We are a unique, professional and personable pet care company serving the downtown Chicago area. We are licensed, insured and CPR/First Aid Certified. We started Bark and Stretch, LLC because we’re passionate about your pets health, happiness and comfort. You see, our clients’ pets are like members of our own family and we treat them as such, with lots of love, oodles of affection, and a sharp eye on all of their needs.
In the bustle of city life, it is can be a bit demanding to consistently provide the attention your pets need. With years of satisfied owners & much loved pets, you can rely on us when you're away. We'd like to consider ourselves a part of your pet's extended family.
We are always prepared for any pet's needs and ensure that your pet will receive the best care and love. Their happiness and care is our priority and we strive to provide a service we would want our own pets to receive.
Dogs can't read a book or call up a friend when they're home all day. Weekly walks provide mental stimuli to ease boredom or anxiety, and it's good for them . . . because a regularly-exercised dog is a well-balanced dog. Each visit includes: outdoor exercise, refreshing pets' water, and a text/photo update.
Need transportation for your pet? Our pet taxi service can safely and comfortably transport your furry friend to and from appointments, the groomer, the airport and more!
Our experienced cat sitters will care for your feline friend in the comfort of their own home, providing them with food, water, litter box cleaning, playtime and lots of cuddles!
Bark and Stretch offers Dog Day Care, a fun filled alternative that allows your dog to get some REAL exercise and socialization while you tend to your daily duties. Our drop-off and pick-up hours are 7:00am to 7:00pm, every day of the week.
All dogs MUST be evaluated prior to being admitted for day care.
Dog boarding is a more personalized and home-like alternative to traditional kennel-based dog boarding. Instead of staying at a facility, dogs are boarded in the home of a caregiver, often a pet sitter or a professional dog boarder. This service is ideal for dogs who prefer the comfort and familiarity of a home environment over a kennel or for owners who want their pets to receive more individualized attention.
All dogs are required to attend at least one day of daycare prior to boarding.
This option is particularly appealing to pet owners who want their dog to remain in a familiar environment, reducing stress and maintaining routine. The dog sitter typically provides several services, including:
Overall, in-home dog sitting offers a tailored, comfortable, and convenient option for both the dog and the owner, ensuring peace of mind while the owner is away.
