OUR TEAM

Our Team

Go beyond the traditional bounds of daycare for canines and establish a bond with our group of dog owners in Mokena, IL. Alfie’s Poochie Playlot has been providing deserving pets with cage-free playrooms and boarding for more than 10 years. Imagine how much happier your dog will be relaxing and playing in our state of the art boarding facility. Your favorite furry friend can take a dip in our pet-friendly pool, and they can run to their heart’s content through our tree-lined outdoor area.


With more than a decade of experience in this business, we have a track record of performance that we happily stand behind. We treat each and every pooch that visits our doggie spa like a member of our own family. The difference is the people and pet owners that make up our management team and our staff. These are dog people that share your passion for any four-legged friend with a cold nose and a loving heart.
