Southport Kennel

Southport Kennel offers dog boarding and daycare in Spartanburg, SC, from a facility at 1011 Southport Road that takes dogs of every size, from small breeds up to giant ones. Cats board there as well.

What the facility is like

The kennel sits on more than two acres of wooded property and holds nearly 10,000 square feet of boarding space. Boarding areas are climate-controlled, and both dog and cat suites include raised bedding. There is indoor play space along with outdoor room to move around.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding for dogs and cats, including private suites
• Daycare with supervised play and enrichment activities
• Two meals a day and fresh water
• Spa services: nail trims, teeth cleaning, and Furminator deep brushing
• Photo and text updates sent to owners during a stay

What sets it apart

Socialization here is optional rather than automatic. Dogs that like company can be paired with carefully matched playmates, and dogs that do better on their own keep their own space. That choice matters for older dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs boarding for the first time. The photo and text updates are a small touch that makes a long trip easier on the owner.

Practical details

Boarding rates published on the kennel's site run from $24 to $48 per night. Reservations are made by phone at 864.585.1050. Pets must be up to date on their vaccinations before a stay. The kennel is open 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to noon on Saturday, and 2:00 to 6:00 PM on Sunday, and those windows double as drop-off and pick-up times.
