Dog Boarding Chicago –
A Safe and Comfortable Place to Stay

We know it’s tough to leave your dog behind when you leave town, however, you’ll find peace of mind in the activities and plans we make for your dog’s boarding stay.

All boarded dogs take a mid-day break for some rest and relaxation. Meals will be provided according to your dog’s predetermined schedule. Our skilled caregivers are able to administer special diets, medication and injections.

Deluxe Comfort Boarding: Space, Serenity, and Special Care

Deluxe Comfort Boarding is our answer for dogs who thrive in a more spacious and serene environment. Our expanded kennels, measuring a comfortable 4×6 feet, are designed to provide your dog with the privacy and quiet they need. Each kennel is enclosed on all sides, creating a tranquil, room-like space that’s ideal for rest and relaxation. This option is especially suited for dogs that may be kennel reactive, those with anxiety, or simply for any pet that enjoys a bit of extra pampering. We understand that some dogs appreciate a more peaceful atmosphere, and our Deluxe Comfort Boarding is designed with their needs in mind. It’s also an excellent choice for families boarding multiple dogs, allowing your pets to stay together in a luxurious setting. Our commitment to your dog’s well-being is reflected in every detail of this premium boarding experience.

Why Our Clients Love Us

K9U is great. They offer classes as well as day camp /sitting services. The size of the location is pretty impressive, as they have a large indoor and outdoor areas for dogs to play. (They even pick up and drop off your dog.). The staff and trainers are very friendly and extremely effective.James J.
K9 University is great. We’ve been going there for 7 and a half years. We’ve done training, we’ve done agility, we’ve done boarding and we’ve done daycare. The only thing we haven’t done is a drop off and pick up. My dog is kind of a nut and they deal with her well. Debbie W.
My dog has experienced everything at K9U: daycare, classes and boarding. When he is either picked up by the K9U van or dropped off his tail is wagging like crazy. When I pick him up he is happy to see me, goes outside to relieve himself and then pulls to go back in. Jane F.
