Critter Castle Pet Care Services

Critter Castle Pet Care Services is a free-range dog boarding and daycare facility at 21725 W Farmington Rd in Elmwood, IL. Dogs here aren't kenneled all day. They spend their time in indoor and outdoor play areas on a spacious 3-acre property. Owners looking for dog boarding in Elmwood or the wider Peoria area will find a relaxed, home-style option here.

What services does Critter Castle offer?

Critter Castle does more than overnight stays. It works as a one-stop spot for pet care, with services that include:

• Cage-free boarding for dogs, plus boarding for cats and small critters
• Doggie daycare with indoor and outdoor play
• In-home pet sitting, walks, and potty breaks
• Pick-up and drop-off transportation
• Grooming and medication administration

What makes it different from a typical kennel?

The main draw is the free-range setup. Dogs aren't kept in runs for the day. They play and socialize, which suits dogs that get restless or anxious when crated. The website has a warm, personal tone and talks about treating pets like family.

Owners get daily photos and videos of their pet during a stay, which helps a lot before a dog's first night away. The business is bonded and insured. That matters most when a sitter is coming into your home to care for your pets.

Practical details for booking a stay
