Dog Sitters in Cary, NC

Let me start by saying this review was not solicited by Pupsi, nor was I offered anything for the review. My family and I have been taking our dog to Pupsi since 2012, when he was still a young pup. We have taken him for boarding, and day care. I have never encountered a more loving and caring place than Pupsi. Trace and Deb and the whole staff have always been welcoming and accommodating. They always remember who we are and what Rousseau needed, liked and didn't like. Rousseau never had any issues, never came home injured or sick. Although one trip early on we thought he had hurt his tail. The vet said he over used it wagging...Now have you ever had a dog sprain their tail from wagging? That tells me he had a great time. Also when we would pick him up with a fresh bath and nails trimmed he was so happy to see us, but would sleep for the rest of the day because he was so worn out after playing and making friends. Trace, Deb and the rest of the staff always felt like part of our family. Unfortunately last week while we were on Thanksgiving break, Rousseau suffered an illness; this was an emergency situation that no one could have predicted and was not the fault of nor had anything to do with Pupsi. Trace went above and beyond in contacting us immediately and due to how far away we were, transported Rousseau to our vet. Rousseau was 15 and passed peacefully. I cannot thank Pupsi and the staff enough. If anyone out there reads this and thinks its untrue or a bot just ask the staff about Rousseau the next time you stop by. We aren't ready for another fur baby yet but when our next companion finds us we will introduce him or her to Pupsi and continue the tradition. Thank you again Pupsi and especially Trace and Deb for being so good to us and Rousseau. Thanks alone will never be enough.

Our pup, Mick, loved his first day at daycare! We are excited to bring him back again soon! Would definitely recommend Pupsi!

Loved this place! Best value for your money out of any boarding place I’ve taken my dog too. She just gets to run around and play for most of the day in a huge yard. Amazing!

We've taken our dogs to Pupsi for 4-5 years, and we've been very happy with grooming and daycare. The manager, Deb, has an amazing memory and really knows the dogs names and personalities. They are good at watching which dogs can socialize with others. The level of service, attention and confidence in the level of care for my dogs has been a very good deal.

My pup is excited to arrive at Pupsi and tired after a day of playing with all the other pups. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful.

I do not recommend this place. They hire kids with no dog training background and hand them the dog's e-collar during playtime. They allow an inexperienced kid to correct the dogs on a high setting for "being annoying" which is not how to properly e-collar train a dog. Dangerously negligent. If your dog uses an e-collar at pupsi, and suddenly becomes scared of the e-collar or behavioral changes happen, this is why.

Our dog is well cared for and excited to go to daycare at Pupsi. The facility is always clean and the staff is friendly!

Wonderful pet services! Been taking my pups here for almost a year and they love it. Convenient drop off and pick up times. The cuts always look great and the stinky nuggets always leave smelling great! Highly recommended for all your pet services and needs!

Been going here for 4 years. Great staff, service, and grooming. Update. Been over 13 years now. Still great staff and service. Highly recommend!

Our dog is not-neutered, and we were grateful to pupsi for having him stay for boarding & for taking care of him! He always came back a happy pup! However, they failed to let us know as changes occurred - our dog stopped being able to play outside in a group (due to his rough behavior) but no one informed us of this. When I asked over email, they argued with me about informing us in person - however that wasn’t the case & there was no email communication until we asked. Had we known earlier, we would’ve tended to the behavior concerns instead of constantly applying for boarding and getting rejected. As a service provider, I expect better communication, transparency and kindness, since we are entrusting the service with our dog & paying for it.

I took my dog here to be groomed a few weeks after a bad experience at another grooming facility. I walked in to pick him up and didn’t even recognize him after Lisa was done with him. Her rockstar of a daughter, Angelica, who grooms as well, greeted me and was extremely pleasant. They were informative and made sure to communicate with me throughout the day about his grooming needs. 10/10 would recommend and as you can see, my baby was happy as well (he rolled around in the car a bit but trust me, he looked even better right after they were done).

Took my Pomeranian for the first time! The front desk lady was very welcoming and adored my dog! They were very responsive through the text. Laura was his groomer and she did an amazing job! I sent them photos of what I wanted and they did exactly what I asked for. I will visit for his next grooming for sure! Thank you!

My experience with PAWS has been nothing but positive. As my first experience with doggie day care, I didn’t know what to expect but ever since the first reservation I made, the whole staff has been welcoming, kind, communicative, and caring. As soon as we pull into the parking lot, my dog is so excited to go right to the door and lightens up as soon as we walk in. He is always received with a smile and sometimes I think he doesn’t want to leave. I feel comfortable leaving him there because I know he is in good hands.

Penny has been getting groomed at Paws Pet Concierge for months now. It took me a while to find a consistent, reliable groomer in the triangle. She looks exactly the same after every haircut, and comes back smelling so clean. Penny isn’t the easiest dog, she’s very nervous, and can be reactive so dropping her off can get pretty loud, but the staff is so patience and they treat her as their own. I know she’s in good hands and when I pick her up, she’s always calm and happy. I recommend this place to literally every dog parent I know, and those who have gone, are always satisfied. Keep up the good work guys! :)

I needed a last-minute solution for boarding my two labradors. PAWS was the only place that didn't turn me down, and I called quite a few. I was really nervous about taking them to PAWS because I've never boarded my dogs before, and they let the dogs all run around together all day. My dogs are not used to being around other dogs at all, so I really expected them to be super anxious and scared, if not aggressive. The staff at PAWS did everything possible to make sure they were safe and happy and it turned out that my two boys loved it! Thanks to the caring staff, they were eased into the social environment and ended up having a great time, and they along great with the other dogs! I was updated regularly with texts and pictures, which really made me feel much better about it. They also had a bath and grooming on the last day and they were soft and fluffy and smelled great! I'm definitely going to take them back to PAWS the next time we go out of town.

We have been bringing our dog here for the past two years since we moved to Cary. The employees are friendly and always happy to see Arya. They take excellent care of her and she is excited to go each time we drop her off. The owner is very responsible, professional and has a heart for rescues. Their rates are also very reasonable!

Our dogs always get excited when the driver arrives to take our boys to PPC. They demonstrate care and concern for our pets when we go out of town or for any other reason. It’s been great to have them cleaned, groomed and nails trimmed while in their care (additional cost). It’s been such a convenience to have our dogs picked up and dropped off alleviating the hassle of getting them there while packing to go on a vacation.

I have a special needs dog with high anxiety. Additionally, all my family recently moved away and I have no one local to help dogsit if I need to travel. Paws Pet Concierge has saved my life in that regard. I take my dogs to daycare there twice a week and board them if I need to. They are so accommodating of my dogs’ needs and so sweet to them, you can tell they are huge dog lovers. I feel at ease leaving town knowing my dogs are being loved and cared for.

I have came back to pick up my dog covered in fleas, hurting, skin irritation, and depressed. After 9 hrs of driving from my 4 days trip, i came back to 3 hrs of work to comfort him, clean him and get him the help he needed. I inspected my pet right away and decided to give him a bath to comfort him, to find out he was covered in bites, some caused him to bleed in abdominal area. They have spend most of the night turning things on me telling me it's pretty much my fault and that the dog was perfectly fine because the picture they send me during his stay show him "FINE". That was their explanation to why this possibly couldn't happen while he was there, and even came up with a story that it could have happened during the 10 min ride back home with my friend, who picked him up to drop him to my home 2 hrs before my arrival. How ridiculous. I noticed things were wrong as soon as i reunited with my pet. I have immediately raised my concerns and send pictures of what he looked like and how much he was suffering. They have failed my pet and failed to resolve the issue, instead they offered me free grooming service, WHY WOULD I traumatized my dog any farther and bring him back to free grooming to a place that is infested with fleas? What kind of a pet owner would do that, for free grooming ? She then also accused me of not having my pet on preventative meds for fleas which he is on chewable, asking me through messages to prove it while i was more concern catering to my sick pet. NON stop till 12:30 midnight fighting me trying to convince me that this is my fault and not theirs. I choose to take this farther and i am currently in process to do that. I will never got back. It's important to inspect your pet right away as this place cannot be trusted and is extremely concerning.

We couldn’t get our dogs into our usual boarding place so we decided to try paws concierge. We have 3 dogs ranging from big to small. Staff was super friendly and very happy to see our dogs. We were able to get text messages and photos sent to us so we knew how our dogs were doing. They have a great setup and we were very pleased with our experience there. We will definitely be taking our dogs here from now on.

My dog LOVES daycare here!! The staff is always so friendly and knows who my dog is the second I walk in the door. Every morning Clyde goes he jumps out of the car and sprints to the front door he is so excited to be there! Love Ruff Housing!!

Ruff Housing Cary went above and beyond! We were traveling from out of state, with our dog reactive dog, and they asked all the right questions to make sure they were a good fit and could accommodate our dog. You can tell this place takes care of their employees - they are all so happy and genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs. Chris, and the rest of the team were amazing! They took time out of their shifts to come meet us at pickup and tell us how much they enjoyed our dog. This place is beautifully kept, clean, our belongings came back clean and cared for. This was a heartwarming experience for us a well, and encouraging as a reactive dog owner. 1000% recommend, and if we ever visit North Carolina again we will be back. Thank you Ruff Housing Cary! You are a gem.

Denver, (my black golden doodle) goes here for day care every Saturday and gets groomed every 6 weeks by Amanda. He’s been going for 2 yrs now. He loves this place and the staff! He starts barking as soon as we turn off of Harrison ave. He knows where we are going. He has boarded several times and has done very well. This is important not to have to worry while you’re away! Initially what attracted me to Ruff Housing was that they gave me a tour of the facility and I was very impressed by the cleanliness! Other places wouldn’t even give me a tour which was a big no for me. They also have webcams to check on your baby during the play time. They have a schedule that they follow so you know when they are playing and when they are resting. I highly recommend this place.They take care of your dog just like you would and that means the most to me. I have to be able to TRUST! This is my baby! 💙

We take our two dogs to Ruff Housing for daycare and boarding pretty regularly, and they love it! The staff is so great, and VERY attentive. There have been a couple times that one of them had a bit of an upset tummy, and got sick at the facility. They text me to ket me know right away, and kept me updated on how they were doing. Highly recommend for you and your pups!

We absolutely adore this place! Our dog, Lexi, gets so excited to go see her friends for a play date. We've boarded her long term, short term, play date and used grooming and never had an issue. I highly recommend Ruff Housing to anyone!

We are so pleased with Ruff Housing grooming service (spa bath). And most importantly, our 'baby-huey' big, scaredy-cat Italian Mastiff loves everyone there and feels comfortably "right at home"! Impressive! Because groomer, Amanda H, takes such good care of our dog, I highly recommend, and will continue using them regularly!

DO NOT bring your dog here for daycare under any circumstance!!! Brought my dog in for her first day of daycare as I just moved to the area. Being her first day, I was watching the cameras very closely to make sure all was going well. I dropped her off at 7:45am and did not see her in a playroom until 10:30am meaning they left her in a kennel for 2 1/2 hours. When she was out of the kennel, they did not take her outside one time so she never had a chance to use the bathroom except for if she were to go on the floor in the indoor playroom that she was in. The absolute worst part about this place was the woman working in the playroom that my dog was in. Anytime the dogs started to nicely play with each other or she was just flat out bored, she would SPRAY THE DOGS IN THE FACE WITH WATER FROM HER FAN WATER BOTTLE. You can see in the videos that some of the dogs were very scared of this and she flat out did not care. When I brought this to the attention of the woman working the front desk, she was completely speechless and had zero explanation for this workers actions. While the worker wasn't hitting/hurting the dogs, spraying dogs in the face with water for your own entertainment is completely disgusting and so wrong on so many levels. My biggest piece of advice for anyone looking to try this place is DON'T. Unless you want your dog locked in a kennel, confined to a dirty indoor playroom, sprayed in the face, and be scared, do not go to this place.

My high-energy dog goes to Ruff Housing 3 days a week for day care—and she LOVES it! When she arrives, the staff treat Ginger like a rockstar and she eats it up. She absolutely loves all the attention. Personally, I love the format they offer of the smaller groups that pair up dogs of similar energy/size (they give every dog a temperament test prior to placement). The facility has both indoor AND outdoor yards so I feel comfortable that in extreme weather she can still see her friends since they move the party indoors. I also travel quite a bit for work so I use their boarding services as well; I recommend their luxury suites because they have cameras included and I can check in on her in the evenings (although their standard suites are just fine too). It’s also nice to have the choice to get her a bath while she’s there since they have a groomer on staff. I’ve been so happy with ALL the staff there and just want to thank them for taking such great care of Ginger. Try it out—you won’t be disappointed!

I cannot speak highly enough about this staff! They are so friendly and helpful, staying in frequent communication. They have so many playroom and outdoor yards that we were able to watch on the webcam stream. I just picked my dog up from a 5-night stay and he was so happy and healthy -- he was clearly given a lot of love and attention. With prior boarding experiences in other places, he is usually anxious to leave when we picked him up.

Our two dogs enjoy the experience at Ruff Housing and always come home tired. The reservation process is simple, drop off and pick up are also flexible. Try it!

I highly recommend the Cozy Cats Hotel if you are in the need of cat boarding services! I have boarded my cats at the Cozy Cats Hotel on multiple occasions and every time they have received amazing care! The pictures and email postcards sent are great for peace of mind while I am out of town. The staff have always been super communicative and kind as well.

We definitely recommend the cozy cat hotel!! This was our first time leaving our kitty and were really nervous but they sent pictures and updates throughout her stay which we loved! When we brought our girl home she seemed happy and settled right back in! We will be back!!

I needed to board my cat for almost 2 weeks. They provided daily updates on how he was doing, and pictures every other day. Stacy was a vet tech and very knowledgeable on taking care of cats. Hannah was amazing!! She recorded all of my cat's quirks and made sure he was comfortable. Highly recommend Cozy Cats Hotel! I will absolutely be back if I ever need to board my cat again!

I highly recommend Cozy Cats Hotel! I worked in a similar cat boarding facility for many years and I have very high standards when choosing where to board my cats. I have boarded my two cats here twice now and I had an excellent experience each time. The staff are extremely professional - they send daily updates and photos, are quick to respond to emails, and are accommodating to specific diets. I just took Milo and Poppy home and they are happy as can be :) thank you!

We just picked up our two fur babies from their week long stay at the Cozy Cat Hotel. Checking in and out went a lot easier than I was expecting. They did great a great job with keeping us informed on how things were going and getting pictures was an added bonus.

I love Cozy Cats Hotel. My cat Heizzy is very well taken care of. The hotel is very well maintained and very clean. I get updated postcards with pictures of how well Heizzy is doing while she is there. I really love Cozy Cats and I couldn't recommend this place more. Thank you to all the amazing staff that do such a great job!

I recently boarded my car at the new facility on Atlantic Ave. and I was very pleased with the services provided. My cat seemed to be happy and contented too. I will definitely use Cozy Cat again.

Cozy Cats Hotel is a wonderful place to board cats! I always travel without worry when I leave my cat in their care. They are able to provide additional playtime and treats and can administer medication. Their daily “postcards” and pictures sent every other day are greatly appreciated!

Every time we fetch our beloved cat from Cozy Cats he is calm, healthy and settles back at home with no problem….actually, I think he has fallen in love with the ladies that spoil and pamper him! Thank you to Stacy, Hannah and Amanda and all the helpers that make this experience such a delight for Tressie and gives us such peace of mind while away. The daily little photos and messages are also such a delight to receive! We could not confidently go away without you and what you do A VERY SINCERE THANK YOU

We had a great experience for our cats first time being boarded for over a week. They were very communicative while we were away with reassurance that all was well. Will plan to use them for all our boarding in the future!

We used Peak City Puppy during a recent family trip to the beach. Heather took wonderful care of our dogs and cat and provided photos and recaps after each visit. One of our dogs is very nervous when meeting new people but Heather gave her time and space to feel comfortable and gained her trust. Knowing that our fur babies were happy and in great care allowed to have a wonderful and stress-free vacation. We will definitely use Peak City again!

We just used Peak City Puppy for the second time and had another amazing experience. Lauren took care of our 4 year old Golden Retriever and 2 cats… one being an energetic and mischievous kitten. We were gone for 8 days and didn’t have service some of the time, so when we were able we had lovely updates and pics of our pets to catch up on. Lauren not only took care of our pets, but took out the trash and recycling! While we were gone Hurricane Debby came through and Lauren didn’t skip a beat. She had Willow out on her walks and also dried her off (and wasn’t annoyed when she got all goofy during this process lol) It has been so wonderful to have a great person watching our pets while we are gone. Lauren goes above and beyond and makes leaving town much less stressful. I’m also pretty sure Willow was a little depressed when we returned and Lauren wouldn’t be back!

We've been using dog walking services with Peak City Puppy for about a month now 3 days per week and are SO impressed and highly recommend them. We have have two young, large puppies and they love our dog walker, Courtney! One of our dogs is really shy and she's been so wonderful and patient with him and they are now besties :) The whole team is professional, their online portal for scheduling and payment and communication is so easy to use! We couldn't recommend them enough!

I used Peak City Puppy for the first time 2 weeks ago. They were phenomenal! Jenna and Jess were the ladies that took care of my 4 fur babies. From the "meet and greet" to each visit, they were very caring and professional. They let me know when they arrived, when they left, and sent me pictures with updates during each visit. I used the 30 minute visit and the 12 hour overnight since I have a senior dog who needs more care. Jess and Jenna provided the type of excellent care that gave me piece of mind on my trip. I would definitely use them again!

Peak City Puppy did an amazing job caring for our Boston Terrier and 2 cats for 5 days while we were out of town recently. Dwayne, Kristin and Erin treated our fur babies like they were their own. I was so impressed by the detailed updates, messages and pictures that I received after every visit. I love that PCP allows you to customize the timing and duration of visits. It helped our dog tremendously to have Kristin here for a full 2 hours each evening. I will definitely be using PCP for our future animals care needs, I recommend them wholeheartedly!!

We had such a great experience with Peak City Puppy! We were out of town for 2 weeks and needed care for our 2 labs. Angela immediately made us feel comfortable! Our older lab has anxiety issues and had to have unplanned abdominal surgery 2 weeks prior to our trip. Angela was very accommodating and made us feel at ease about leaving her. She sent pictures and videos everyday and it was obvious our puppies were very happy and very well taken care of. We were able to enjoy our trip without one bit of worry! We will definitely use Peak City and Angela again. I would highly recommend for any pet owner!

My first experience with Peak City puppy could not have been any better! I had just rescued a 6 year old American Bulldog when I was called into in-person work for several days. On very short notice, Peak City Puppy was able to match me with an in-their-home pet sitter for those days with morning drop-off and evening pick-up. I offered to pay the overnight rate since this was a custom request. My new pup got along great with the sitter’s other two dogs and didn’t want to leave each evening. They took such good care of him and provided updated with pictures throughout each day. It was just a wonderful experience and they alleviated any anxiety I had about leaving a dog who was just beginning to adjust to a new life outside of the rescue environment. They will be my choice next time, no question. I highly recommend Peak City Puppy and their pet sitting services!

We have been thrilled with the excellent care that Peak City Puppy has provided for our sweet dog. Our walker Cris has already formed a bond with her and I love getting updates and pictures after their walks. The on-line platform for requesting dates and services is very easy to use. We are looking forward to using Peak City Puppy for dog-sitting when we are out of town as well. A great locally owned service with very responsive, caring, reliable staff. I would highly recommend!

We use Peak City Puppy whenever we're out of town for a few days. Debbie and Erin have done such a great job taking care of our cats - Tofu and Miso! They send us updates every visit which reduces my anxiety of being away from my kitties haha. Peak City Puppy is very reliable and I would very much recommend them for any cat sitting needs!

I could not give Peak City Puppy higher praise! My pet sitter of many years canceled on me, last minute, before a planned trip - flights booked, car rental, parking - you name it. So I was left scrambling to find someone to care for my senior puppy while I was away. Jordan hustled to secure care in just a few days and Brandy & Ellen treated my girl as if she were their own. I am so grateful to the team and will book PCP for all my pet care in the future. Thank you!

I can’t say enough great things about Julie and her team at Faithful friends. The pet sitters who cared for my furry friends over the Thanksgiving holiday went above and beyond to ensure my pets were well-loved, comfortable, and happy while we were away. From daily updates and photos to their attention to detail, they truly made me feel at ease. My pets were relaxed and content when I returned, which speaks volumes about the quality of care they received. It’s clear they have a genuine passion for what they do, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I will absolutely be using their services again in the future. Highly recommended!

Wonderful experience using Faithful Friends to watch our pup while we were away for a couple of days. They provided lots of pictures and updates for each visit, and were very communicative about any questions or concerns. I would recommend them to anyone else needing high quality and trustworthy pet care.

I am thrilled to have found Faithful Friends! The process is so easy. The sitters are fantastic and so caring. I felt so comfortable leaving my older dog in their hands. The company is so well run and the wide array of services they offer is great! You will not regret giving them a call!

Faithful Friends saved the day for me! I can't recommend them more to watch my sweet doggie. I was stuck in a jam with a last minute cancellation with a dog sitter and they are complete heroes. They were able to set me up with a dog sitter meeting the next day and we met Julia. After meeting Julia, she is truly one in a million and a special pet loving human. Her love for my dog and the care she gave him is priceless. I can honestly say I will never use another service again and will recommend Faithful Friends to everyone I know. Thank you again for making magic happen!

I cannot express strongly enough my satisfaction with Faithful Friends Pet Sitting. I have an elderly dog who has never been kenneled and was I searching for a way to keep her in her normal environment during a 3 day absence. After extensive research I selected Faithful Friends and will use them in the future and recommend them to friends and clients. From the meet and greet visit through each visit while I was away, I received journals of exactly how she was doing complete with pictures and comments. They cared about my dog and home exactly as I do. Stellar service which is not common in today’s world. Thank you, thank you!!!

We had a great experience with Julie and her team! They were prompt to respond and ensured they knew all the important things to take care of our pup. We will use them again for sure.

Julie and the team were outstanding. Great communication. We felt really good going out of the country just after meeting Julie and our sitter, who, by the way, did an excellent job handling our bully breed (Rott). Daily check-ins with a lot of photos. The photos were not necessary every day but I am sure there are some who would like that. Maybe every other just to save yourselves a lot of labor and effort, but it was appreciated.

I was in desperate need of their services. They were able to find care for my dog within a few hours. Easy to work with, and kind. Making payment is easy and they also leave a journal so you will be at ease and with pictures of your pet! They exceeded all of my expectations!

Faithful friends was a huge help for us over the summer holiday season. They helped with our dogs, cat, lizard, and fish. The set up was easy and communication was very clear and calming. I will certainly use them again in the future and strongly recommend them if you're looking for in house care.

The faithful friends team has been great with last minute walks needs and showing my pup all the love when I can’t be home. With each visit they document what they did and send pictures along with it. Would definitely recommend partnering with faithful friends!

Olivia and her team have been absolute godsends for our baby, Thor. In the past, being at daycare was an overwhelmingly negative experience for him. He certainly didn’t fit into the generic mold for the massive commercial daycare facilities. However, he has THRIVED at Cary Kennels and always comes home happy and sleepy from playing all day. For anyone with anxious pups, we highly recommend utilizing this fantastic facility. We never anticipated a day where we could comfortably drop him off to socialize with other dogs and it means the world to us that we can finally give him the structure that he deserves during our work days. In addition, Olivia always makes a point to give us midday text updates. It truly has changed all of our lives for the better and we’re immensely grateful. Thanks for all y’all do! We will be faithful customers for life.

Fantastic place and staff. My family and pets were displaced from Hurricane Helene. We needed a place to board our two small dogs (dachshund and jack/terrier mutt) and every place in the Cary area denied us because we had no paperwork. We were unable to get our paperwork because of the flooding and our vet clinic couldn’t be contacted because they were underwater as well. This place not only took our dogs in but helped us get in contact with a place that would immediately take us to get a quick bordatella shot (prob wrong spelling). Without their help, we would’ve really been up the creek trying to find a place. They also discounted their rate to help us out. I can’t say enough great things about their staff and the help they offered.

We absolutely love Cary Kennels & Spa! Cary Kennels was recommended to us after we searched high and low for a boarding facility (and day care) for our two English bulldogs. Our bullies have never been able to feel “at home” at other boarding places, and always seemed to have poor, negative experiences. We have had such disappointing experiences with other local kennels as our dogs would be upset during pickups, and severe irritations to their skins (due to being in soiled kennels). Cary Kennels is the perfect match and our bullies are always very well cared for. Cary Kennels is smaller, allowing more one on one times, and less chaotic for my bullies as they never could adjust to larger day cares/boarding. Olivia and Brittany are amazing and always ensures our babies are settled in (and loved endlessly). Each time we take them in for a visit, our babies are eager to get inside to see Olivia and the staff. We highly recommend Cary Kennels and Spa, especially if your dogs tend to have anxiety issues, or tend levitate to smaller, cozier environments that includes a lot of cuddles.

Cary Kennels & Spa provided top-notch service to our energetic pup, Velma! Velma usually frequents Camp Bow Wow for her daycare and boarding needs, but with a recent injury to her leg that required her to be on a sedative and kept in a low-energy environment, we were referred to Cary Kennels & Spa by Camp Bow Wow for some special needs boarding request. The week before our trip, we reached out to Cary Kennels & Spa and spoke with Olivia who was extremely friendly and patient with me to explain how their boarding services work, especially considering all of Velma's special needs. They ensured us she would be kept in a low-energy environment but with plenty of opportunities to go outside for potty breaks and some human-pup interaction. They were able to administer her medications and help ensure she has a speedy recovery. We just picked her up and everything seems great. I am very thankful for Cary Kennels & Spa in how quickly they were able to get us situated with Velma's boarding needs at the last minute and graciously accommodate our needs. Everyone I interacted with at Cary Kennels & Spa were extremely friendly and informative. I did not feel like a burden with our requests and Velma seemed to have a lovely time (even with her injury). I will definitely be returning to Cary Kennels & Spa for additional boarding needs, as needed, and even to check out the spa! Velma gets nervous with bath time and I am thinking they might be a great low-energy option for her bath needs. Thanks again!

Y'all were amazing with our two old boys today. They look fabulous! They look like they are 10 years younger. Would definitely be coming back.

We used Cary Kennels for a long stay while our family was in transition to NC. Our puppy had a fantastic time, and it really made us feel comfortable that we received lots of updates and photos. She was regularly bathed brushed out, and even got a fresh trim before we picked her up! All of the staff truly love animals and show a great sense of pride in their business. We will definitely be back for boarding in the future!

We really lucked out with Cary Kennels and Spa! It was actually suggested to us by another dog boarding facility and we will for sure be using Cary Kennels every time we go out of town now! This was our first time leaving our two pups for more than a night somewhere and at first I was very nervous, but after seeing how happy they were after their first “test day” and meeting Diane, all fears were gone! My husband and I could enjoy our trip with our friends knowing that Jax and Piper were very well taken care of! Perfect place for boarding or for dropping off for daycare! 10/10 Recommend!

Diane at Cary Kennels & Spa came highly recommended to us from our dog trainer. Our dog, Charlie is a rambunctious 1.5 year old Golden Retriever. Charlie is known to be smart, curious and very mischievous. For these reasons, Charlie needed an experienced dog handler and someone who can be his leader during the day.Diane has provided just that. One of the things that I love most about Cary Kennels and Spa is the small feeling of the facility. I know that when I drop Charlie off, he will be in good hands until the second that I pick him up. I also enjoy the fact that I receive real and honest feedback about his behavior as Diane enjoys getting to know her canine customers. We are extremely fortunate to find Diane! Do not hesitate to give her a shot as your pup will thank you later!

My dog needed to be boarded for the 1st time in over a year. The smaller atmosphere and more personal feel of this place was perfect for him having just come off of two leg surgeries over the last 9 months. Diane provided the perfect setting for me to leave him for a week with the piece of mind that he would get enough one on one time and not be overburdened with any social anxieties or too many dogs. My happy pup was sad to leave, but I'm so glad that I found a great place for him to go anytime I need to leave town. Thanks again.

We use Cary Kennels for both doggy daycare and boarding when we go out of town, and our dog loves it. It gives her a chance to be social with other dogs and she always comes home worn out from playing! Best of all, I feel like they really know our dog well and enjoy spending time with her. Highly recommended!

If only there were more stars to give!! Nicolette is the absolute best! She started caring for our dog four years ago when she was just a puppy. We can't even say Nicolette's name in the house or our dog is wagging her tail like crazy and thinking she gets to go have a sleepover at Nicolette's! Leaving town is only possible knowing our sweet dog is in the care of Nicolette . She is dependable, flexible and absolutely adored by our dog.

Nicolette provides by far the best pet care I have experienced. I don’t feel guilty leaving my dog Beau with her… he loves her and gets so excited when I pull up at her house. She is dependable and really seems to care. So glad I found her!! She deserves more than 5 stars!!

We've know Nicolette for over 4 years! We needed to find a reliable beast sitter for our dog and 2 cats. She has been a life saver and is great at what she does! She is literally the only reason we have the ability to leave town without worrying about our 4 pawed children lol. If we could give her 10 stars we would and our beasties would give her 4 paws for sure!

Nicolette is the absolute best. She has taken care of our dogs numerous times and they love her. She is 100% reliable and trustworthy. I highly recommend her.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nikki has a way with all pets especially my dog, Jinx. We have used her for years now snd have no worries when leaving town. He is ALWAYS in good hands. Thanks!

The fries were a little stale

We have used Camp Caine a handful of times now for long stays (over a month once) and also short overnight stays. Our two girls love it and always enthusiastically go inside and come out happy and healthy.

Fabulous team of people who have taken great care of my dogs over many years! Both daycare and boarding.

We were a little concerned about finding a place for our rescue pup while we were away because she had been abused and was very scared of new people. So we did an evaluation and an overnight to see how she would do at Camp Canine. We were so happy with this place that it's going to be our permanent goto. She seemed to love it and the pictures of her during her activities while we were gone were fantastic and made our whole family feel good about the choice we made!

My dogs literally jump on the door to get into Camp Canine asap every morning at drop off.... And they are old, senior-age dogs! Lol they love it!

Love this place. And so do our dogs going back 20 years.

Great folks who really care about our dogs!

Good food, service, very polite and humble owners.

Nice people!

Perfect location to USA Baseball National Training Facility. The staff was pleasant and our dog loved the experience. We are Camp Bow Wow customers across the nation as we travel for baseball. Every experience has been incredible! This visit was for camp and enrichment! Definitely will be back ♥️ Thank you for loving on our Deuce!

My dog had a blast at his interview day. I hate how young they require them to be fixed that could be a health hazard to your beloved pet. The place looked clean, and the cameras are fun to watch. I would recommend

I have been taking my dogs to this location for about a year now and I highly recommend CampBowWow to anyone. My dogs love it, they have the best time playing for hours with their friends. The counselors are amazing and I can tell they really enjoy their job - thank you for all that you do for our pups! Laurie is amazing, my husky loves to sing "Good morning" to her every day at drop off :) They have also started to offer bath, brush, and dry services and every time that I've used them I've been impressed. My dogs look, feel, and smell amazing! 15/10 would highly recommend bringing your dog here. They also have an app where you can view live webcam feed to check in on your dog and schedule daycare, boarding, etc.

Very organized and convenient daycare provider. Pricing is reasonable, and workers are always pleasant. Great opportunity for our dog to get some socialization and time away from the routine. And of course the live video feeds are comforting and captivating.

Camp Bow Wow Cary is the best place to care for your, and mine, dog(s)! The staff love each and every dog as their own. Our dog has spent daycare and boarding time at this location for 7 years, he always comes home happy and sleepy so you know they’ve had plenty of playtime. They offer fun seasonal activities which are fun for them and you get a cute memory item. They offer bathing and other personal one on one activities. I highly recommend Cary Camp Bow Wow!!

I rescued my boy Spot about a year ago and he came to me with a TON of anxiety! He was afraid of everyone and everything! After I started taking him to Camp Bow Wow, he began to relax a bit and gained some confidence! The staff is so attentive to all of the campers and really go above and beyond! It was his birthday a few weeks ago and I mentioned that when I dropped him off. They asked if he could have treats, and I said of course! I didn't expect what they actually did for him! When I picked him up later that day, I was handed a bag of B-day presents for him, including chew toys, a ball, and treats, AND a B-day card with a few pictures of him having fun that day, that everyone had signed! What an amazing gesture by a truly amazing staff! We moved from Cary to DT Raleigh a few months ago, and it's not terribly convenient to take him there anymore, but I'll never take him anywhere else and I'll drive a little further to know that he's well taken care of when he's not with me!

We just completed the interview our dog which is required before boarding. Everyone was welcoming to us and our pet. Our pet seemed happy when we picked her up. The process was very easy. We loved the picture they took of our dog too! We have booked a boarding stay.

The staff seem to genuinely care about the dogs and their owners. Our dog Esteban loves Camp Bow Wow and gets very excited when our car makes the turn onto Woodwinds Industrial Court. His whole personality has changed for the better since he began going to doggy day care. Our dog had been abused prior to our adopting him almost 2 years ago. He had been used as a bait dog and has the equivalent of PTSD. When we adopted him he was on two different anxiety prescriptions and we have now been able to wean him from one of them completely. Both my husband and I credit Camp Bow Wow in Cary for this huge transition. Our dog used to be afraid of other dogs and now he can't wait for his Camp Bow Wow days. When we arrive we can watch him on their large TV screen and we can see how excited he is to greet the staff members and his doggy friends. The staff here is just incredible. They have created a very warm and inviting atmosphere for everyone's beloved dogs. My husband and I feel that he is safe and very well cared for. We recommend Camp Bow Wow Cary to anyone who has a dog. Especially if your dog has anxiety issues or comes from an abused situation. You will see a difference!!!! UPDATE March 2023 We have added another special needs dog to our family. Eleanor was also a "bait dog" and suffered severe physical and mental injuries. When we adopted our rescue pitty, we made sure to bring her to Camp Bow Wow Cary when we dropped off her brother, Esteban. The staff went out of their way to make her comfortable and allow her to get to know them before we began leaving her there. Her progress has been amazing. A special thank you to Taylor, Jamie, Jordan, Summer Martin, Laurie Adams, and Megan Yates for making our little girl feel safe. I know that there are many other staff members who are also responsible for her well-being and I am sorry I do not have all of their names. This place is wonderful. We highly recommend them!!! Update: 12/22/2023 Hands down the very best place to leave our beloved dogs. My husband and I drive 45 minutes one way to get to Camp Bow Wow in Cary even though there are other doggy day care centers much closer to where we live. It is well worth it. The staff treats every fur baby as if they are theirs. And they excel in taking care of special needs dogs and both of our dogs are. My husband and I highly recommend Camp Bow Wow in Cary. It is clean, organized, and a very safe place to leave your dogs.

Everything about Camp Bow Wow is amazing. The staff is wonderful and treated my dog as well as I do. She had a great time and made some pup friends, after she got used to being around so many dogs at once! She's a shy girl, but came out of her shell eventually. Highly recommend their services for day care and boarding!

Boarded my dog here for a long weekend and at first everything seemed fine as I was able to watch her on the cameras, then Sunday the dogs weren’t taken out to the play rooms. Monday morning and afternoon the dogs still weren’t out in the playrooms. I had asked a friend to come pick up my dog just to save us a stop as we were driving back from NY. My friend said when he picked her up the leash was soaking wet, but he grabbed her and walked out. The staff made no mention of anything amiss, just gave her over to him. He said outside he smelled the leash and it was clearly urine soaked. My dog was taken home and when she got out, my friend noticed his whole back seat smelt terrible and was very wet and he realized that she was soaked in urine. We were still driving home but my husband called Camp bow wow to see what was going on. They said she must have laid in urine outside and that dogs need a bath after boarding. She was very dismissive. There is no way our 9 year old dog would be walked outside and then just lay in a puddle of urine! And since I was watching the cameras and didn’t see any dogs in the playrooms, clearly another dog didn’t get excited and pee on her while playing or something. I’m left to assume they never walked her, she was neglected and that forced her to pee in the kennel and they just grabbed her and gave her to my friend without trying to clean her up at all. I’m worried that my dog was left in a crate all Sunday and Monday morning with no attention. If an accident did happen I would expect the staff to try and dry her off and give some kind of explanation while someone is picking her up. The lack of explanation and dismissive attitude seems like there was animal neglect and abuse, I would never bring my dog back here again.

I’ve boarded two dogs at the Pet Palace in Cary, NC for several years now. They were referred to me by a friend as well, and I have been so happy with their services. They are friendly, know my dogs, call if there are any issues and they have a good service offering. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for doggie daycare, boarding, and grooming.

New client whose veterinarian recommended Pet Palace as a dog daycare with a more structured environment. Have been pleasantly surprised that a dog daycare with limited playtime has had a positive effect on both of my dogs. Jami and all of the staff are kind, considerate, competent in handling the dogs, attentive to clients needs and overall pleasant to deal with. Could not end this review without including Redd who is the groomer for my two dogs, She is understanding and patient when working with dogs that are a little uncomfortable in a new environment. She finds the time to discuss how the appointment went and what could be done to improve the experience. The final results of her exceptional grooming techniques were clearly present when seeing my two beautiful dogs after their appointment. Thank you to everyone for making us feel so welcome. Susan, Mika and Jackson

Best place ever to board your dog or for daycare. The staff is so knowledgeable and genuinely cares about your pet. My dog LOVES coming here and always has a great time. The staff is incredible and the place is so clean and nice. My dog loves playing in the pool here. Highly recommend!!

I can't say enough positive things about the Pet Palace!!! I have not had great experiences with grooming places since I moved down here in 2021, and have been searching for a place that really GETS dogs. This place does! I visited the Palace a few weeks back to get a look and feel of the place and after speaking with the front desk staff and one of the groomers, Redd, I decided to book an appointment. I told them about my dog's anxiety, and how she can not be put into a kennel. She will literally hyperventilate. She has sensitive front paws ( not uncommon for a lot of dogs ). She has luxating patellas. Redd listened, took in every concern I had, and after picking her up from her appointment yesterday, I could not believe how calm my dog was. I walked in and she was just getting her bandana on and she was happy!! AND, she had the best grooming job she has had since I came to NC. Seriously, if you are looking for a GREAT place to have your dog groomed, this is the place! Thank you Redd and the staff at Pet Palace!!

My buddy Commander goes here for boarding and grooming. The Pet Palace team never complains about him and any time we can view him via the boarding cams, he is having a blast with new friends during social time. The grooming team is very kind and efficient. Lastly, the facility keeps close tabs on vet records, so I know the other pets he is interacting with are also safe and healthy. Thank you team!~

My first time taking my young labradoodle to Pet Palace and I’ll never go back again. They abused my dog with cuts on his legs & ears and said he was “too energetic” for them. If someone has any recommendations for a decent groomer in the area, please let me know.

First time visiting Pet Palace for a grooming appointment for our 3.5 year old golden retriever. Laura did an awesome job!! Our little fur ball looks like a new pup. We will definitely be back again 😁 …

Our fur baby has been going to Pet Palace since she was 8 months old. It's been 4 years now. I can't be more grateful to the staff at Pet Palace. Jamie and her team - Ava, Emily, Ronnie, Emma, Christopher and Brian have taken care of Arya so well. They have addressed all our needs. If you call, they will always respond and look up your fur baby. I haven't found a better and more reliable boarding than Pet Palace. The staff are very kind and friendly. Additionally their grooming is great. They do a wonderful job. Its certainly a Palace for fur babies.

Please do not take your pet to Pet Palace. Our dog was abused while he was there for a week. No phone call at all to inform us of what happened to the injuries he suffered while in their care. This should have been a sign! On more than one occasion we have asked for his nails to be cut or him to receive a bath and they charge us, but do not provide the service. This place was recommended to us by our neighbor, but we will never go there again. Every time we post the injury, it gets taken down. Let’s you know they are hiding how the abuse people’s pets. He was in so much pain. The picture is of his neck area. They provided no answer as to how this could happened.

We’ve been going to PP for both daycare and boarding for over a year now. We have 2 dogs that absolutely love love going. Our older 4.5 GSP has been rough to board previously due to some anxiety and allergy issues. She has had nothing of that at PP. We love how they care for and truly know their personalities and try to keep their training and manners in check as we do. At Valentine’s Day I just beamed at the gifts they sent home from daycare. Now if this is not a picture of happy dogs, I don’t know what else is!
