Overnight Care
Thoughtful Care While You’re Away
Comfort, companionship, exercise and dependable communication—from caregivers who treat your dog like family.
Chicago Adventure Pack’s overnight care is provided by Jared Hocking and his trusted team: Katherine Jones, Annie Oberleis and Holly Ferris. Depending on availability, compatibility and your dog’s needs, care may take place in your home or in an approved caregiver’s home.
Our goal is to preserve your dog’s familiar routine while making their stay safe, comfortable and genuinely enjoyable.

Personalized Overnight Care
Before the stay, we review your dog’s meals, medications, sleeping routine, walking schedule, personality, health needs and household instructions.
Overnight care may include:
Meals prepared according to your instructions
Regular walks, potty breaks and daily exercise
Companionship, affection and enrichment
Medication administered as directed
Respect for your dog’s established household routine
Frequent photo and video updates
Consistent communication throughout the stay
Coordination with your emergency contact and veterinarian when necessary
We pay attention to changes in appetite, energy, mobility and behavior and communicate promptly if something seems unusual.
Overnight With Jared—and an Adventure Day
For eligible dogs staying overnight with Jared from Monday through Thursday, daytime care includes an Adventure Day at no additional charge.
Your dog can spend the day hiking, swimming, sniffing, playing and exploring with a thoughtfully matched pack before returning for dinner, rest and a comfortable night.
Participation is available to dogs who have completed the introduction process and have been approved for group outings. The day’s destination and activity level are adjusted around staffing, weather and the dogs attending.
Current vaccinations—including leptospirosis—and active flea and tick prevention are required for Adventure Days.
Care From People You Can Trust
Jared’s approach has been shaped by years of volunteering, fostering and supporting animal-rescue organizations, including PAWS Chicago, One Tail at a Time and the Michigan Animal Rescue League.
That experience taught him the importance of patient introductions, secure handling, careful observation and respecting each dog’s individual comfort level.
Katherine, Annie and Holly follow the same thoughtful approach. Care instructions, schedules and important health information are communicated clearly so every caregiver understands what your dog needs.
Safety and Preparation
Every overnight arrangement begins with a meet and greet. For care in a sitter’s home, compatibility with the home, resident animals and sleeping environment must be confirmed in advance.
Before the stay, families provide:
Feeding and medication instructions
Veterinary and emergency-contact information
Secure walking equipment
Relevant medical and behavioral history
Preferred sleeping and bathroom routines
Enough food and medication for the reservation
Availability is intentionally limited so every dog receives meaningful attention and individualized care.
