Pet Care Plus is a short run south of River West, at 350 N. Laflin St., under the same family since 1998 and purpose-built for animals rather than converted.
River West is close enough that most clients here drop off on the way to somewhere else. 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. River West has been building fast, and a lot of its dogs are young — first dogs, in first apartments, still learning how to be around other dogs. Structured, supervised play with a team who can read when a young dog has had enough is worth more at that stage than an open free-for-all.
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.
