Michele is a great pet sitter for my dog Charley! She keeps me informed and sends pictures. I came home to an immaculate home! I hope she will come back again.
Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!
Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!
Theresa is a reliable and experienced pet sitter in addition to being great at keeping house! She was very accommodating in meeting me & the dogs in advance of our sit, which proved she is a true pet person: attentive to my dogs and eager to know how they should be cared for. She kept me posted while I was away & I returned to a tidy home & happy dogs! I highly recommend her!!
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
Joanna and David were wonderful sitters for our dog Broderick and our apartment. Before starting to sit for us they took time to come and meet Broderick which we were very appreciative of. During their time sitting for Broderick we got great updates every day and wonderful photos of our pup, and they were very responsive whenever needed. When we got back home we found a happy puppy, healthy plants, and a spotlessly clean apartment - they had even taken the time to wash sheets and towels and left us a kind thank you note. We would have them sit for us again in a heartbeat!
Truly The Best House sitters Ever!!! Shannon, Travis and their son were absolutely terrific. I’m so lucky to have had the genuine pleasure of meeting them. Very warm, generous, open and loving people. My dog Wolfie usually barks at men who come in the house and I was a little worried about how he would be with Travis, but I had nothing to fear because within seriously 1 minute from Travis walking in the door, Wolfie was giving him kisses on the lips! I was so happy to receive their updates and photos and videos of my pets while I was away. They really went above and beyond taking terrific care of my many, many furry and feathered friends. When I got home, the place was sparkling clean, all linens laundered and beds made and they even left me sweet little surprises. I would welcome The Exums back with open arms anytime and highly recommend them.
Delphine was amazing. All 3 of our fur babies took an instant liking to her, which is very unusual of them. We right away knew both our cats and our dog would be happy with her. We came back to relaxed and happy pets and a clean house. We think we found our ‘go to’ house sitter with Delphine. We would love to have her over again.
First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.

I love sending my dog to Heads or Tails! He’s always very shy and doesn’t warm up to people easily and within minutes he always is comfortable and happy to be there. Laura has the magic touch and makes me feel at ease leaving Douglas with her. She’s always sending updates and pictures. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone who needs someone to watch their dog!
Laura is seriously the best! Our doodle Coco loves going to her house! It’s so nice to have someone reliable and trustworthy to watch our fur baby. We have complete peace of mind when we travel internationally. Highly highly recommend - I wouldn’t want to leave our baby with anyone else! Thanks Laura for being the best pet sitter we appreciate you! Oh and she also lets coco share a pillow with her - how can you get any better than that! :)
Laura and her dog family are amazing! She truly loves dogs and it shows through her care of not only her own dogs but also those she is around. Rugger (4 year old male doberman) LOVES his stay at Laura’s. He comes home tired and happy. He starts wagging his little tail as we round the corner to her place as he knows he’s about to have a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend Heads or Tails Pet Care to anyone looking for someone to love their pet like their own while they are away.
We absolutely love leaving our pup with Laura! We got Brooks last winter and had been so worried about leaving him when we traveled. But luckily we found Laura! She let us come by to meet her dogs and showed us where Brooks would be staying beforehand I felt totally comfortable leaving him in her care for our week vacation. She sent plenty of pics and videos everyday and let us know how he was doing. We leave Brooks with Laura whenever we travel and she has even offered to watch him for an extended stay for our upcoming wedding/honeymoon and we know he'll be in great hands!
Our pup Ralph loves going to stay with Laura and the other doggos! She always sends pictures and videos to keep me updated on how he is doing and treats Ralph as if he was her own. I love knowing that he is so well taken care of when he is with Laura. He is always exhausted when he comes home because of all the fun he has! So happy we found Laura!
Laura is so good with our pups! I never have to worry when they are with her! My pups love playing in her yard and always come home exhausted in the best way! She sends me updates multiple times a day, and is flexible for pick up and drop off!
My two pups Bandit and Dorian stayed with Laura for a few days this month, and I am so thankful I found her! She was wonderful and very communicative, sent photos daily and was available to answer any questions or concerns I had. Really glad to have someone I trust for the boys when I have to leave town :)
Our dog had a great time with Laura for her long weekend stay! Laura made the process so easy by offering pick up and drop off. She also sent so many cute pictures to keep us updated on what our dog was up to. Will definitely ask her again soon and recommend to friends!
Laura always treats our dog Drako as her own. It gives us so much comfort knowing he’s in her care and feels at home. Not to mention her knowledge and confidence with dogs and caring for them allowed us to enjoy our vacation with minimal stress or worry. Leaving your pet with Laura is leaving your pet with a friend. Something you can’t get at a regular boarding facility.
Laura has been a lifesaver when it comes to dog sitting. My boy would stay with her when I worked (long shifts) and she would always send pictures/ updates. Archie was always so excited to go over Laura's and always came home tired out. I'm sad to be moving and can only hope to find a sitter as wonderful as Laura.
I was so worried about leaving my girl while I visited family for Christmas but Paws on Pine helped me feel reassured with each visit and updates which always included photos and videos! Seeing my girl happy and loved on allowed me to enjoy my trip guilt free. I highly recommend them if you have a pet that doesn’t love traveling but needs love, like mine!
Heather is amazing! She had her business in NYC and moved it to Charlotte NC after the pandemic. She is truly the best of the best and highly professional. She is a true animal lover and takes exceptional care of my dog, Oliver. After every walk she provides a detailed update and lots of pictures. After dealing with inconsistency and lack of professionalism from multiple walkers with Rover, I went a different route. Heather has a legitimate business, is highly trained in her work with animals, keeps to a high level of respect and service and is ALWAYS consistent and communicative. You could not get a better walker for your pup.
I highly recommend Heather and Paws On Pine! Heather has taken care of my Frenchie multiple times when I am out of town and I have also used her services for dog walking. She is amazing! You can honestly tell that she truly loves animals and cares for them as if they are her own. In addition to the care, she has excellent communication providing updates and pictures through the day. I know my boy is safe and happy when he is with Heather. Thank you!
After struggling with unreliable pet sitters, a friend recommended Heather to us and I’m so grateful we found her. Before we left for vacation, Heather came to visit to learn the care routine and get to know the cats. She asked many detailed questions and showed diligence. Heather sent detailed updates at every visit with multiple pictures without being asked. The litter robot had some technical issues and she made sure to resolve them and keep us informed. The kitties were so well taken care of and the peace of mind not worrying about their care while on vacation was so appreciated. Heather clearly has a passion for her work and you won’t find a better or kinder caregiver.
Heather is awesome with Tucker. She takes him on walks, plays fetch, and even picks him up when I am in a bind! I highly recommend Paws on Pine.
Heather takes the BEST care of our geriatric dog. She is attentive to his needs, gets him his meds on time, and communicates daily how he’s doing/if there are any concerns! Can’t recommend her enough. Thanks for everything!
High paws for Heather at Paws on Pine!! Heather sent daily updates with photos of her playing with my cat who seemed very settled and happy when we returned. She made sure he had plenty of food and fresh water. Heather even asked what type of water to use. She made sure my plants were watered daily as directed. And she pulled in a heavy package that was delivered unexpected. Heather was professional in every way. I fully trust her to look after my pet and plants while I’m away.
We love paws on pine! Heather takes great care of our kitty. She always sends lots of photos (action shots, model shots). He also receives lots of love and scratches. Whenever we go away, I know our kitty is in good hands.
I use this service for dog walking and highly recommend it!! Heather is reliable, professional and quick to respond especially to last minute requests. You can tell she is in the business for the love of the dogs; not the $ which is everything. My dog always enjoys walks with her, and I love the photos she sends of him. There is no one else I would trust more with my dog than Heather and Paws on Pine🐶❤️
Heather is the best!! She has taken care of our two Frenchie’s multiple times and they love her. Heather takes them on multiple walks, sends us adorable pictures/videos, and detailed updates throughout the day. She's friendly, trustworthy, and very passionate about her job. Very grateful to have found someone who we can trust. Would definitely recommend!
Sometimes you just luck out and happen to find the best pet sitters via a google search! Heather and Amber have been a God send since I moved to the area. They are caring, responsive, attentive. I couldn’t do life without them. My cat Oliver and I thank you! Know that what you do is a gift ❤️
I’ve used Pit Stop for several trips over the past few years and am always so thankful for their help. They care for our pets like their own, making our time away that much more relaxing. Any issues that arise, I know they’re able to address and take care of them just as I would. Special thanks to Tracy who sits for us quite a bit and is just awesome. Thank you Heather and team! Our little family loves you guys so much.
Pit Stop is the only service we trust leaving our dogs with. Jules and Beckett are incredible with our dogs, who are not always easy. Everyone who has watched our dogs has been highly experienced with caring for animals. The company as a whole does a wonderful job of communication during pet sitting stays. Cannot recommend high enough Pit Stop.
We are so grateful to know that our puppy is so well taken care of by someone who truly cares about the work she does. She has the best time with Heather and is always so excited to see her. We love the regular photo updates, attention to detail and exceptional care that Pit Stop Pet Services offers. Thank you Heather for loving our pup as much as we do!
Heather is incredible! We have a dog and two cats and she takes such good care of them every time we are out of town! She sends us sweet photos of our babies when she visits and she makes sure they have everything they need. She even puts on music for the dog when there are fireworks or thunder. We highly recommend Pit Stop Pet Services for any pet care needs you have!!
If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! Heather and her team of PHENOMENAL experts are exactly what I was looking for here in CLT. We have 3 crazy animals and they love Heather and her crew. They keep the house looking nice and lived in, communicate effectively, send tons of photos and updates, I've had ZERO issues since booking with them and more importantly, my fur children LOVE the sitters. You can absolutely know that they are in the best care. I truly appreciate this wonderful little company because this is more than just a job, they treat pets like their own.
Pit Stop Pet Services is the best service for pets. We have used them regularly for a couple years now for in home sitting, pet boarding, dog walks and cat visits. Heather is always reliable and we never hesitate to use them. We know we can fully trust the health and care of our babies with their care. You book visits on a convenient app and get gps updates and always the cutest photos to brighten my day when I am not home. Excellent service!
Heather and the PIt Stop team have been trusted caretakers of our Beagle/Basset mix for the last 5 plus years. Heather is extremely responsive, professional, and the dogs she takes care of are all well tended to and given the love they need when their owners are at work or on vacation. It gives us a lot of comfort that she takes such close personal care of the pets she is watching over and we greatly prefer using her on longer trips vs. putting our dog into a kennel. Would recommend Pit Stop to anyone who wants their pets to have intimate care while they are away. She treats our dog like she was one of her own!
Pit Stop Pet is the best! My Pomeranian is a shy, skittish little guy who does not take well to new people. Heather took the time to get him to warm up to her and now she sends me videos of how excited he is when she comes in the door! She is the only person I trust to leave him with overnight too. She is great about giving updates and sending pictures so I always feel at ease knowing he’s with her. Heather and her team are great for quick walks, daily visits, and overnight sitting. Great services with reasonable prices!
If you have the chance to use Heather and her crew at Pit Stop Pet Services, do it!! I am a travel nurse who's been on assignment in the Charlotte area for the past 6 months. Heather and Jules have faithfully accommodated my schedule and NEVER missed a walk! They are extremely reliable and they even came out during a hurricaine while I worked my 12 hour shift! My dog always looks so happy in the picture updates they send. You can tell they really care about their clientele! They communicate any concerns and have even medicated my guy for me when I needed them to. I can't thank these guys enough and I definitely can't recommend them enough!!
for YEARS we have brought our dogs to Noda Bark and Board. The staff is so sweet, caring and genuine. They take good care of our dogs and we can tell because they are excited when they get there and excited when they see staff members. If you aren't going to NB+B get on it!
Love, love, LOVE NoDa Bark and Board!! They take amazing care of our pup for daycare and boarding. The drop off and pick up process is quick, which is great when I’m in a rush. The dogs have a ton of room to play, and they all clearly love being there. Our pup loves Bark and Board so much that he is in full tail-wagging mode as soon as he realizes that’s where we are headed in the morning. Pro tip: Occasionally, daycare gets full for the day, or is closed to accommodate boarding. Arrive early for daycare, and check social media for day daycare availability, on days that are likely to be popular boarding days like holidays and long weekends.
The NoDa B&B team are awesome! They are always excited to see their canine friends and my pup loves going! Nice, clean, convenient facility!
You will not find a better day care in Charlotte with staff that genuinely care for your dog. While they don’t have “puppachinos” or “pumpkin spice blow outs” for an additional cost…they do have people loving your dogs and watching them carefully. I’ll take that any day over the eye candy. Making sure they are safe and with the appropriate play group. I have never been concerned with my dog when he came home. He’s always in the same condition as I left him. Just extra tired 😉
My dog and I love it here. Get here early (before 7:30) though for daycare.
I’ve been using this place for years with two different dogs (first one passed). 5 stars because my dogs have always been obsessed with it — and we’ve gone to other places when they’ve been booked up. My current dog comes home from daycare exhausted and stays that way until the next day. They have also taken steps recently to make clients feel more connected, such as thank you emails after boarding overnight. They don’t have the bells and whistles of cameras to observe them during the day, but I don’t feel like I need those things and my dog shows me his preference where I wouldn’t seek anywhere else over something as small as that.
My dogs are treated with love and care, could not ask for better.
We were looking for a place to board our pup while visiting Charlotte. In calling for information, the person who answered the phone (I think her name was Jordan) was excessively curt and rude. They are not currently accepting new clients (which could easily be posted on their website), which is fine, but the rudeness was unnecessary.
We love it here and have been happy during our three+ years there. Our little pup loves playing with her friends and the staff is beyond caring and kind.
Our pup loves day care here! They are affordable, amazing with the dogs, provide consistent fun for our fur baby, and are extremely accommodating and flexible. And they post photos of your pup on their Instagram so you can stalk your furry child while you’re at work or out of town!
I can’t recommend this dog Hakuna Matata enough! When we first started, my dog (Mimi) was very shy and hesitant around both the trainers and other dogs. But thanks to their patience and expertise, my pup quickly started to come out of their shell. Michael, in particular, is absolutely wonderful. You can tell he truly loves his job and pours his heart into working with the dogs. His calm, caring demeanor made all the difference in helping my dog feel comfortable and confident. The progress we've made is incredible, and I’m so grateful to the entire team for their dedication. If you're looking for a training program that not only gets results but also prioritizes the well-being of your dog, this is the place to go!
Hakuna Matata is amazing!!! We HIGHLY recommend their training for your pup! We have full trust with Mike, Joselyn and all the trainers at Hakuna Matata! They truly care about your pup and take amazing care of them as if they are their own. The amount of time, effort and care they put into the training is comforting and it is shown through the results. Additionally, they offer boarding and daycare as well which is equally as amazing as the training! We love taking our pup to boarding and daycare at Hakuna Matata because we know our pup will get full attention, love, care and also reinforcement training. They also send tons of photos and videos of your pup at boarding/daycare, which is an added bonus! Hakuna Matata is truly one of a kind and we can’t recommend them enough to any dog owner!
I love this company! We brought our 7 year old Goldendoodle and our fresh 4 month old Bernedoodle to Hakuna Matata for board and train 2 weeks and the customer service and kindness exceeded our expectations! The whole staff are SO loving towards the animals and each of them really do an awesome hands on job! Not to mention the amount of content I got of my pups showing me what they were working on and their improvements was reassuring and heartwarming. I appreciate that they come to you after training and very patiently walk you through how to keep it up at home! 10/10 will recommend to anyone who asks me!🩷
We had an amazing experience with Hakuna Matata Dog Training! We worked with Mike, who was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with our dog, Brew. He made sure to work at Brew's pace, which really helped build trust and confidence throughout the process. Mike communicated with us every step of the way, keeping us informed and involved in Brew's progress. We're excited to send Brew back for boarding and daycare in the future, knowing he's in safe hands with Mike and the rest of the team. Highly recommend to anyone looking to strengthen their bond with their dog!
From the get-go, Hakuna Matata’s dog training customer service has been amazing. Their knowledge and passion for working with dogs is evident from the start. Our dog, Milo, is a high-energy pup who was struggling with leash pulling and had began to “herd” and lunge towards cars on our walks. After training with Mike, we noticed a huge improvement. We appreciate their personalized approach to understand Milo’s training needs and temperaments. Not only did trainer Mike work with Milo, but also he equipped us with the right tools and knowledge to continue Milo’s training at home. Our pup is still too smart for his own good sometimes, but we now have a better understanding of his behavior and how to approach it in an effective way. We might be biased, but Mike and Joselyn and their team at Hakuna Matata dog training are the best of the best!
Hakuna Matata is AMAZING! We have a four year old doodle that had picked up some bad manners and the leash pulling (she was walking us) and leash aggression were two of our biggest concerns. After a great intro call, we sent her there for two weeks of training. During those two weeks, both Mike and Joselyn were fantastic about sending us updates and we couldn’t believe the progress our girl was making. Upon completion, Mike came and spent five hours working with us on everything Luna had learned and how we could continue working with her. I could have cried when we went out and were able to pass other dogs without Luna barking and pulling. We continue to send Luna weekly for doggie day care and she gets SO excited when we turn onto their street. We also just boarded with them for the first time and it is so nice to know Luna is at a place she loves so much and is well taken care of. We would and do recommend Hakuna Matata to anyone who is thinking about training. It has made our lives, and lunas, so much better especially since we have been able to take her more places :)
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Hakuna Matata Dog Training and their incredible trainers! They’ve completely transformed our dog into the well-behaved, calm, and obedient companion we’ve always hoped for. Before starting training, our dog struggled with barking, leash pulling, and inconsistent obedience. Thanks to the expertise and dedication of the Hakuna Matata team, he now listens to commands with ease, walks beautifully on a leash, and is so much calmer in all kinds of situations. Even his barking has dramatically reduced! The trainers were not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly kind and patient throughout the entire process. They tailored the training to fit our dog’s unique personality and needs, which made all the difference. It’s clear they truly care about the dogs (and their owners!) they work with. Hakuna Matata has made such a positive impact on our lives, and we’re forever grateful for their hard work and guidance. If you’re looking for top-notch dog training services, look no further. They are truly amazing at what they do! Thank you, Hakuna Matata, for helping us enjoy the best version of our dog. We couldn’t be happier with the results! --Deveney Family
There are not enough incredible things I can say…we LOVE everyone at Hakuna Matata! Our now 1 year old male golden retriever, Harvey, did the 2 week board and train program back in March when he was about 9 months old. Harvey is so strong and easily distracted…this made simple walks and off leash opportunities very stressful for us. He would pull us down the road and was regularly distracted by anything and everything outside. As with all puppies, his energy was very hard to manage sometimes and he was constantly overstimulated. We did basic commands with him at home, but were out of our scope when it came to all of his other behaviors. We heard about Hakuna Matata from a work friend and began our research. Harvey is like our son and we love him so much, so there was no chance we were going to just trust anyone with him. We were so impressed with Joselyn and Mike during our phone consultation - their knowledge and passion for what they do is so evident and after just one call, I knew they would care for him well. During his board and train program, we got numerous updates throughout the day along with photos and videos to show his progress. Joselyn and Mike were both so responsive and answered all of our questions and concerns. When Mike brought him back to our house at the end of the program, he spent very intentional time with us walking through what Harvey had learned and how we, as his people, can best support and reinforce his training. Harvey was a completely different dog, in the best way. It has completely changed our relationship with him, but he absolutely still kept his silly and goofy side. (I was always a little weary that he would become a robot dog, but that was not AT ALL the case.) Mike and Joselyn are open to texts when we’ve had questions on how to redirect a specific behavior. Harvey now boards there when we go out of town and gets lots of love, play time, and reinforcement! Harvey is our whole world and there is no one we trust more than Hakuna Matata. We truly cannot recommend them more.
We heard about this amazing training team from friends and we’re not disappointed! They took our Corgi for two weeks and sent us updates on how he was doing daily. Once he was ready to come home, they brought him back to us and talked us through the methods, how to use the e-collar and even helped us perform our first walk with him. They are always available for questions and our dog loves going back for boarding. Worth every penny!
Words cannot express how happy we are with our big boy’s training and growth at Hakuna Matata Dog Care & Training, LLC! From the time we dropped him off we felt at peace, even though our hearts broke for leaving him for a two week overnight training. Michael and his entire training staff posted and sent daily videos/pictures of Lee’s progress. He also welcomed any questions we had and was quick with responses, suggestions, etc. On Lee’s graduation day, Michael spent several hours at our home going over EVERYTHING in detail and example and even worked with our other 2 dogs to help with transition. This is a lifetime commitment and consistency is a must but we are so grateful to Hakuna Matata for establishing the foundation for Lee’s success!! FIVE STARS don’t seem enough🥰🐶🐾❤️
The staff here is so wonderful! My dog had a great day today and I felt at ease leaving her to play! Very clean, no doggy smell in the facility! Definitely will bring my dog back!
I brought Kodak in for boarding while I went out of town for a concert last week and she had an absolute blast! So much so that when I had a sudden out of town trip that weekend I knew she would be in great hands. We just moved to the area so being able to find hounds town takes an incredible amount of stress off me for if I need to find somewhere for Kodak to go. The team is great and we’re always super big on communication. They post pictures on their Facebook everyday so I was always able to keep tabs on her. Since this was the first time Kodak has ever been in any sort of boarding/daycare environment I wasn’t sure how she was going to do but she went in and had an absolute blast. She’s still tired from her time there over this past weekend 😂
Very friendly and nice staff! They answered ALL of my crazy dog mom questions. I loved the report card and the Facebook / text message photos of my pup throughout the day. I’m so happy I found this place. A pic of my happy boy below.
We just picked up our dog after an extended boarding and we feel more at ease leaving him at HT CLT than anywhere else! The staff was prompt with providing pictures and updates when we asked. They even washed his blanket, going above and beyond. He has such a great time at HT and everyone who works there is so helpful and welcoming! ❤️
We love Hounds Town NoDa! This is the BEST place to bring your pup. They care about and get to know each dog, have a beautiful facility, and have the friendliest staff. They go above and beyond for both dogs and their people!
My sweet pup just turned two and HoundsTown Noda is our third daycare that we’ve been part of. I truly think this facility is the absolute best in Charlotte and we absolutely love it here!!!!! After having not so great experiences with two other doggy daycares in Charlotte, we joined HoundsTown right when they opened this location. The staff is phenomenal and my pup and I have built such great relationships with the staff, they are like family to us! They are always so accommodating and I trust them wholeheartedly! This facility is always very clean, organized, and inviting! Marcos and his team do an amazing job!!! Please bring your pup here, you will not regret it!!!
Amazing staff.. Very knowledge. Very clean and well kept place. Nice big windows so you can peak on in to see your kiddos playing before you leave! Also amazing prices definitely coming back and recommending!
We took our two dogs in for an evaluation today and were very impressed by the cleanliness, friendliness, and safety of this facility! We are very excited to bring our dogs in for boarding and daycare. It seems they put a lot of care into how they separate dogs by size and temperament. The person that helped us at the front desk was super friendly and helpful! Highly recommend so far.
Super happy with my dog, Kona’s, first day at Hounds Town. The team was genuinely friendly, listened to me, and made me feel very comfortable about leaving my dog in their care.
My 9 month old Hound Ollie loves Houndstown in Noda. I really appreciated the staff taking quality time with me and Ollie to make sure all questions were answered and to make sure Ollie was comfortable. I would definitely recommend Houndstown. We look forward to being apart of pack. Before and after our visit .
I’ve been using Granbar Kennel for 2 years. My dog is not very dog friendly, so other kennels where dogs stay together might not work for her. But Granbar provides each dog an individual suite with an outdoor patio attached. Also, I like them because they’re flexible on schedules, unlike some places where they won’t give any refund for cancellations. Here, I can just give them a call to change the schedule or extend a few days of boarding and they will even provide food if I didn’t leave enough. Overall, I’m grateful that there’s a place for my dog when I’m traveling out of town.
Fantastic groomers!! They were so sweet and genuinely cared about the wellbeing of my older dog and her special needs. After months of not being groomed, my dog had so many mats close to the skin. They took her in at 9am and got her back at 4pm with no mats, no dirt, perfectly pristine again!! 100% would recommend anyone looking for caring groomers that are incredible at their job!!! Definitely going back again!
Friendly staff and reasonable pricing but i did not appreciate how my pup was treated. I provided a bed and some toys for my dog to keep him him comfortable because we were away for a full week. I didn’t think it was too much to ask to simply put that stuff in the kennel he was staying in. When we picked him up his bed was in the corner where we left it, perfectly clean and brand new. no toys had been taken out of the bag and barely any food i provided was used. Needless to say, I’m guessing my dog slept on a concrete floor for 5 days and who knows if he ate. Will not be returning.
When we evacuated for the hurricane we took our pets to the kennel in Charlotte. They were great and kept us informed and worked with us on extending their stay. Friendly employees, nice atmosphere. My cat seemed to really enjoy herself. My dog started growling at them, I don't know why, but they kept him. The only thing I didn't live was the fleas they came home with, but that is unavoidable with kenneling.
Terrible place! My dogs were neglected and abused! One had his nails cut to the bone the others nails were long and curled under, one is missing teeth and has what appears to be spider bites on his legs and an ear infection/mites. When i went to get them the place looked abandoned, the grass was waist high, the grooming station was piled up as if these ppl went out of business and the owner implied they had. He had one excuse after another for the condition of the property and my dogs. DO NOT USE THIS FACILITY!
I took my long haired mixed breed medium sized dog to get groomed and they did a terrible job. It looks choppy and very uneven. You can see the chop lines from the individual cuts. There are parts that are maybe an inch long and right next to it will be a spot that's 3 inches long. It's really bad. The main reason why I wanted to have her groomed was for her shedding, which I told them. When I got her home, I took NINE brush fulls of fur off her. NINE! Terrible location, very difficult to find and the sign in very hard to see. Staff was nice, perhaps fine for boarding, but I will absolutely not be taking her there for grooming again. It's unfortunate that I'm now going to have to take her somewhere else to have them fix it cause it's simply that bad. *******UPDATE******** The owner issued me a full refund but refused to acknowledge the poor quality by merely making excuses saying "keep in mind that sometimes the dogs move." I have taken my dog to groomers before when I lived in another state and have never had work this bad. I've had people ask me if I tried to groom her myself and when I say "no, this is a professional job" the next question is always "have you complained yet?" or "have you gotten a refund?" I just don't know how you can stand by work that poor.
I had to book a last minute stay with 2 of my 3 pups, they would have been able to take all 3 but with the two they took care of I am happily impressed! Thank you for kind service, and a "mom and pop" feel to caring for my pups! I will be using them again!
I have been using Granbar for many years, probably 12 or so. I have never considered another place to board my dogs.They not only take care of my dogs, they love them. I have to travel a fair amount, but I never have to worry about my dogs when I am on the road. My little dog Buddy actually gets excited when we pull into the Granbar parking lot. He knows he is going to see his friends.
I have been taking my dog to Granbar Kennel for 5 years. When he first started going he was a little thing and now 150lb baby. The staff is great with him and I'm truly appreciative of all of their hard work.
I took my dog to GranBar a couple of times. At first glance, the place seems creepy. The staff is really nice, but I think that is where the best about this place ends. Each time I picked up my dog. she immediately had to relieve herself as if she had been holding it in for the duration of her stay! If you choose to have your day boarded at GranBar, don’t bother paying for “extra playtime”. Your dog does not benefit from you paying your hard earned money. Not going to share my sons experience at GranBar with his dog because it is enough to make anyone angry! Word of Advice/ DO NOT board your pet here!
My two rescued Jack Russell mixes have rarely been away from home. When I needed boarding for them in Charlotte over Christmas, Joanna came highly recommended, and I completely agree. My dogs did very well with her. Joanna sent text updates and many pictures / video during the time she had my dogs in her care. When my family asked for me to stay longer, Joanna was quick to reply that she could keep them longer. After the initial worry when they left my care to when the first photos of Sophie and Jack came back to me, I saw there was no need to worry. It was easy to see that they would be very well taken care of. I will bring my dogs back to Joanna in the future without any worry in the future. Stephen Moore
Joanna was absolutely AMAZING caring for my cat while on a week long trip. My cat can be needy and annoying at times, but she loved him, and care for him like one of her own. This was my first time leaving my cat to be taken care of by someone i didn't really know, so i was hesitant, but after meeting her i felt so comfortable. She is super reliable and responsive, and will give you plenty of status updates if you want! I truly feel like she cared about my cat, and it let me enjoy my vacation. I cant recommend her enough!
I have a 14 year old standard poodle (Barkley) a sweet & gentle guy but one that needs extra care. Joanna took time to have an intro session with me & my pooch so I could go over medications, feeding & walking routine, etc. While I was gone she stayed in constant contact (video & text) to assure me that my dog was doing well and eating (he’s a very picky eater these days). I’ve since called upon Joanna every time I’m forced to travel, and it means a great deal to me that I can have peace of mind - knowing Barkley is in good hands - while I’m away from home.
I was very nervous leaving my animals for the 1st time in a very long while; we have 11 cats & a rambunctious dog. Joanna did a fabulous job in calming them & me. She was very professional & really went the extra mile to insure that my husband & I had no worries while hundreds of miles from home. We would recommend her to anyone with no reservations . N. Edge
Joan is so responsive and easy to work with! I was able to book her last minute to help out with feeding my cat and giving her some love and pets while I was gone for the weekend. My cat can be picky with who she likes and doesn’t, but she loves Joan and I know she is well taken care of when I can’t be at home. I would recommend Joan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, sweet, and reliable pet sitter!
After a very hectic and stressful night of being rushed and admitted to the hospital I was faced with the challenge of not being able to properly take care of my service dog Lucy. I am very picky who handles her and whatnot. I found and called Miss Joanne from google. Immediately I felt at ease with her, and she ran straight over to take care of her. She has been awesome Everytime she comes to take Lucy out and feed her. My Lucy loves her and if you ask me the feeling is mutual. She is very reasonable priced, and very respectful. She has gone above the call of duty more times than can be counted. I highly recommend using her service!!
Joanna takes extra special care of my dog and is always sending text updates while I’m gone. Would highly recommend!
