Charlotte Kennels

Charlotte Kennels offers dog boarding, daycare, and grooming in Indian Trail, NC, from its facility at 5000 Sardis Drive. The kennel also takes cats and small pets, so households with more than one animal can arrange a single drop-off.

Services

• All-inclusive boarding with four potty breaks a day
• Doggie daycare with indoor play space and outdoor yards
• Five large play yards
• On-site grooming
• Cat boarding, including playtime in a kitty playroom

What stands out

Boarding is all-inclusive, and every dog gets a Kuranda cot and bedding. Potty breaks happen four times a day out in the yards, and the indoor play space means dogs still get exercise when the weather turns. Staff send daily photo updates by text, which owners tend to appreciate on longer trips. The buildings are climate controlled, and the team can administer medication for pets that need it on a schedule.

Food and special diets

The kennel accommodates allergy-conscious feeding and keeps a refrigerator and freezer on site for pet food, so refrigerated or frozen diets are workable. It also boards small and exotic animals, including ferrets, birds, and rabbits.

Practical details

Charlotte Kennels is open 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Saturday, and 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Sunday. The Sunday window is short, so weekend pickups take some planning. Reservations are booked online, and all pets must be current on vaccinations before they stay. The business is licensed and inspected by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and listed with the BBB. The office can be reached at 704-821-1318 or office@charlottekennels.com.
