Pet Care Plus is about two miles west of River North, at 350 N. Laflin St., under the same family since 1998 and built for animals from the ground up.
It is a straight run west, out of the traffic rather than into it. Private climate-controlled suites, a team on-site 24/7/365, five independent air-handling systems, and our own parking lot — a genuine rarity this close to downtown.
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. River North dogs are high-rise dogs. Their whole day is lift, pavement, lift, and the nearest grass is often a shared patch shared with a great many other dogs. A stay with an open run and a pool is a different order of thing from another walk round the block.
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.
