends! Sometimes Renee even sends photo/video updates and it’s awesome to see him happy and having fun.

I cannot say enough great things about The Crate Escape!

Fantastic staff and it’s such a wonderful space. Renee, Scott, and the other staff are amazing. They are so friendly, and they truly love your dog.

Thank you for all that you guys do and for providing such fantastic care!!!

I Cannot say enough Great things about this daycare! My puppy absolutely loves coming and is in love with the staff! They take such good care of her and send the cutest videos of her playing with her friends! Renee and her team are so kind, flexible, and responsive! I would highly recommend this daycare to everyone!!!!

Our pup always comes back tired but happy after a day at Crate Escape. The team clearly cares about the dogs under their watch, and I feel confident leaving our pup with them when needed.

This daycare will not take pit bulls because of an incident with someone else’s dog. They won’t even do an assessment with your pit, so don’t bother if you own one. Seems like a nice place but that’s always disappointing to find out.
My 70lb pit bull is nervous around big dogs & hides, but absolutely loves playing with small dogs as he usually does at daycare. I wanted to try a new daycare that offers more playtime outside of the kennel, but still couldn’t get an assessment due to someone else’s dog. It’s a shame this breed still gets discriminated against, because there are so many sweet ones that are not aggressive. Which is the whole point of an assessment anyway. I’ve paid $3200 in dog training and my dog is very well mannered & always passes assessment. He’s just afraid of big dogs.

Really great service for the dogs. Awesome owner! The dogs are always looked after. The multi day stays for the dogs are really good.

I boarded both of my Golden Retrievers at Crate Escape for 12 days. They were referred to me by staff at my vet office.

Renee and her staff were wonderful. They shared videos with me and updated how my dogs were doing.

It was great that while my dogs were boarded they also had doggy daycare.

I would highly recommend using Crate Escape for boarding and daycare!

My dog LOVES coming here! I have a 1.5 year old whippet mix, so she has lots of energy. Renee and her staff worked with my puppy the very first day to figure out which other dogs have similar play styles. She sent videos during the first day so I could rest assured my puppy was okay. I hear things about other daycares where dogs develop bad habits, but these guys reinforce good behavior. My puppy now has two "best friends" and she is so happy being there. I can't even tell you how beneficial this has been for my dog! (And me!)

I have been so grateful for the service I received from the Crate Escape owner, Renee. She helped me handle a family emergency by taking my dogs at the last minute (thank goodness they had room). She eases my concerns with photos and pictures of my puppies. No one likes to have board their dogs but Crate Escape has made it a very positive experience. And when I pick up the dogs they don't seem the least bit stressed. I'm so happy to have found them!
