K9 Playland

"My puppies were so happy to spend a week at K9 playland and I loved seeing pictures of them on Instagram"

"Always the best! We have been sending our dogs there for 12+ years (yes they are old) and they are so well cared for."

"Great and caring staff. Local small business in south end, they care about the guest like they were their own pets!"

"My dog has been coming to K9 Playland for about 5 years now and he absolutely loves it! The staff is always very kind and welcoming when he comes in for daycare/boarding and always makes sure to post him on their Instagram during his stay! Would highly recommend K9 Playland for your pups daycare or boarding needs!"

"When my puppy and I moved from Florida to Charlotte, he was only 7 months old. Naturally I was concerned about finding a great day care, boarding place, groomer, and vet for my little guy. I did my research and came across K9 Playland which seemed to be a great fit for our daycare and boarding needs. It was clean, offered early morning and late night daycare hours, and I liked the setup of the indoor outdoor play area as well as the individual suites for boarding. My gut feeling was validated when a few friends also mentioned K9 Playland. Fast forward to now, my puppy has been attending K9 Playland for daycare when I have long workdays and boarding when I am out of town. He has been going for 5 months. He never perks up in the car the way he does when we pull into the parking lot. Then he pulls me to the door. He can’t get inside fast enough. He is always greeted by the owner, manager, or one of the staff who know him by name and are so excited to see him. Our welcome always feels as if we are the only ones there (even though we are one of many with so many other dogs playing all day). They are very organized when taking and returning my pups things for boarding, and have an easy to use online booking system. My pup always comes home exhausted, safe, healthy and in even better condition than when I dropped him off. He loves being there. Even more important to share is how K9 Playland handled an extreme health scare/emergency situation when my pup was neglected and hurt when in a week long training program with a trainer in Charlotte and was then dropped to K9 Playland for boarding for 9 days. I had no idea he was as sick as he was when I dropped him off. I asked the K9 Playland team to keep an eye on him since he was a bit lethargic and not eating too well. What unfolded for the following 9 days was extremely scary, traumatic, and heartbreaking not only for me who was so far away but for my pup and the K9 Playland team. I cannot express enough how much they stepped up and took care of my puppy. I felt like he had their undivided attention and was the only pup there. I received frequent calls and texts from the owner and the manager, everything was documented, and when I contemplated cutting my trip short to fly back, they assured me they knew what they were doing and that he was in good hands. Wasn’t that the truth! They monitored his eating, energy, stomach swelling, bathroom habits, and did what they needed to do to get him feeling better. They had to clean up his mess several nights in a row and never complained. The entire team truly stepped up including the owner! I quickly realized my puppy was being cared for at K9 Playland better than I could have handled things myself. They continued to reach out and check on him for several days after he had already come back home. They all went above and beyond. I highly highly recommend K9 Playland for boarding, baths, daycare…whatever your pup may need. They will certainly show up for your pet!"
