Heads or Tails Pet Care

Heads or Tails Pet Care offers dog boarding and daycare in Charlotte, NC, from a house on Olinda Street on the east side of the city. It is a licensed and insured operation built around a home-away-from-home stay, so dogs live in a household setting rather than a row of runs. Overnight care, daytime care, and a few add-on services all happen at the same address.

What owners can book

The core services are overnight boarding and daycare. Grooming extras and training are also offered, and pickup and dropoff is available for owners who can't make the trip themselves.

• Overnight boarding and daytime daycare
• Fully fenced backyard, plus a backyard pool for hot days
• Indoor play, brain games, and a doggie treadmill for rainy stretches
• Bath and nail trim before pickup
• Medication administration and special diets

What makes this one different

Two things stand out. The first is the daily updates: photos and notes sent while an owner is away, which matters most on longer trips. The second is what happens when the weather turns. Between the treadmill and the brain games, dogs still get exercise and mental work on days the yard is too wet to use. Pool access during a Charlotte summer is worth noting too. Dogs on medication or a restricted diet can be handled, so seniors and dogs with medical needs aren't automatically turned away.
