About Us

4 Paws Playhouse is owned and operated by David King. Dave and his trusted staff are all avid animal lovers, with multiple pets of their own. At 4 Paws Playhouse we know how important it is to ensure that your dog gets the best care possible. With this passion and love for animals, your 4 pawed family member will be in great hands and as always a loving CAGE FREE environment.

4 Paws Playhouse is located at 15711 S. Cicero Ave., Oak Forest, IL. We have a 4,000 square foot building with a 2,000 square foot fenced in area outside for potty breaks and playing as weather permits.

At 4 Paws Playhouse, your dog will enjoy our clean, cageless facility featuring open playgroups, in a fun, safe and loving environment. Our facilities also provide overnight stay, an alternative to a traditional kennel. We have installed rubber flooring for the comfort of your pooches paws and joints. All daycare rooms can be viewed from the lobby for safety purposes.

With all the playing and romping around, we have set aside a nap time from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This is quiet time and the doors are locked and the lights are dimmed. Please respect this down time. No pick ups or drop offs will be made during this time.

4 Paws Playhouse provides a 24 hour staff at all times for boarding dogs. A staff member sleeps in the boarding room with your dog. The boarding room has a queen and two twin beds for your dogs comfort. We do not have cages or kennels. 4 Paws Playhouse is a home environment setting. Dogs are never confined and can go in and out as needed.

4 Paws Playhouse is conveniently located next door to the Oak Forest Animal Clinic and the Oak Forest Metra Station.

4 Paws Playhouse requires an evaluation of all dogs prior to them attending Doggy Daycare or the Doggy Hotel. The evaluation is a review of all completed forms, verification of required vaccinations and an introduction between your dog and the others who spend the day here. There is a $20 one time fee which is non refundable. Once your dog is accepted, he is invited to come for Daycare or Boarding at any time.
