Boarding
Home away from home
Your dog is family — and they deserve to be treated that way.
With 24-hour care and only 8–10 spots available at a time, your pup receives attentive supervision and a personalized experience tailored to their unique needs. While you’re away, they’ll have the opportunity to make new friends, explore new surroundings, and enjoy a safe, enriching environment designed just for them.
Welcome to Our Arlington Heights Boarding Home!
At our cozy Arlington Heights location, we specialize in providing top-tier care for dogs weighing 30lbs and under. Whether you're traveling or just need a safe place for your pup during the day, we offer a comprehensive boarding service tailored to small breeds.
Boarding Rates:
- Small Dogs (30lbs and under): $75 per day.
Complimentary Services:
Pick-Up Day: If your pup is scheduled to be back in your arms by 12 am on drop off day (last day of boarding), that day is free of charge.
Evening Boarding Rate: If boarding starts between 7pm-9pm the rate is $30 instead of the full day rate of $75.
Transportation: We handle round-trip transportation from your home to our facility. The transportation fee is $50 but is waived for stays of five full days or longer. (Evening boarding days do not count as full days)
Facilities & Amenities:
Accommodation: Your pup will enjoy a private and spacious pen for bedtime and relaxation times when a boarder is not present.
Playtime: We provide a selection of toys to keep your pup entertained and engaged throughout their stay. They will be paired with pups who have a similar playstyle, and they will have access to a full fenced in backyard where their playtime is monitored.
Feeding: We supply bowls for food and water. Please provide your dog's regular food in a labeled, resealable, airtight container. Dog safe treats will be provided unless asked otherwise.
Health Care:
We are equipped to administer any necessary medications for non-contagious conditions during your dog’s stay. Please include detailed instructions and any special additives you might use at home, such as hot dogs or peanut butter, to aid in medication administration.
We must have proof of up to date vaccinations of the following: Rabies, Distemper, Parvovirus, Hepatitis, and Adenovirus. Bordetella is recommended as well.
Drop-off & Pick-up Times:
- Available daily between 9am - 12pm and 7pm - 9pm.
We always try to prioritize drop off’s before pick up’s. There are only 3 spots in the van, so we want to ensure the van gets emptied before we fill it up again. This also helps to minimize the amount of time your dog has to spend in the vehicle.
For more information or to schedule your dog's stay, please contact us. We look forward to providing your beloved pup with a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable home away from home!
“Bow Wow Behavioral boarding services are EXCEPTIONAL! From answering all my questions and easily scheduling pick up and drop off, using BWB for Arlo’s boarding was seamless. Ty answered all my questions and provided all the necessary information prior to boarding. They also provided photos, videos and texts each day with how Arlo was doing (he loved running around with his dog friends in the yard) and great news is he loved it so much we will definitely use BWB for boarding in the future! Cannot recommend this extension of their training services enough!”
“My little pup Elvis just finished a 5 day boarding stay and I could not be happier with this business. From the moment they picked my dog up to transport him to the house I felt comfortable. Being nervous in the car they allowed him to sit in the passenger seat rather than in the back of the van in a crate alone. I received pictures and videos everyday of Elvis off leash exploring, sniffing, and playing with the other dogs. I know he had a good time because he has been sleeping since he got home! I will be using this service whenever I need to go out of town.”
