Wickersham's K-9 Ranch Inc. 6010 Fish Road, Marshville, NC 28103

"We booked our dog at Wickersham’s K-9 Ranch over the New Year holiday, and we highly recommend them! Because we were coming from out of state (FL), they worked hard to accommodate us for dropping off Maddie. They showered Maddie with love and attention on her first day due a mix-up on her Bordatella vaccine that kept Maddie isolated from other dogs; recommended a local vet for administering the vaccine; and incorporated Maddie into the group afterwards. They showed commitment to the well-being of all the dogs in their care. They provided a fantastic experience for Maddie, who is VERY social! From the pics we saw on the Facebook page, Maddie was in the thick of the fun with all of her new best friends. She enjoyed exercise and socialization throughout her stay. The dog who came home was quite different in some wonderful ways: Maddie is a rescue and displays some nervousness at being left or separated from her people; she also can be a little hesitant to meet new people. Both of these traits basically disappeared during her stay. When we returned from her vet appointment, she did not display any reluctance to return to the Ranch, eagerly greeting the staff again (especially Riley!). She loped off after the other dogs for some play time w/o any anxiety. Since we picked her up and returned home, she behaves well, has matured (she’s just over 2 years old), is calmer, is quicker to obey, and shows a greater openness to meeting strangers on our walks in the neighborhood. Our experience with, and Maddie’s stay at Wickersham’s K-9 Ranch was an exceptionally positive experience for all involved. We look forward to returning on future visits to the Charlotte area … and so does Maddie!"

"Our dog has stayed at the K-9 Ranch a few times now. He stays happy and healthy in their care and we like that he gets to spend lots of time outside running and playing. There was a slight snafu once on delivery v/s pick up and their team cared enough to find a resolution. Highly recommend!"

"The best! Our pup has a blast and is able to be so active and swim while we are away! Love knowing he gets so much fun and outdoor time. And the pickup/drop off service is an amazing help."

"We have a large dog with high needs/bad separation anxiety. We have taken him to a few different boarding facilities in the past, but none of them quite had the space/care needed for us to feel comfortable leaving him for extended periods of time. The care Ollie received from the moment the Wickersham team picked him up from our home was exceptional. This is one of the few places we have found that allows dogs to roam/play outside (while supervised) all day, and kept us updated with texts and pictures (even on Thanksgiving day). I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants to make sure their dog isn't cooped up all day inside a tiny kennel. Very happy with the care and attention of the entire team and have already booked his next stay!"

"Fabulous retreat for your canine pal. I checked them out one day last Decenber and my dog seemed very happy meeting the staff then. So we made a reservation for a week this past February. She loved it! Lots of running and playing, she was so tired when she came home. We plan to make future vacation plans for our dog here knowing she is well cared for and happy with this location."
