FAQs for finding cat boarding near you in Chicago, IL

There are a variety of cat boarding services available near you in Chicago, IL, including traditional kennel-style boarding and home-based pet sitting. Kennel-style boarding establishments typically offer both short and long-term stays, as well as amenities such as play time, grooming, and even medical care. Home-based pet sitting involves the pet sitter coming to the client’s home to provide care and attention while the owners are away. Both options provide a safe and secure environment for cats while their owners are away.

While the average hourly rate of cat boarding near you in Chicago, IL is $18.89, the cost you’ll end up paying can vary depending on the location of your chosen cat boarding facility. The types of services the cat boarding facility offers, as well as your cat’s unique needs can also impact cost.

To find reliable cat boarding services near you in Chicago, IL, it’s a good idea to read reviews when using Care.com to narrow down your search. That way, you can get an idea of what the customer experience was like for other cat parents.

Yes, there is a difference between cat boarding and traditional kenneling near you in Chicago, IL? While traditional kenneling often involves putting cats in cages for extended periods of time, cat boarding facilities will typically provide more personalized attention and space for your cats. Additionally, some cat boarding facilities may also offer additional services such as pet grooming or medical care.

Before selecting a cat boarding facility for your furry friend near you in Chicago, IL, you should make sure to research the facility thoroughly. Ask about the staff’s experience with caring for cats, their methods of sanitization, their policies regarding visiting hours and any additional services they may offer. Additionally, it would be wise to inquire about what types of amenities the facility provides; some may have outdoor areas where cats can roam safely while others may offer climate-controlled indoor spaces with toys and other enrichment activities.
