Dog Sitters in Lowesville, NC

I have only the best things to say about Andrew and his team! I hired Cornelius Pet Care to watch my cat when I went out of the country for 11 days. The service was truly so amazing. Andrew is so responsive before hand and you meet who will be watching you pet before. Every single person who stopped by was amazing, did everything I asked and I felt like they all went the extra mile (special shoutout to Abigail & Donna). My cat was in the best of hands and my anxiety of leaving my cat was kept at bay with the daily report cards and photos. This was such an easy and wonderful experience. I highly recommend Cornelius Pet Care for any of your pet sitting needs. Thank you so so much!!

I hired them to watch my pets while attending a family member’s funeral out of town. I gave them the dates twice. They claimed to have written them down. When I returned home I had found my animals starving and thirsty, and feces and pee everywhere. I had to throw away a $250 living room rug. My children and I cleaned for days. When I confronted them about the situation, they stated that I gave them the wrong dates. I assured them that I did not and that they made a mistake. They proceeded to tell me that because I am grieving the loss of a family member that I was hostile and upset and that they would take no responsibility for their actions. Thank goodness my pets survived. They also blocked me from messaging them about the incident after I asked for reimbursement. Safe yourself the trouble and hire someone else for your fur babies! I read your response to this btw. Everything you just stated is a lie. None of that is even close to true. The lengths you will go to avoid accountability is disturbing to say the least. I hope no one else ever has to experience something like this from your business ever again. I would like to let you know that while you blocked me to hide the messages between us, I did take screen shots of all of them. I will see you in small claims!

Absolutely recommend Andrew and Carol Ann. They are super reliable and wonderful with all three of my fur babies. I love the updates and pics they send, really puts me at ease whenever I go out of town. All three always have a great time when they come by to visit.

Very reliable - we have enjoyed engaging with everyone at Cornelius Pet Care. They are our go to for helping with our fur babies. You can always tell good care is given when your dogs can’t wait to see them or stay at their house.

Cornelius Pet Care LLC is an awesome company. I used them several times while I was out of town. They took great care of my dog Jax. I received pictures everyday of Jax. They even brought him snacks.

A neighbor recommended this sitter so I called and he had me go to his site and fill out a lengthy questionnaire, add CC info and setup a meet and greet. THEN he reads my lengthy bio and sees I have Rottweiler, calls and cancels the meeting. He could have asked the breed on the call and not wasted my time. If you fear Rottweilers you seem to be in the wrong business.

We've used Cornelius Pet Care for a year and a half now for our four fur babies (2 dogs and 2 cats). Whether we are a couple hours down the road or on another continent, we've felt really comfortable leaving our pets under their care. We get updates after each visit and we laugh at the pictures they take while on our trip. Their booking services are easy and convenient to use and they are always super flexible with scheduling to accommodate travel changes. Definitely recommend to friends in the area!

My husband and I are so happy to have found Cornelius Pet Care. We have 4 pups and they need to be walked daily/ let out while we are working. We trust Andrew and Carol Ann to come into our home and take care of our furbabies. They give our pups fresh water, change out potty pads and give our pups lots of attention/ treats. They even send daily photos of how the visit went. Our dogs love these daily visits. So thankful to have found Cornelius Pet Care. Wonderful company whose employees truly love animals.

We have used Cornelius Pet Care since Spring of 2023 and they have been so incredible to us AND our pups. They are always on time, flexible and they take the best care of our two dogs. Their app is so easy to use and they are always incredibly quick with communication and scheduling.

So very thankful this business exists near me! Their service is very streamlined; they were able to get me on the schedule and took great care of my cat with pretty short notice. My baby boy was happy, and I love that they sent pics each day! Highly recommend their service!

I cannot recommend Erika highly enough! Erika‘s attention to detail and genuine love for animals truly shines through in her work. My dog always looks, feels, and smells amazing after her grooming session. Erika I feel really goes above and beyond to make the experience as stress-free and enjoyable for my fur baby. If you’re looking for a professional, kind, and skilled groomer then Magic Paw Pet Care is for you.

Erika is the best! She is who I leave both my dogs with and I know my baby we are safe and loved. She also gives the best baths, I love picking them up they smell so fresh!

We are so thankful to have found Erika & Magic Paw Pet Care! We have two large doodles who used to get extremely anxious anytime they got groomed. Now they run to Erika without looking back at us. We couldn't be happier knowing that they are safe, loved and look super cute after their grooms. Couldn't recommend enough!

I was introduced to Erika by my friend Cheryl. I was a new parent and very anxious about my little fur boy being home alone during the day. I was assured by Cheryl that Erika was a gentle and kind person who loved animals and would take good care of my baby. I did an intro meeting with Erika and was at peace. I have been with Erika since May, 2024 and have been very pleased with the care she has provided. My fur baby loves to go to her home, he has even spent the night. If you would like more specfics, feel free to contact Erika for my number. Dr. Patricia

If you want your fur baby to feel safe, happy and healthy, Erika is the perfect person for you. I almost didn’t want to write this review because I didn’t want anybody else to know our fam found a gem for pet care and we want to keep her for ourselves. When we leave our dog with her, she never fails to update us with photos of our dog’s activities. We feel secure, knowing our fur baby is in great care when we travel.

Erika at Magic Paw 🐾 is the best!! When we have to travel, I feel at ease knowing our beloved family pet will be in a safe & loving home environment, getting constant attention from a conscientious caretaker while we are away. When your pet runs in to the pet sitter’s house with tail-a-waggin’, you know it’s a good situation. Erika is always our first choice. ❤️

Erika took care of my son's dog Lexi. She groomed her and boarded Lexi. Although I am not sure "boarded" is the right word. She took care of Lexi like she was her own pet. She came back clean, with a new haircut, and her nails done! Thanks Erika!

Erika is the best!!!!she truly loves the pets, is patient & ever so sweet & kind. I have been using her for 4 years & am ever so pleased. If you want to contact me, Erika will let you know how. Cheryl Nealy

My fur baby and I love Magic Paw Pet Care! We’ve had multiple great experiences and highly recommend.

We're so thankful for Lakeside Pet Sitting! Ami took great care of our kitty while we were away on a short trip, and made us feel like we weren't so far away with updates and photos from her visits. We're so happy to have them as an option when we need to be away from our fur baby. Very professional and personable, highly recommended!

I adore these wonderful pet people. Leaving my goldens is always hard, but they are SO good to my pups and it feels like we're leaving them with family. Super easy to work with and accommodating to various situations we've encountered along the way. We get the best visit summaries each day and lots of pictures, which makes it easier to be away from home. Highly recommend.

So thank for Lakeside Pet Sitting and their amazing staff for taking such great care of our Ruby girl! Ayadra and Tori are so attentive and loving! We enjoy our daily pictures and details of her mid afternoon visits. Top Notch!

Lakeside Pet Sitting is awesome. We especially appreciate Ami playing with and caring for our Stella while we were on a long vacation. We were notified daily with lots of pictures and a brief paragraph of the care/play Stella received each day. It’s evident that Lakeside hires people who love and care for animals. If you’re in need of an in-home pet sitter, I would HIGHLY recommend Lakeside.

I had foot surgery. Desperately needed help with my Yorkie and young Golden Retriever Tried a different combination in the area 1st. Not so good I was referred to Lakeside My experiences has been 5 stars. Excellent website My walkers have been fabulous My Golden goes crazy with love when they arrive. Lakeside Pet sitting (walkers for me) have eased my mind I can center on healing Thank you Hope the owner Chrissy,Danielle, and Ayadra.

We've used Lakeside Pet Sitting a few times now and we could not be happier. We've used a few different sitters from different companies prior to Lakeside and believe me, there is a clear difference here. Their sitters are fantastic- professional, compassionate, and great at communicating- which is something we really appreciate. We just had Danielle sit for us this last week and she was great- lots of descriptive text updates and pictures each time she visited. She read our notes about the needs of our pets and came prepared when she met with us. Lakeside Pet Sitting is the best choice when it comes to looking after your pets.

After requesting services on short notice (2 weeks before Christmas vacation), Hope, got back to me very quickly and was able to accommodate pet sitting for our 3 cats for a whole week. Lakeside Pet Sitting uses a website that is polished and professional and connected to a companion mobile app to post updates, chats, and pictures of your pets directly to your phone while you are away. Nina, was the person who watched our cats while we were away, and she is absolutely fantastic. She contacted us upon arrival and departure, and gave a detailed update of how our cats were doing and what she did to keep them balanced and happy every single day. She also posted several pics of our cats upon each visit. We were extremely pleased with the attention to detail and the care given to our kitties. I highly recommend Lakeside Pet Sitting, and definitely plan on using them again.

We are SO happy to have found Lakeside Pet Sitting - and our two cats are thrilled that they get to stay in their own house instead of being cooped up and stressed out at the vet's office. Hope and her team are phenomenal. I never have to worry while we're out of town... and I am super anxious when it comes to my meows! Nina sends us pictures of each of the cats along with a detailed update every time she visits. We love this connection to home when we're travelling, and it's obvious that she spends time with the kitties and knows their personalities! Their pricing is incredibly reasonable for the level of service they provide, especially compared to the cost of boarding! We also love the app they use as it makes scheduling, check-ins, and payment super convenient. I would recommend Lakeside Pet Sitting to ANYONE. They have been an absolute godsend!

We're so happy that we discovered Lakeside Pet Sitting for our puppies! The sitters that have come to our house have been dependable, informative and loving. When we've gone out of town, we've never had to worry. They are always in loving, capable hands!

Lakeside Pet Sitting is the best pet care service I have ever used. They truly care about our babies and take such great care of them while we are away - it really helps me feel more at ease when we travel, and that's not always easy. They send photos and detailed information with every visit. I cannot recommend them enough!

We have really enjoyed taking our 11 year old labradoodle to Woof Den Dog Resort. Our initial visit was great when we had to drop her off for her orientation/temperament test. We then had her boarded here while we went out of town for a weekend and had a great experience. Would highly recommend Woof Den Dog Resort and Daycare!

Woof Den has been a God send. They were so welcoming and willing to go out of their way to help. I recently had spinal surgery and it was so comforting to know that he was in good hands. They are very organized and all have great attitudes. Love this place.

Our 7mo old pup stayed there for 4 nights and had a blast! He loved being outside and playing in the pool and with all the other dogs all day every day. When I picked him up, he was happy and content, which is something I was wanting to see to make sure he had liked it there and been treated well. He will be going back for sure!

Our pup Mo loves going to "school" here. The staff love on her and she loves the extra attention during the week that we can't always give her with work/school activities. We enjoy the photos/videos they post on Facebook to see all the fun they have throughout the day!

Our dog loves it here! He gets so excited even hearing us mention it. They let the dogs interact and play! After all that's what they are really there to do- not just a room to stay. The staff are really friendly. We recently boarded Bailey there for a week. When we were delayed getting home from our vacation they were super accommodating extending Bailey's stay change his grooming to work with our changing plans.

I gave them my dog for a few days and when I returned to pick her up she was still alive! So for keeping her alive I give 5 stars.

the woof den is a amazing facility to take your dogs, they get all their energy out. The groomer dawn is the best groomer I could ever ask for she is amazing at her job and always provides good care for her grooming dogs. Love this place. I personally give this place a 10/10 recommendation

The staff at Wolfden is AMAZING! Their love for animals is beyond the norm. Maggie went out of her way to help my rescue feel comfortable in a new environment and enjoying his play time with the other dogs. Thanks to Maggie, Christopher and the entire staff at Wolfden….Jake has friends and now has a new place to play🤗🤗🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼 You guys ROCK!

Big Fan of WOOF DEN! They have really went above & beyond in helping me care for my WEIMARANER. The Owner James has an outstanding staff !! Was there this morning for a simple nail trim. When I walked in, they knew the Dog & why I was there. Highly recommend!!!

Animal abuse at its worst. Shelia, the trainer, beats dogs with brushes and whipps them with the leash. If you would like your dog to be kicked on a daily basis, take it to the woof den to see Shelia. She will make sure your dog is horrified!

The staff are exceptional with our 3 boys. They are attentive to their needs and keep us informed of any changes in behavior or medical concerns. Our boys are so happy when they get there! They staff clearly care for each pet as their own and it shows.

Our cat looovvees Pet Paradise and they appear to love him too. The staff at PP. Lake Norman is so warm and friendly when you come and go, always happy to share a story about your pet. Over the several years we have boarded our cat at PP, we have always been well communicated with and he returns happy and healthy. Just in case, there is a vet onsite as well in case you need a quick visit. They handle it all. Our Cow gives 5+ stars.

Our dog Loki really seemed to enjoy his stay. We are always so nervous to leave him boarded because he gets so anxious and is not generally social in his old age. The staff at pet paradise Lake Norman made Loki come out of his shell and he seemed to be well cared for and happy during his week long stay based on his daily report card pictures! They took extra care to ensure he was placed with older dogs too which we greatly appreciated!!!

If you love your dogs healthy and alive….find somewhere else. Our dog suffered great sickness while there and after his stay there and no one was concerned but the vet team. They called my wife as he was gravely ill and as we were rushing him to the hospital upon our return….and had the audacity to ask her if we had any other travel dates in mind to get the dogs rescheduled.

Another pet boarding place dropped the ball on a reservation for our cat, Loki, for the weekend, so I called Pet Paradise the day before we left. I was stressed and upset because of the experience with the other facility and was rapidly running out of hope. PP was kinda out of our way for our trip, but they had a spot available and got us booked quickly and easily. Not only is it a day camp/boarding facility, they also have a vet office on-site, which actually gave us quite a bit of peace of mind that if something should happen with us out of town, it could be handled quickly!! We received the first night free, since we're new clients and it was a little over $90 for three nights and a late pickup time. They even called the day after to check on our fur baby and make sure that he was doing well back at home. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking in the area for cat boarding (since dog boarding places are much easier to find!!)

I want to say thank you to the Pet Paradise staff for taking good care of my 11-year-old tea-cup toy poodle during her weekend stay. The staff was very pleasant, professional, and very assuring that my baby would be in good hands. They called and sent report cards 2x's a day, and they have webcams where you can check on your baby (not to clear and far away video). The place was clean and looked well sanitized. I will be returning and letting my baby have a 1 day a week doggie daycare day. Thanks again, everyone at Pet Paradise, overnight, boarding.

My dog was bit by another dog at the Pet Paradise boarding facility. He was checked out by the Vet twice and was given no antibiotic or treatment. Within the week our dog had a severe infection, fever, and needed a drain tube placed in his neck. This problem could have easily been avoided if closer attention was given during examination and if he was given a precautionary antibiotic (see picture for clear evidence of broken skin from the bite). Dog bites are unavoidable but the lack of treatment and care given after is unacceptable and I will never return or recommend this facility for pet care.

The staff are always extremely pleasant. Even when it’s busy you can tell they are all working together to ensure pets and their humans are taken care of as quickly as possible but still with excellent care.

This was our first visit. We were warmly greeted at the door by a very friendly person, and she said “aww, she looks like a little teddy bear”. The environment was spotless. We left Annie there most of the day, and she returned happy and tired. We booked another day tomorrow and plan to bring her twice per week. Thank you from us and Annie. Linda and Steve Lasch

My pup was extremely shy and frightened of strangers. She now is excited to see her human and canine friends. Staff is very friendly and shows love to the animals in there care.

Skip is amazing with dogs, and goes to great lengths to care for them. His commitment to caring for dogs in a natural way is incredible. My dogs love getting to see him and get great exercise when walking with him. I highly recommend his services.

This place is top notch. The care the owners take and how often they check in to let you know your furbabies are happy and healthy is great and let us relax and enjoy our trip. I would not only recommend 100 times over but I plan on using them on a regular bases. Hidden gem!!

My boys Smokey and Max were so well taken care of! Cage free, clean room, 4 walks a day with the wonderful owner, who kept me posted the whole time and I will absolutely bring my boys back. Five stars!!!

Skip is the dog whisperer! Our dog loves him. Skip gives us updates on her too. He is super responsive.

Our dogs usually come back from boarding stressed but they were very relaxed coming home. Ralph was professional and a good communicator.

Best boarder we've ever had. It's hard to find suitable boarding for all three of my dogs. Skip was wonderful with all of them and they were very happy there!

Great place for the pups. Lots of walks! Skip understands dogs, and is wonderful to work with. He gives a lot of updates, even for just an overnight stay

We must be new neighbors from over Pine Valley Dr.,,, great pics showing your business ?

Skip is great with the animals

Great place for your dog to run free and really nice staff. I like how you can watch your dogs in the camera in the website too. Also I asked one of the employees and they said that if you check all buttons of the camera on the website and don’t see your dog or any dogs then they are all in a individual cube (each dog in it’s in cubical not cage) that is a good size. It is so they can just rest. Also if the weather is not the best outside then they will put all of the dogs in a bigger indoor playroom. My dog gets very nervous every time that he goes off to boarding when we go on vacation or anything else of that sort, so he will not eat. They told me that he wasn’t eating his food so they put some wet food in it and he ate it right up. My dog also has some allergy issues (considering he is always rubbing around in the grass and clay 😂) and they took perfect care of him and he came back looking like when I dropped him off. The pricing is okay, as long as my dog is happy it is worth it. I can tell that he made lots of friends and really enjoyed himself! Jax will definitely come back again! 😊

I have been thrilled with the services of Camp Wagging Tails as my dogs have loved their weekly visits at CWT, for 20 years. All 3 pugs, over those years, have exhibited great excitement upon seeing Bailey Road. What a well-run, caring business we are fortunate to have in our community, giving our dogs healthy activities with doggy friends! I encourage folks to give your dogs this happy opportunity!

CWT has been a great place for my anxious pup to call a second home. They take such good individualized care of each dog and as an anxious dog mom, the cameras are great. Their trainer, Scott, is the absolute best and goes above and beyond to help owners better understand the needs of the dogs. Very grateful for this place!

I first toured this place prior to boarding my dog for Thanksgiving. A few things I was not crazy about- you can’t actually go outside to see the play areas. I saw one room with the crates. I left him for half day camp- they said he was mounting a lot and they would watch that in the future (he is a neutered 6 yr old male). I ended up not boarding him for Thanksgiving due to travel changes. I then had him go for grooming and a half day of day camp; again, feedback was he was ‘mounting other dogs’ but no other info given. He stayed the next two nights. I asked about getting pictures, they have not ‘figured this out yet’. I said to let me know how things were as he has never been boarded here before. I got a text at the end of day two that he had a great time and was doing great. Then two hours later that he had been put out of playtime due to mounting. When I picked him up I asked for details; not aggressive they said, just mounting so basically I guess they cannot control that. I saw cameras of the play yards, which I liked, but employees just standing around in a clump. Just felt impersonable; not a lot of feedback, did not get to see where he stayed the night. Won’t be back.

Camp Wagging tails is fantastic! My dog attends daycare twice a week! They also have a fantastic trainer (Scott) on staff! Scott is extremely helpful and patient! He helps train the owner and the dog! I highly recommend Scott and camp wagging tails.

Our pups have been going to day camp at Camp Wagging Tails for about two years now and the team has been awesome! It’s clear they genuinely care —Jessica, Kylee, Amanda, Mallory— thank you! We also recently started having the pups groomed there which is convenient so we don’t have to schedule separately over the weekend.

Camp Wagging Tails was a wonderful place to work. The staff are amazing and I knew I could trust everyone with my own dog when she came to work with me.The groomer on staff, Kylee, was someone I could trust to make sure my girl was taken care of and she always came out looking great! I can’t say enough good things about the front desk staff. Those ladies are amazing at what they do and it was a privilege to work along side them. I truly can not recommend CWT enough as a whole. You can bring your dog there and know that they are getting the best care!

We have used Camp Wagging Tales a few times for daycare as well as boarding for our 1 year old Great Dane. Each time she’s returned home we have had to take a trip to the vet within the week for varying issues. The first time she came home with a broken toe that took weeks to heal. The second time we had to treat a skin condition that took two rounds of antibiotics. The third resulted in an inpatient hospitalization for influenza. I highly suggest folks take a close look before booking this facility. The activities and interaction with other pups is great however the actual care and cleanliness seems to leave a lot to be desired.

Camp Wagging Tails is the best doggy day and boarding facility, led by the most caring staff. Amanda and her team give me great confidence that my dog is in great hands, whether it’s for a fun play day or boarding when I travel. My dog, Wilbur, can’t wait to get there, and he runs right back to play with his friends with a big smile on his face. That’s all I need to know about his review!! Five paws!!

You could not ask for better service and care for your pup than at Camp Wagging Tails! Jessica, Amanda and Mallory are always ready for a smile and genuinely care about you and your pup! I have been taking my pups to Camp Wagging Tails for 14 years!

Great daycare. My pup is happy to go, and disappointed to leave. She gets paired with dogs at her high energy level and they play outside about as long as weather permits. Friendly staff that appear to like their jobs. Very reasonable prices. Grooming services offered as well. And, it's just nice to know that if anything does happen, there is a vet hospital next to the facility.

Our dogs always love staying here, and the staff is incredibly friendly!

She always does a great job and he feels so comfortable with her she is really good at what she does. Personally I think dogs are better judge of characters than people at times and he loves her.

Our fur baby, Buzz stayed for five days at this location. He suffers severe separation anxiety from his previous owners and we were scared that he would have a bad experience being away from us. Claws and Paws took amazing care of him. They administered his medication to help him through his stay and allowed us to be worry free during our vacation. He’s due to come back in a month and hopefully he will be in better spirits while we are away. I trust them fully with our fur baby.

Needed a place to keep our dog for a long weekend ( 9-17-21 through 9-20-21 ). Staff was friendly, helpful and courteous. The facility was clean looking and clean smelling. The grounds look well kept and maintained Our pet looked to be well cared for when we picked him up. Reasonably priced for the service. A good experience and would use them again should the need arise.

Sad to write this review as I have posted nothing but 5 stars for this kennel previously. Picked up my 11 year old dog on 7/10/22 and her legs and belly were covered in urine. She also was bitten while at the kennel which I know can happen and they cared for her however it was completely unacceptable to find her covered in urine. They offered a bath however we needed to get our son to an event but needless to say after over 5 years at this kennel we will not be back. I have recommended the kennel repeatedly over the years and now need to back track due to this. Again- not the fact she was bitten as she was cared for regarding that incident, rather that she was covered in urine at any time I find unacceptable. As of this review still waiting on the owner or a manager to contact me. Also, upon check out I was advised of the cost which was almost 80.00 higher than 2 weeks prior and for the same length of visit/time of arrival/time of pick-up. They corrected a portion of it however was still higher than previous visit. The pricing I am sure is competitive with other kennels in the area but now I will be finding that out as I will need to look for another option. This was such a great location with the vet being next door but needless to say the cleanliness of my dog and safety outweighs the proximity to the vet.

I bring my dog here all the time and she's always excited to go in! The staff are also super friendly and helpful, and they all seem to love my dog as well.

I came in not as a dog owner.. but with chest pains because I couldn't make it to the hospital... The lead doctor immediately told me to relax and he started an IV in me and 4 hours later I woke up from a triple bypass by the most wonderful vet clinic in the world.... This is 100% true and the best part is he told me not to worry about the bill because it was gonna be over $400. But I gave him $75 and thanked him for saving my life . I love you all

I was very scared to leave my bunny at claws & paws, as we’d never tried a boarding facility before. The staff was so reassuring and transparent about everything before, during, and after the stay. If we are ever in need of a boarding facility again, we will definitely be booking with Claws & Paws. Amazing people and clean environment. 10/10 experience xoxo.

They seem to take good care of my dog.

Always takes care of my dog well. Doesn't smell like a kennel after he comes home either. Often send photos of him to us when we are on vacation which has been one of my favorite things. Think we've been there 3 times now and never an issue.

As a lifetime dog owner who views our pups as a family member, leaving them behind is always somewhat of internal battle. Kennelina Pet Resort has been exceptional in all aspects of caring for our pups in our absence. Ken & Paty are extremely responsive and considerate with their time. I know that our dogs are not the only ones in their care but when I reach out for updates or with questions, they make you feel like your pets are the only ones in their facility! I would not consider Kennelina "local" to where I live, I drive one way for about 35-40mins past several other options to give Miller & Blue the best when I can't be there! You shouldn't hesitate to contact them if you have a need!

Coming from very particular dog parents. We love Kennelina! So do our Pups. They offer a place where our dogs get to play several times a day and have fun with other dogs. They offer a nice place for them to stay in the same room during down times. They also offer a facility that we feel comfortable leaving our beloved pets at. The staff is very nice a friendly as well. My wife and I highly recommend this facility.

We have booked our chocolate lab Moo Moo brisket pork chop here for four years! If we can’t take her with us this is the only place I trust to keep her. She recently went while we went on 8 day cruise and she had a hurt leg, they gave her medicine to her and assured me she was ok. They take great care of her, have excellent communication, and send me lots of pictures. Moo moo loves going here and goes behind the cash register likes she pays the building mortgage and is part owner. We love kennelina the only place for our brisket.

This was a first for us boarding our babies, we were very pleased with the care they received. Ozzy met new friends and Monkey enjoyed her alone playtime. We received pictures of them twice during our week of vacation. If I could make one suggestion it would be that they add cameras, so the parents are able to login and view their babies at play and inside the kennel.

They took excellent care of Chester, and we're relieved to finally find a place where we feel comfortable leaving our pup!

Beau and Willow recently stayed at Kennelina for 6 nights while we went out of town and they seemed to have had a great time! I really appreciated how attentive the staff was when we dropped them off - issues, special treats, medications, how much food, etc. Also, while we were away, they sent multiple emails with pictures of our pups enjoying play time and hanging out with other dogs. Also, when we did an initial tour of the facility, they showed us everything -- some places don't take you back to where the dogs actually stay, so I appreciated this transparency. The staff is very friendly, personable, and our pups loved them. Thanks for having a great place where I feel comfortable leaving my fur babies!

Having a dog that has separation anxiety, we finally found a kennel that socialized our dog with other "residents" and put her at ease. I even got a call from the owner about an existing lick wound on her tail. I told him everything was good and we were aware, but that level of caring and attention put me more at ease. I enjoyed my Company's weekend employee retreat without a worry. We will definitely board Precious here again and highly recommend Kennelina. Very affordable too!

Our dog loves this place! Kennelina came highly recommended by our neighbors and we have had a great experience. We always feel comfortable dropping off our dog and really appreciate the extra care they take to make sure she is happy and safe. The pictures of her running around with the other dogs are the best! Best kennel we have ever used by far!

I have a puppy during the pandemic and to say we are close is an understatement since we’ve been together 24/7 for months!!! I made an appointment to tour the kennel and Ken patiently showed me around explaining the care they provide. The place was small, clean, and all dogs looked well cared for. I appreciated the large in and outdoor compartments. And I especially liked that they only put a few like sized and temperament dogs in the play yard together. 1st visit was a play day and I received pictures of her playing with others. She was happy and worn out when I picked her up. 2d time was an overnight stay and again I received pictures of her playing and she seemed tired and I don’t think she ate much of her food while there because she came home and ate an entire cup of food then slept forever. 3d visit is 2 overnights and I’ve received pics of a happy dog. This overly protective dog-mom highly recommends their services. They seem to genuinely like the dogs they care for.

Such a happy place for both humans and doggies! We go to the Northlake location… and the staff there are so incredibly wonderful.. and how my dog acts when I drop her off, she jumps all over the staff in excitement when we walk in… you can tell she has so much fun going to daycare and the staff are so friendly with her. We’ve done both boarding and daycare.. both services are great. She gets plenty of outside playtime … the yard is fenced in well (my dog is a runner so that is important for me).. the yard is big, so lots of running space … there are “obstacles” for the dogs to play on .. you get a report card at the end of the day of pictures of all the friends she played with that day .. and if you have questions, the staff is happy to talk with you. I feel comfortable leaving her there.. bc I know she’s being well taken care of and my dog is so happy to go.

From the minute we walk in the door, we are greeted with a happy greeting and no matter who is working the desk area or who comes to take Romeo & Juliet outside, every single person is so friendly and so happy to see our pups. I feel like we are totally heard and understood when we communicate any concerns like Romeo (a 150 lb Bernese Mountain Dog) doesn't do well in the heat. Because of how we are treated when we walk in the door and how our pups are treated I feel like we are leaving them in good hands and they will be cared for and loved on while there. I feel like we can go and enjoy ourselves and our pups are in good hands. Thank you so much for your good people skills and pup skills! It makes all the difference when we have to leave them for a bit of time. They are less stressed and so are we! I also love that your large kennels are large enough that both our Bernese Mountain Dogs can be in the kennel together as they are used to being together all the time at home. They have enough space to spread out but they an be in the same space which is a lot less stressful than if Juliet, the younger pup were in a kennel by herself. Thank you for being so accommodating for all breeds and for dogs who live together.

My dogs Belle and Udo seem to love it here! They go often for both daycare and boarding. The staff seems to be passionate about what they do and are very friendly. As most dog owners know dropping your pets off to be cared for by strangers can be nerve-racking but I haven’t had any concerns leaving them in the care of this facility so far and will continue to do business with them for as long as things keep going well! 😃

We boarded our year old pup here and we are so happy that we did! It was our first time boarding her so we were a little nervous but the staff here was WONDERFUL ! We took our pup in about two weeks before our vacation and did a “Temperament Test” to see how she would interact with others and what group she would fit in best with! While she got to do that I toured the facility and got a good idea on what her routine would be and things of that nature! Drop off was super easy and we were able to have a family member pick her up and pay in advance so they wouldn’t have to deal with it! We are beyond happy with our experience and will definitely be back! Thank you for her “report cards” ! 🫶🏻

My 8 year old boxer loves One Lucky Pup! She’s not a big fan of a huge play pack but at OLP they have two large outdoor areas which makes it perfect to allow dogs like mine more one on one play time.

We take my Golden boy, Ryker, here whenever we have to go out of town. I can’t say enough good things about One Lucky Pup, the staff is super friendly and responsive whenever I call them. The only bad thing I can say about it is I get a little jealous when we walk and Ryker completely forgets we exist and just wants to rush back to play with the other doggos lol. During our last stay it was his birthday and they took these pictures with a happy birthday crown, which reminds me, the report cards with pictures are such a great addition we always look forward to getting the updates while we’re on vacation. They are so awesome. We’re so lucky to have OLP so close to home!

Not worth your money - took my dog in for a 1/2 day of daycare after being told they play the whole time (vs. in/out for full day) and that was not the case. Literally half the time your pet is there, they are in a kennel. I understand healthy breaks, but that is excessive. They are closed from 12-2 everyday too and I had asked if I could drop my pet off closer to 230 due to work meetings, and they said yes but did not explain that this would even further reduce my pets place time since regardless of when they arrive/how long they are there/etc. they come in at 430pm. I also would've picked my dog up earlier had I known this, if I wanted him crated, I would've done this at home for free, I brought and paid for him to being playing and exercising. Report card is a giant waste of time, couple random adjectives to describe your pet (mine said pet me!, sweet, sooo cute!) and 3 pictures of my dog taken all at the same time. The building itself is pretty old/outdated, no indoor play yards, and kennel space is loud/dark/cramped. Intake process/compatibility is not sufficient in my opinion - come up for 15 minutes, which is not a substantial amount of time for the dog to settle in at all or get acclimated and just being like yup good to go after minimal time in a very small controlled setting. Doesn't give me a lot of confidence in their ability to vet other dogs. A lot of places keep them for a couple hours/half day or even a full day of daycare and typically that session is free or discounted as a trial run for all parties, not here. full price for misleading services!

One Lucky Pup is a nice place to take your dog if you need a place to board while on vacation. I went out of the country for a week and they took excellent care of my pup while I was away. The staff are super friendly and you can tell they really love dogs. They are grouped based on size and characteristics and send a daily report card and pictures to let you know how they are doing. He was clean and looked happy when I came to pick him up!

One lucky pup is the best! My labs love this place. They have been going here for years because of the friendly & safe staff, and nice facilities. I know they are safe and well cared for every time. They are accommodating to many different types of dogs and have different groups for different demeanors and size. Bonus is that I can get my grooming done there as well!

This place was ok. honestly don't ever seeing my self going here ever again. If you have dogs on the bigger side this may be the pace for you but anyone with a small dog who wants a cute cut, this is the last place you want to go. I have a malshi and specifically told the lady I did not want him to look like a naked mole rat. I could've went to pet co or pet smart if I wanted that. she specifically told me just an inch would be taken off so he's still fluffy like a teddy bear. As soon as she brought him out I immediately wanted to leave him right there. I was so angry all I could do was just pay and leave. If you are wanting a nice cut and not for your dog to just be shaved down to their skin. I would suggest going somewhere else. there was absolutely no reason for us to have a consultation if she was just going to shave him down. I hate to say this about my pup but I hate this cut! he looks sooo ugly.

Lucky Dog Bark & Brew - Cornelius location. What a fun place to hang with your fur baby! I was there today for a private pawty, Lucky Dogs first timer, and loved it! There's an indoor area and an outdoor area to enjoy. The large outdoor area is completely fenced in and has some tables with benches, and dog ramps and tunnels all on concrete. There's a covered deck area with long high-top tables and chairs with TVs for you to catch a game. The bar has a decent variety of beer and their cocktail menu is very creative and the bartender is super nice!! Dog water bowls for the pups too. They offer boarding and grooming. They also have specials for Beer & Bath Nights and Trivia Nights. As a pet facility that can't offer food but they do welcome door dash or you bringing in your own food. Had a fun time and will definitely be back!

Staff are always caring and sweet! Dogs seem so happy coming in and on barside! Trivia is always fun to come to! My dog always comes home tired after daycare :))

My pup stayed here while I was out of town for a wedding back home in Pittsburgh. They took such great care of him. I swear he did not want to leave and go home with me lol! We stayed and I had a drink before we went home. I had the Doodle (blueberry vodka, raspberry vodka, sour & ginger ale). Plenty of games to play! Great atmosphere & vibes. Molly was out bartender! She was SO GD funny and kind. They have murals on the inside and outside for photo ops! We will definitely be back!! 🩷🩷

I alway have peace of mind when my fur baby ,SEVEN, is with Lucky dog. They treat my baby with so much love. She loves it here!!! Thank you LUCKY DOG!

Our dogs love it here! Such a perfect place to watch the games and let the dogs play. Staff is super friendly and place is always clean. We love it here!! Especially when the pool it out 🤣😂 …

I usually go to the Steele Creek location but was in the area and stopped in last week to check this one out. It’s a little on the older side but the ambiance and energy were great. In speaking with the bartender Molly, I learned the location use to be a crackle barrel. Makes so much sense lol. Molly and Ericka were joking around with staff and what seemed to be regulars because everyone knew their names. Glad I stopped in and met some new people. It’s a little ways for me but will definitely be back. I even got a free koozie.

DO NOT BOARD AT LUCKY DOG! The dogs are most definitely not lucky when they're here. Our two dogs have come home covered in pee multiple times. When we dug further into it we found out they were NOT caring for our dogs. They have only 2 handlers for upwards of 100 dogs. One of our dogs came home with a huge gash on his face and they didn't catch it, or report it to us. They come home anxious every boarding visit. When we dug further we found out that one of our dogs was so anxious she was chewing on a cot (she doesn't chew things at home, or any other boarding place we've ever used.) Instead of telling us, they just made a note in their system that she doesn't get a cot... We asked them to kennel together and so both of our dogs were sleeping on cold hard tile floor for their entire stays, sometimes as long as a week or two when we've taken longer trips. Instead of taking any responsibility for any of this they blamed our dogs. Their manager confirmed to me they don't require handlers have ANY certifications or qualifications. I asked for a GM or assistant GM to get in touch with me about whether they even do background checks and they are ignoring us. Lucky Dog used to be great when they were family owned. Roughly around 2022 they were bought out by a corporation called Village Pet and it's clear they are trying to suck as much profit out of the business while they can. They've raised their rates and cut down on the staff. In NC handlers can only have 10 dogs out per handler so your pets are NOT getting as much attention or outside time as they should be. This place is the worst. We have 4 friends that also used Lucky Dog and after hearing what was happening they're also finding another boarding place. We'll be telling anyone who will listen to ABSOLUTELY DO NOT BOARD YOUR DOGS HERE.

We had our Bernedoodle groomed and she looked spectacular! She also came out with a smile on her face which has never happened after other grooming appointments. I think the interaction she had with other dogs made her feel comfortable. Thanks Lucky Dog!

My dog, Biskee, loves going to Lucky Dog. When we get in the car, she nudges me to drive faster.

I couldn't be happier with the boarding and grooming here! My pup, Lily, always comes back looking and smelling amazing.She almost seems sad to leave. CJ and Destiny are incredibly friendly and clearly care about the dogs. I know my furry friend is in good hands whenever she's there. Highly recommend!"
