NoDa Bark And Board

NoDa Bark And Board is a dog daycare and overnight boarding facility at 2001 N Davidson St in Charlotte, NC. It takes dogs for single days of supervised play or for longer stays, which makes it worth a look for anyone comparing dog boarding in Charlotte's arts district. The day is structured rather than open-ended: play sessions, a scheduled break, then more play.

What they offer

• Supervised playgroups
• Indoor and outdoor play
• A set nap time during the day
• Medication administration for dogs that need it
• Accommodation for special diets

What a stay looks like

Dogs spend their time in supervised groups rather than alone in a run. Play happens both inside and out, and a nap period is built into the schedule, so the day isn't wall-to-wall activity. Overnight guests sleep on a raised dog cot instead of a bare floor. Staff handle medications and special dietary needs for the dogs who require them.

Practical details

Weekday hours run 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday through Friday, covering both daycare and boarding. Saturdays and Sundays are set aside for boarding drop-off and pick-up only, with no daycare on those two days. Booking is done by phone at 704-376-0801. Vaccinations are required before a dog can stay. Published pricing starts at $38 per day, and the full rate list is posted on nodabarkandboard.com.

Who it suits

The setup works for owners who want their dog in a social, staffed environment during the workday, and for travelers who need somewhere close to the NoDa neighborhood for overnight care. Dogs who don't enjoy group play are a weaker match, since supervised playgroups are the center of how the day runs here.
