Oakview Pet Resort is a family-owned and operated resort with two locations offering a luxury pet resort experience with a number of activities and options to complement your pet's stay. Our Wauconda location is nestled on 14 beautiful acres complete with woods and lush green fields. Our Lake Zurich location has a more modern feel to it, but just as much love as the Wauconda facility.
If you love animals and think you might be a good fit for our team, please review our employment opportunities and submit an application. Seeking individuals to care for pets in a luxury resort-like setting. Prefer individuals with pet caretaker experience, but will consider on a case-by-case basis.
At Oakview Pet Resort, we know that your pets are part of your family. While they're here, we consider them a part of ours. We will accommodate any special requests within reason, including dietary needs and medications. Every effort has been made to create a cozy environment for your pet while you're away. Select a location below to learn more about accommodation options and rates.
Does your dog get the attention he craves during the day while you're away at work? Do you come home after a long day to find your shoes, or even worse, your furniture, all chewed up? Dogs that come for daycare have opportunities to play throughout the day, in a safe, interactive environment. Their day is augmented with nap times to allow your pets to unwind from their busy day. Drop them off on the way to work and pick them up on the way home. They'll thank you for it!

We love this place. They treat our Sully like their own dog. He has so much fun during the day at day care, and has stayed overnight a few times. Super friendly staff. The rates are super reasonable as well. It's best to get the punch card because it saves you $20 over time. Also, Wednesday and Thursday are $25 for the whole day!

Dog owners please beware! This kennel is responsible for multiple pet injuries with a complete lack of communication and disregard for pet owners. My parents brought their yorkies here for a short weekend stay a few weeks ago. They were told that big and small dogs would be separated and that the pets would be closely monitored. At the end of the weekend, both dogs had multiple deep puncture wounds that required multiple staples.
My parents were not notified. No voicemails or missed calls. And it happened on the first day before their flight left so they could have changed plans to care for the pups. Looking at other negative reviews in hindsight (which seem to be hidden unless one searched for them) I was appalled to find that this is a PATTERN for this organization. Multiple dogs have been injured without any remorse from management or communication about what actually happened!
There is even a person on Yelp who describes having a pet die due to injuries sustained at this kennel. I can only speak for myself and our family pups are obviously traumatized as are my parents by the experience. And judging by the location of the bites it could have been much much worse. Please be aware before trusting your pets with this business.

While taking my dog in for doggie play time on the weekend I was appalled by the staff. I am late to writing this review. This occurred a few months ago so this staff member could be gone now. It was a younger lady with tattoos all over her body. She was very unprofessional and seemed to not want to be there. This made me feel uncomfortable being that this is a nice area so I left.

What a wonderful, well maintained, CLEAN and happy place to bring your pet! I have tried other places for doggy daycare and was never really impressed, but that all changed the first time I used Oakview. The girls that work the front desk honestly seem to enjoy working there, they always greet my dog like he's THEIR pet, and once they take his leash, he never even looks back at me- a sign that he is happy being there.
I don't worry all day at work about how he's being treated, and I like that they have some private rooms and will put a dog in there when he seems like he needs a little "down time". This is by far the cleanest, most well-run daycare I've seen, and my dog and I both loves the days that he gets to go there!

My two dogs LOVE coming here! As soon as we turn onto Route 22, they get so excited in the car! We pull into the parking lot, and they go crazy with joy! I love the girls that work the front (Alison, Tanya and Diana are their names, I think.). They are always pleasant and happy to see us coming! We love that Oakview posts pictures of the dogs in daycare on their facebook page!
I can't wait until my lunch break every day to see who's there and what my girls are up to. And the best part is that at the end of the day, they always come home again tired and happy and ready for a good snuggle on the couch! Thank you Oakview! We're fans for life!
