SIT Social: A Dog Lounge in Chicago, IL

We first heard of SIT Social through the Chicago Corgi Cavalcade about a year ago. We attended a few corgi meet-ups at this location and were very impressed by their professionalism and the general vibe of the place. Being as though our girl is on the anxious and shy side, we have been hesitant to throw her into just any daycare/boarding situation. With this being said, we were pleased to learn that SIT Social only allows dogs under 50 lbs, who are well behaved and friendly, at a limited capacity. We decided to give this place a try, as a means of helping our doggo socialize and get out of the house. Our first day was very smooth. We were able to get all of our questions answered via email prior to drop off. Upon drop off Daisy (our corgi) was met with love by staff members. This immediately eased our nerves about leaving her for the day. The best part about SIT Social is the "pupdates". Midway through the day we will get an update with pictures, videos, and an update on Daisy's behavior. This helps us feel comfortable and confident about the care she is receiving. Needless to say, we were pleased with how the first day went and decided to book a "standing order" for 1-2 days a week indefinitely. It has now been about 5 months of Daisy attending daycare at SIT Social and we would not change a thing. We even left her for boarding for the first time a few weeks ago. Again, given our girls natural anxiety in social settings, we were a nervous wreck leaving her for a weekend, but were comforted knowing she was with such kind, patient, loving, and professional staff. Special shout out to Bri, who in particular has been so great to our girl and responsive to us humans! Logistically, this place is in a good central location. There is always parking out front. When you get there you call their number and they greet you and your dog / bring your dog out to you. Prices are also fair for the more intimate care received. Overall, this place is a must for local small dog owners. We are so blessed to have found this place, and can not thank them enough for taking in our girl and helping her grow and slowly overcome some of her social anxiety. We can not recommend SIT Social enough. If you are looking for somewhere were your dog is not just a number, but rather where your dog is truly cared about, this is your place.

Our 11 month old puppy has been going to Sit for about 8 months now. Her breed is typically pretty protective, independent, and anti social, but taking her to Sit gives her the opportunity to exercise her social skills in a boutique environment with dogs that aren’t too big to Intimidate her. The staff is personal - they care - these are their babies too. I love the Pupdates every day and that the platform has now stores HUNDREDS of photos and videos of the ur baby so I can go in and download and save them all! What an awesome bonus. We’ve also boarded her when we go out of town and she’s so comfortable in her 2nd home. We love Sit and can’t recommend it enough.

Sit Social was able to board our dog Ringo last minute after our plans fell through and we were so happy that he absolutely loved it! We dropped him off for daycare the day before to get acquainted and was so excited when he walked up to the door the next day to play with the other pups he didn’t even look back at us! This was really great because he has a bit of separation anxiety but Sit Social made him feel comfortable safe and right at home! He can’t wait to go back. Thank you!

We love getting the pup dates for our 5 month old cavapoo to see her and her new friends getting acquainted. The booking system is also easy to navigate and the staff are organized and quick to respond.

My frenchie absolutely loves this place. He pulls me to the red door and screams until they open up so he can join his buddies. Great place with an intimate feel; other places are too large. All the dog handlers truly get to know each dog and their family.
