Chicago Adventure Pack is truly a unique doggy daycare experience. As an owner to a dog that isn't super social, I was so grateful to find Jared and the pack. It allows my dog, Rico, to get as much social time as he chooses while being outside and getting in sniffs, lots of miles, and the freedom to explore. It's…

Annie was the best! Took such great care of our pup, sent us lots of updates, and made him feel at home!
Lulu absolutely loves her weekly adventure days with Jared and the rest of the pack! Lulu is an Australian Shepherd who requires a lot of exercise and attention, and Jared gives her just that.
Every adventure day, Jared takes the time to keep the group updated on what the dogs have been up to and sends plenty of photos along the way. He takes such great care of them, and if needed, even cleans them up before dropping them home, which is very appreciated after a particularly muddy adventure!
Lulu always comes home happy and exhausted, which is exactly what we want! We feel completely comfortable knowing she’s in Jared’s care and couldn’t recommend his adventure days enough.

Chicago Adventure Pack is truly a unique doggy daycare experience. As an owner to a dog that isn't super social, I was so grateful to find Jared and the pack. It allows my dog, Rico, to get as much social time as he chooses while being outside and getting in sniffs, lots of miles, and the freedom to explore. It's the perfect way to tire him out when I have to be in the office all day and have evening plans so I know that he'll be exhausted and just want to snooze when he comes home. It makes me happy knowing that he's getting the proper enrichment without him having to feel overwhelmed. It also keeps him fit and provides a good change of scenery for a dog that often just wants to be a couch potato. The adventure pack pricing is great, and Jared keeps you updated throughout the day. The videos of all the dogs bring such joy and really take you along for the ride.

James Kunzler4 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews James has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
We’ve had such a great experience with Jared and his all-day adventure walks! Our dog absolutely loves his days with him. He always comes home happy, tired, and goes straight to the couch for a well-earned nap.
One of the things we appreciate most is the smaller group setting compared to a traditional daycare. The dogs get to spend the entire day outside exploring, playing, and enjoying adventures instead of being indoors most of the time. It’s clear our dog gets both great exercise and enrichment. He also sends video updates throughout the day which always brings a smile when watching them from work.
Another thing we’ve really appreciated is that Jared has rinsed our dog off after muddy/beach days when we’re not home to meet them. It’s such a thoughtful touch and makes coming home to a happy (and mostly sand-free!) dog even better.
We highly recommend Jared to anyone looking for a fun, active, and personalized experience for their dog. It’s been a wonderful alternative to daycare, and we couldn’t be happier!

We have been sending our 7 month old pup, Lincoln, with Jared for about 2 months now on an adventure day once a week. He absolutely adores Jared, the pack, and all the adventures they go on. From pick up to drop off, Lincoln is always so excited and i can tell each time he comes home that he’s had a great day. He even learned to swim with the pack. I love receiving constant updates and pictures of Lincoln and the pack. Couldn’t recommend adventure days and Jared more and know Lincoln and the pups are in great hands.

Jared is great! Our dog, Arlo, seems to love him and we are so grateful for his adventure days. We call it the "Jared effect" when she comes home from a whole day with him and is exhausted. He's easy to communicate with, keeps us updated on Arlo throughout the day, and his services are reasonably priced for what we get: a happy dog!
We were previously sending her to an indoor daycare, which she really seemed to dislike so we are so glad that we found Jared.

Faylyn Kaufman8 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Faylyn has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Jared’s Dog Adventures has been amazing for our pup! Our one-year-old, Remi (schnoodle), absolutely loves her adventure days. Jared picks the dogs up in his van and takes them on the best outings—she gets to run, play, and socialize with all kinds of dogs, which has been incredible for her energy and happiness.
What really stands out is how much care Jared puts into everything. If Remi gets dirty (which she often does after a full day of fun), he makes sure she’s cleaned up before bringing her home. It’s such a thoughtful touch and makes a huge difference.
Jared is kind, passionate, and incredibly organized—you can tell he genuinely loves animals and treats every dog like his own. We feel completely comfortable and grateful knowing Remi is in such good hands. Highly recommend!
