Chapel Hill Pet Retreat

Chapel Hill Pet Retreat handles dog boarding and daycare in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, from a facility on Alexander Drive. Its runs are completely indoor and come in several sizes, and dogs from small to giant are accepted. Staff place each dog in the run size that suits its weight.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding in indoor runs, $35 to $50 per night
• Daycare for dogs whose owners work long days
• Grooming
• Medication administration during a stay
• One-on-one enrichment sessions: Cuddle Buddy, Fetch & Run, and Nature Walks

What stands out

The all-indoor setup is the clearest difference from kennels that run dogs outside, since everything stays under one roof and under staff supervision. Long-term boarding is a regular part of the business rather than an exception, and multi-pet discounts apply, which matters for households sending two or three dogs at once. Enrichment is booked as one-on-one time with a staff member, so a dog that finds busy group settings stressful still gets attention and exercise. Owners can also get photo updates of their dog by email during the stay.

Practical details

The kennel is at 6416 Alexander Drive, Chapel Hill, NC 27514. Hours are 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday and 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturday. Daycare runs during those same weekday hours, which works for long shifts or for days when contractors are in the house. Sunday is a narrow window, 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, so plan Sunday drop-offs and pickups around it. Booking and questions go through 984-484-8965 or chapelhillpetretreat@gmail.com, and rates and service details are posted at chapelhillpetretreat.com.
