Dog Boarding for Lincoln Park — Fifteen Minutes South

Pet Care Plus is about four miles south of Lincoln Park, at 350 N. Laflin St., where the same family has cared for dogs since 1998 in a purpose-built facility.

Halsted or Ashland will take you most of the way. Private climate-controlled suites, a team on-site 24/7/365, five independent air-handling systems, and our own parking lot at the door.

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.

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. Lincoln Park is spoiled for green space, and dogs from here arrive with a high expectation of outdoor time. That is worth saying plainly: a stay needs an open run and real activity to be a fair swap for the park, and quiet private suites so the dog actually sleeps afterwards.

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 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.

Lincoln Park Boarding FAQs

How far is the resort from Lincoln Park?

About four miles, roughly thirteen to fifteen minutes by car south on Halsted or Ashland and west on Lake. There is on-site parking at the building.

My dog is used to the park every day. Will it get enough activity?

Every stay includes your choice of activity package, with an open run and a 15,000-gallon heated saltwater outdoor pool at the facility. We deliberately do not over-schedule, though — activity and then real rest, rather than constant stimulation.

Do you groom as well, so I only drive down once?

Yes. Grooming can be arranged alongside a boarding stay so that one trip covers both. Ask when you book so it is scheduled in advance.

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.
