Pet Care Plus is a short run north of Taylor Street, at 350 N. Laflin St., where the same family has cared for dogs since 1998 in a building designed for animals.
Little Italy sits close enough that boarding here is a neighborhood errand rather than an outing. 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. A lot of Little Italy dogs belong to people working long or unpredictable shifts at the medical district nearby. Boarding from this neighborhood is often about cover during a run of long days, which is exactly the case where 24/7/365 staffing and webcam access matter rather than being a bullet point.
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.
