Frequently asked questions

Common questions about doggy daycare in Chicago.

How much does doggy daycare cost in Chicago?▾

In-home daycare in Chicago typically runs $32 to $60 per day, with North Side neighborhoods like Lincoln Park and Lakeview slightly higher than Logan Square or Pilsen. Petme charges 0% owner commission.

How do Chicago daycare sitters handle winter?▾

Experienced Chicago sitters adjust walks for windchill, use booties and paw balm during salted-sidewalk season, and limit outdoor exercise on sub-zero days, swapping in indoor enrichment, puzzle toys, and short hallway play sessions.

Are there daycare sitters near the Lakefront Trail or major dog parks?▾

Yes. Many Lakeview, Lincoln Park, and Edgewater sitters are walking distance from the Lakefront Trail, Montrose Dog Beach, Wiggly Field, and Margate Park, all favorite spots for daycare-day exercise.

Do Chicago daycare sitters accept apartment or high-rise dogs?▾

Yes. Many Petme Chicago sitters live in apartments and condos themselves, so building access, elevator etiquette, and small-space living are familiar territory. Filter by "apartment-friendly" when browsing.

Can I book recurring daycare in Chicago?▾

Yes. Most Chicago sitters accept weekly recurring schedules, often at a discounted weekly rate. Set up two to five days a week with the same sitter so your dog builds a consistent routine.
