Loving Care By Carlos & Rene - Northfield, Illinois

I recently took my 2-year-old Shih Tzu, Lily, to Loving Care for the first time, and I have to say, I’m beyond impressed! As a very particular and demanding client, it’s not easy to meet my expectations, but they absolutely nailed it. Lily came out looking like a true blonde princess—perfectly groomed and radiant.

What stood out most to me was that Lily didn’t seem stressed or traumatized at all, which is so important when it comes to pet care. The staff clearly knows how to handle pets with love and care, making the experience comfortable for both of us.

I’m so happy I found this place, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves their pet as much as I do!

Loving Care by Carlos & Rene offers exceptional pet grooming and training services. Their professional groomers ensure a stress-free experience, using high-quality, hypoallergenic products tailored to each pet's needs. We consistently praise the team for their courteous, timely, and accommodating service, as our dog always returns looking great and happy!

Certified dog trainer Carlos Almazo provides personalized training sessions, effectively addressing behavioral issues through reinforcement techniques. The facility also features a well-curated pet boutique, offering top-quality products for your loyal companions.

And if you need somebody to watch your dog while on vacation, they have a state of the art doggy day care facility in Chicago. To be honest, we don't trust our dog with anyone else.

So if you are in the market for grooming, training or room and board, you have come to the right place for all of your pet's needs. I highly recommend Carlos and Rene as I know they will treat your pet as one of their own!

Best grooming place in North shore area. We are very lucky to have them in our life for more than 9 years. When we first got our little Yorkshire terrier we tried many places and sadly we were very disappointed . After the first visit at Loving Care and meeting Carlos, Rene and their staff we new that we don’t need to look any further. They are very friendly and always accommodate all are needs.
Our beautiful boy always gets lots of compliments about his haircut.
We always recommend Loving Care to all our friends and neighbors.

Loving Care by Carlos & Rene has been an absolute gift in my life! There aren’t enough positive words I can use to describe them. I have been searching for years to find a groomer for my Afghan, in or near the city (of Chicago). One day...they popped up in my quest for a groomer specifically for Afghans, which is near impossible to find. (Carlos happens to own a beautiful Afghan himself.) Carlos & Rene are wonderful people, who run a great business with a beautiful groom shop. (They will also board.) I feel comfortable with my dog in their care. They do an absolutely beautiful job grooming my Afghan’s coat. Additionally, I have seen the finished product on many breeds/dogs...big to small. They’re all clipped & groomed adorably.

I am extremely particular about my dogs grooming & to whom I entrust the care of my sweet boy, Caviar. Do not hesitate to contact Carlos & Rene. You will not be disappointed...they’re awesome!! As a bonus, they are conveniently located off I-94 and right next to Starbucks! What more can a girl ask for?!? 🙂

We absolutely LOVE Loving care!! We’ve been taking our golden doodle Wilson there for 6 years and also bought our Yorkie from them as well. They do a fantastic job with grooming our 100 pound GD. He has a massive amount of hair and he looks beautiful every time I pick him up. Wilson and Diggs are always very excited to go to Loving Care so I know they take good care of my pups.

Our experience with Loving Care By Carlos & Rene has been nothing short of exceptional. Loving Care By Carlos & Rene’s team has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. They take the time to listen to our preferences and concerns, and their genuine interest in our pet's well-being shines through. The scheduling process is seamless, and they are accommodating when we need to make adjustments. Additionally, they provide valuable grooming tips and suggestions to maintain our dog's coat between appointments.

We wholeheartedly recommend them to any pet owner seeking top-notch grooming services and a truly wonderful experience for their furry companion. Our four-legged friend always leaves the salon with a wagging tail and a happy heart, and that is the best endorsement of all.

We have bringing Blossom my Bernadoodle here since she was a puppy 2 years ago. She always comes back happy and looking beautiful. They take care to listen to your grooming instructions, and she always smells amazing! The drop off daycare is an incredible resource as a pet parent. Blossom loves to hang out for the day and play. Everyone who works there is lovely. We have also had several boarding trips with them, again, Blossom came back happy and healthy. They have a lovely facility where dogs are safe, but can socialise. Highly recommend!!!!!

Loving Care has been taking care of our goldendoodle and schnoodle’s grooming and boarding needs for over 7 years. Our girls love Carlos and Rene and their beautiful puppy spa and resort. They are always excited to get out of the car when we drive up. The service is always amazing. You can tell everyone there loves their job and the animals they work with. I highly recommend Loving Care for all of your grooming needs!
