We'd love to have your dog as our guest!
Here at Dogaholics, we offer premium dog boarding for the canine communities of Chicago and Lakeview. We treat your furry pal like the beloved family member they are, welcoming them into our pack with cushy accommodations and five-star entertainment experiences.
While luxuriating in the accommodations at Dogaholics, your canine family member enjoys cozy sleeping arrangements, tons of entertainment, and special treatment. We understand what it means to take care of your dog in the way they deserve. At our premier dog boarding facility in Chicago, your pooch will play with other dogs during the day and have a cozy private kennel to rest in at night. While enjoying their daily playtime with their canine companions, your pup will experience the largest outdoor play area in Chicago. We have team members watching over your furry loved one every second of the day and night, fully devoted to their constant care.
Our boarding services provide comprehensive care so your beloved pooch gets the love and attention they deserve. Our staff are on site until 8:00 PM at which time your fur-baby will retire to their kennel and our facility will be locked. Our staff will arrive the next morning at 6:00 AM to give them some love, attention and to let the pups out, provide breakfast, and they will then join daycare at 9:00 AM.
Dogs must be dropped off before 1:30 pm on the first day of their stay and can be picked up any time during our normal business hours, though all pick-ups that happen after 12pm will incur a half-day of daycare fee to account for the extra time. Pick up and drop off after business hours is subject to approval by overnight staff and must be arranged with the front desk directly when scheduling your appointment to ensure we can accommodate your schedule.
All boarding dogs join the daycare dogs during the day. Although we are able to give dogs short breaks as needed, we cannot accommodate any solo dogs that do not do well in a group play setting. Please feel free to reach out to the front desk with any questions!

Please bring enough food for the duration of your pet's boarding stay. We ask that you bring their preferred food in a labeled, resealable, airtight container. Canned food and meal toppers are accepted in their original container, but must be labeled with your pet's name.
Additionally, we can administer any oral or topical medications or supplements to your pup for non-contagious health issues while they are here. Medication must be in the original prescribed container with the prescription label adhered. We ask that you include detailed instructions and any special treats you may use at home, like hot dogs or peanut butter. If your dog requires special accommodations or complex medications, please reach out to the front desk directly to discuss if the accommodations needed are within our abilities as a facility.

During our most in-demand boarding timeframes, a nightly Peak Season surcharge will be added to all boarding reservations. Peak season dates include any major holidays and local school breaks. Please call for more information!
