Our Approach · Since 1998
Pet Care Plus opened in 1998 as a dog walking and pet sitting operation. Jennifer and Chris built it from the ground up — not as investors, but as people who believed Chicago’s pets deserved better than what was available at the time.
A different kind of proof
We’re not the largest pet care operation in Chicago. We’re the longest-running under the same ownership. We’ve seen more than most, so we can handle more than most. That’s a different kind of proof.
Almost 30 years on
Jennifer and Chris started Pet Care Plus not as investors, but as people who believed Chicago’s pets deserved better than what was available at the time.
Almost 30 years later: same ownership, same neighborhood, same commitment — in the same West Loop we started in.
We’ve watched thousands of dogs grow from puppies to seniors in our care — whole lifetimes, with the same family looking after them.
We’ve updated the facility, trained the team, and refined the process — but the reason we get up every morning hasn’t changed.
Part of our approach
Intentional care — every action has a reason.
Structured play with a rhythm of activity and rest.
An experienced team — trained in first aid & CPR.
Whole-lifecycle wellness, puppy to senior.
Tour any time during business hours — no appointment needed. We have an open door, and we’ll show you everything.
