Doggy Days

Doggy Days offers dog boarding in Round Lake Beach, IL, along with daycare, grooming and training, all from its facility at 715 W. Rollins Road. It accepts dogs of every size, from small breeds up to giants. Its own site puts a cage-free, play-centered approach at the heart of how it describes its care.

What boarding options does Doggy Days offer?

Overnight guests choose between two styles, Deluxe boarding and Solo boarding. Nightly rates run from $60 to $65, according to the kennel's website. Owners who want more than a bed and potty breaks can add enrichment extras such as private play, treadmill time and puzzle games.

• Cage-free boarding and private suites
• Climate-controlled indoor play areas
• Double-fenced outdoor play on anti-microbial turf
• Daycare, grooming and training on site
• Medication administration for dogs that need it

What sets it apart?

The outdoor play area is double-fenced and surfaced with anti-microbial turf. That's a real plus for owners of escape artists or anyone who worries about hygiene. Owners also get daily report cards and photo updates, so a long trip doesn't mean days without news.

The website's tone is warm and focused on fitting care to each dog's personality. It describes playgroups for social dogs and quieter spaces for more reserved ones. With grooming and training in the same building, owners can book those services without making a second stop.
