A note on our approach

We don’t over-schedule boarding dogs. Rest is part of wellness — and we mean that genuinely. Dogs in our care have structured activity and real wind-down time, because an anxious, depleted dog at pick-up wasn’t cared for, just occupied. Our team knows the difference between a quiet dog who is content and one who needs attention. That comes from 30 years of experience and a well-trained team.

Senior care

Senior Dog Boarding

Senior dogs often benefit from reduced stimulation, softer handling, and attentive observation. Pet Care Plus uses this approach as part of whole-lifecycle care.

Our team is trained to recognize whether a dog needs rest or may need to see a veterinarian. This is observation and referral only; Pet Care Plus is a boarding resort, not a veterinary provider.

Planning your stay

Overnight and Longer Boarding Stays

For an overnight visit, review our overnight dog boarding guide alongside the private-suite and activity information on this page. Planning several nights away? Contact the team with your dates, your dog's routine, and any care needs before requesting a longer stay.

Ask what to pack, how to provide feeding instructions, and how the team will discuss any medication or veterinary requirements. Current availability and pricing must be confirmed for your dates; an online request is the start of that conversation.

Review boarding requirements, contact the West Loop team, or start a new-client reservation. Returning clients can use the existing-client booking route.
