Dog Boarding for La Grange — Fifteen Miles, and a Reason to Drive Them

Pet Care Plus is not in La Grange. We are at one address in Chicago’s West Loop, where the same family has cared for dogs since 1998, in a facility built for animals from the ground up.

Fifteen miles is a real drive, and we would rather be straight about that than pretend otherwise. What families from La Grange come for is a single purpose-built resort: private climate-controlled suites, a team on-site 24/7/365, five independent air-handling systems, and our own parking lot.

Dog boarding starts at only $69.95 per night plus your choice of activity package. New clients receive their first night free when mentioning this page.

The Drive from La Grange

Distance: roughly fifteen miles from La Grange to 350 N. Laflin St.
Route: Ogden Avenue or I-294 to I-290 east, exiting at Racine Avenue.
Timing: about 30 minutes outside peak hours.
Parking: on-site parking at the facility for drop-off and pick-up.
Pet Taxi: available as a named service; call to confirm coverage for your address.
Transit: the BNSF line runs La Grange to Union Station, a short distance from the resort, though most families drive.
Hours: drop-off and pick-up from 6:45am weekdays, with extended hours available.

One location, one team, since 1998. The people who greet your dog at drop-off are the people who are there overnight.

Built From the Ground Up for Animals

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. La Grange dogs generally have space at home, so a boarding stay that is mostly crate time is a step down for them. The open run, the 15,000-gallon heated saltwater pool and structured play exist so that the stay is not simply somewhere to wait — and the quiet suites exist so it is somewhere to sleep.

Rest Is Part of the Stay

We 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.

Before Your First Stay

Current Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccinations are required, along with a negative fecal result from the last six months. Most La Grange 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.

La Grange Boarding FAQs

Does Pet Care Plus have a location in La Grange?

No. One address, in Chicago’s West Loop, since 1998. The team that greets your dog at drop-off is the team on site overnight, which is difficult to arrange across multiple sites.

How far is the resort from La Grange?

Roughly fifteen miles, or about 30 minutes outside peak hours, via Ogden Avenue or I-294 across to I-290 and off at Racine Avenue. We have our own parking lot, so the final stretch is straightforward.

Do you offer anything that makes a longer drive worthwhile?

For most La Grange families it comes down to three things they cannot get closer to home: private climate-controlled suites rather than runs, genuine 24/7/365 staffing, and a purpose-built building with five air-handling systems. Book a tour and see whether that is worth the drive for your dog.

What vaccinations are required for boarding?

Pet Care Plus requires proof of current Rabies, the distemper combination (DHPP), and Bordetella vaccinations, along with a negative fecal result from the last six months. Pet Care Plus requires vaccination records; it does not administer vaccines.

How much does dog boarding cost?

Dog boarding starts at $69.95 per night plus your choice of activity package. Multiple suite sizes are available for dogs of all sizes and for multi-dog families, so call for a quote on your specific dates.

Is the facility supervised overnight?

Yes. Pet Care Plus is staffed 24/7/365, so pets at the resort are never left alone — overnight, on weekends, or over holidays.

What if my dog prefers quieter care?

Dogs stay in spacious, private, climate-controlled suites, and individual and special-care options are available for dogs that prefer a quieter approach. Mention it on your tour and the team will plan around it.

How do you care for senior dogs?

Senior care can include reduced stimulation, softer handling, and attentive observation. Our team recognizes when a dog needs rest or may need to see a veterinarian. Pet Care Plus provides boarding care and observation, not veterinary treatment.

Can I check in on my dog during a stay?

Yes. Pet Care Plus offers live webcam access so pet parents can view their pet remotely during a stay.

Can I see the boarding areas before I book?

Yes. In-person tours are available during business hours so you can see the suites, the pool, and the team before an overnight stay.
