Why More Plainfield Pet Owners Are Choosing Dog Daycare

Plainfield, IL — As more pet owners juggle work, errands, and travel, a growing number of Plainfield residents are turning to dog daycare services to keep their furry family members healthy, happy, and well-socialized.

“Dog daycare isn’t just a luxury—it’s a meaningful way to enrich your dog’s life,” says Rick Chlibovytsch, Resort Manager at Plainfield Pet Resort, a full-service pet care facility offering daycare, boarding, and grooming. “We’ve seen firsthand how much dogs thrive when they have a consistent routine filled with safe play, structure, and positive human interaction.”

1. Physical and Mental Exercise

One of the biggest advantages of dog daycare is the ample opportunity for dogs to burn off energy. Whether it’s supervised group play or one-on-one time, dogs are kept active throughout the day. This physical stimulation can reduce destructive behaviors at home caused by boredom or excess energy.

“Our playgroups are designed to match dogs by size and temperament, which helps create a fun and safe environment,” Chlibovytsch explains.

2. Socialization Skills

Dogs are social animals, and regular interaction with other dogs and people is essential for their development—especially for puppies and adolescent dogs. Daycare helps pups become more confident and less anxious in new environments or around unfamiliar faces.

“Social dogs are generally more adaptable, easier to train, and less reactive,” says Chlibovytsch. “It’s rewarding to watch them grow more comfortable and well-mannered with each visit.”

3. Safe Supervision

Dog daycares like Plainfield Pet Resort provide professional, trained staff who monitor play sessions and ensure all dogs are safe and well-cared for. This peace of mind is invaluable to owners who may otherwise leave their dogs home alone for long periods.

4. Customized Options

Modern daycare facilities offer flexible packages that cater to different needs—from occasional visits to unlimited monthly plans. Some even offer enrichment activities, outdoor play yards, and add-on grooming or training services for convenience.

5. A Happier, Healthier Dog

Veterinarians often recommend dog daycare for pets showing signs of separation anxiety, excessive barking, or behavioral issues at home. A tired, mentally stimulated dog is often a better-behaved one.

“By the time dogs go home, they’re tired, fulfilled, and excited to come back,” Chlibovytsch adds. “That’s the best endorsement we could ask for.”

Plainfield Pet Resort is located at 14411 S. Route 59, Plainfield, IL 60544. New customers can try 30 days of unlimited daycare for just $99.
