Going on vacation? Dog boarders through Wag! are available to care for your pup whenever you're not. Every dog boarder has passed an enhanced background check. Get updates and photos through the app from the pet boarder while you are away.
Hailey was amazing with Louie! She kept me updated throughout his stay with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. Louie can get a little anxious when we re apart, but she was patient, attentive, and made him feel comfortable. I could tell he was well cared for and loved while I was away. I would absolutely book with Hailey again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!

Ashley took absolutely incredible care of my dog over the past few days and treated him like her own. It was clear from the updates, attention, and love she gave him that he was in amazing hands the entire time. Not only did he come home happy and well cared for, but he also made a new best friend along the way. I couldn t recommend her more highly and will absolutely trust her with my dog again in the future!

Jonathan and Danielle are our go-to sitters for our pup and will continue to request them for future boarding.

PAWS Chicago Annual Beach Party
Each year in July, PAWS Chicago throws a tail-wagging beach party to raise much-needed funds, celebrate our furry friends, and generally treat the local community of animal lovers to a grrr-eat night out! Held at Castaways North Avenue Beach, this paw-ty is a summer celebration for 500 luau guests and their pets. You and your pooch can enjoy the summer sun while you sip frozen cocktails, experience the cool Lake Michigan breeze, and socialize with plenty of other two and four-legged guests! There’s an open bar, a delicious dinner, live and silent auctions, pet spa services, and the chance to simply dance the night away while raising money for an excellent cause.

PAWS Chicago 5K Walk/Run
If you love dogs, there’s no doubt that you’ll love the PAWS Chicago 5K! Not only is this a paw-some fundraiser for PAWS Chicago, but it’s also Chicago’s largest dog-friendly event. Each year, thousands of dog lovers and their canine companions gather at Montrose Harbor to tackle the scenic 5K course. Participants of all ages and fitness levels are welcome, with the main focus on fun and helping animals rather than taking things too seriously. Other event highlights include live entertainment, food and drinks, free giveaways, and maybe even a celebrity or two, so there’s plenty for you and your pooch to see and do all morning long!

Jog For Dogs
If you want to get out and about in the great outdoors with your pooch, (not to mention raise some money for a woof-tastic local rescue group at the same time) add Jog For Dogs to your calendar for the year ahead! Held in May at Elk Grove Village, this dog-friendly event features a 5K run or 2-mile walk along the scenic forest preserve trails of Busse Woods. As well as a race packet and post-race food, all participants also get the op-paw-tunity to soak up the fun, relaxed atmosphere and spend some quality time with their four-legged friend! Best of all, proceeds from the event benefit ALIVE Rescue, a Chicago non-profit committed to protecting the lives and rights of animals.

Bark in the Park
Bark in the Park is a huge outdoor paw-ty for Chicago dog lovers and their canine companions. Held at the Soldier Field Stadium Green, this event gives you, your dog, and your whole family the ideal excuse to indulge in a peaceful picnic at a wonderful location. There’s also an optional 5K walk along Chicago’s beautiful lakefront, allowing you to take in some spectacular views of the city’s skyline. And while you’re enjoying a grrr-eat day out with your dog, remember that the funds raised from the event go to help The Anti-Cruelty Society care for nearly 20,000 animals each year!

This massive (and free!) dog event draws in thousands of pooches and their owners, keen to experience plenty of four-legged fun. Event highlights include dog performances, lure coursing, frisbee dog demos, wiener dog races, heaps of cool contests, and a parade of breeds!
