Pet Care Plus is a short run south-west of Goose Island, at 350 N. Laflin St., where the same family has cared for dogs since 1998 in a building put up for animals.
It is barely a journey — across the river and west. Private climate-controlled suites, a team on-site 24/7/365, five independent air-handling systems, and our own parking lot at the door.
One location, one team, since 1998. The people who greet your dog at drop-off are the people who are there overnight.
The resort at 350 N. Laflin St. was purpose-built rather than converted. It has five air-handling systems, spacious private suites, and a 15,000-gallon in-ground heated saltwater outdoor pool. Goose Island is industrial in character, and the dogs living in its newer buildings have very little grass within walking distance. The open run and the pool are the parts of a stay that this pocket of the city genuinely cannot offer at home.
Take the Virtual TourWe do not over-schedule boarding dogs. Dogs in our care have structured activity and real wind-down time, because an anxious, depleted dog at pick-up was not cared for, just occupied. Our team knows the difference between a quiet dog who is content and one who needs attention.
Explore Our Approach
Current Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccinations are required, along with a negative fecal result from the last six months. Most Chicago veterinary practices will send records directly — worth requesting about a week ahead so nothing delays drop-off. We would also rather meet your dog before an overnight stay.
