Carolina Doggie Playland

We love Christy at Carolina Doggy Playland! Very friendly and affordable! Darla always comes home tired after a full day of playing. I love watching her on the live doggy cam. I recommend this daycare to all of Darlas friends :)

I can’t say enough good things about Carolina Doggie Playland. We have taken our dog here whenever we head out of town and can’t find someone to watch him or know that he just needs a day or two to get some energy out.
Convenient location, great prices and services makes for a perfect experience every time.

I love Carolina Doggie Playland and so does my dog! When I drop her off, she doesn’t even look back at me, she just runs to the doggie play area. The owners and employees are incredible. They welcome my dog like she’s one of their own, cater to her digestive needs (very sensitive stomach) and always make me feel like she’s being taken care of as if she was at home. I never worry about leaving her and love that she loves Carolina Doggie Playland. She has stayed at two other overnight daycares in Charlotte (only because CDP was booked) and the service at CDP is by far the best in the city. Love it and love that they love my dog!

I love this place and so does my dog. The employees and owner are wonderful people… Super friendly and caring. And you can tell they are very knowledgable about their four-​legged guests. I’ve never had an issue scheduling a time to drop off or pick up. A great find!

It took me too long to write this but I love this place. Have been using it for about 3 years now and even though we have moved a bit far away is the only place I wold take my 2 dogs. They have gone above and beyond for us. My dogs have stayed for long periods from 3 days to 15. I highly recommend Christy and her team.

These girls are the best! Almost every time I drop off or pickup my dogs the girls tell me how much they love them. My dogs come home exhausted which is great for me!

We LOVE Carolina Doggie Playland. We cannot say enough positive things about them. They are dog lovers first and a business second, which means they have reasonable hours, your dogs play all day for no extra cost to you, and I never worry about the quality of care our 80 lb yellow lab is getting when he’s there.
We’ve tried other dog boarding places when we went away, and were either disappointed by the terrible lack of communication (one place I called 5 times in one weekend because I needed to tell them something I forgot to tell them before I dropped our pup off, and they NEVER responded.) Carolina Doggie Playland has been responsive both by phone and on email.
Also, I love that they are located directly across the street from a vet so if (heaven forbid) one of the dogs should need emergency care, they’re right there to help.
When our dog came home from other daycares and boarding places, he wasn’t tired out. When he comes home from Carolina Doggie Playland he is tired and happy as can be. We will definitely be back again and again.
Stats:
— Drop off and pick up are between 7am and 7pm Mon-​Friday and shorter hours on Sat & Sun
— Food and all-​day supervised play in huge play areas are included in each night stay
— Boarding is counted by the night, so no worrying about getting charged an extra half day if you can’t pick up your pooch until the late afternoon
— If you have two dogs, the second dog is half price
— They will contact your vet for you to get all of your dog’s health records (no annoying phone calls and faxing of forms like other places require!)
— One free daycare day is provided to you as a «trial» before any dog is taken on an overnight stay
They knew us by name the very first time we came to board our pup (two whole weeks after he had his trial day!) Now that’s a good business!

If you live or am visiting the Charlotte area I promise this is the best doggie daycare/​boarding facility there. They have pools and sprinklers in the summer, and are very clean and caring with any furry loved ones. Whether you have a puppy who has special needs, or a very hyper one, their staff is extremely patient and loving to each doggie equally. They will cater to all of your needs or concerns. My baby Eli visited there plenty of times, and since we moved from Charlotte, I can’t express exactly how much he misses it!!!

Five years later and the experience at Carolina Doggie Playland is just as good as it was before. When I called to make an appointment to bring our two girls in to stay a few nights, they knew exactly who I was, who they were and were ready to go. I barely even gave her my name and she knew about these two dogs and their history. How cool is that?
Picking the dogs up at the end of their stay was just as easy. The dogs were EXHAUSTED after spending the day running and playing with other dogs.
We remain extremely pleased with Carolina Doggie Playland and will continue to use them when our canines can’t be here in our home.

If you love your dog and want them to be treated better than home — bring them to Carolina Doggie Playland. They are true dog people and want everyone to be happy!

My wife and I don’t have kids — well, not human ones, anyway. But we have been blessed with 2 precious pooches — the late, great Boom Boom, a hefty English bulldog; and Billie, a bouncy Cavalier King Charles. Both came from award-​winning breeders, and Billie is enjoying same pampered life that our McDouble-​loving bulldog did during her 12 years, 5 months and 3 days with us.
Nothing but the best — be it their cuisine or their sleeping arrangements.
Which brings me to Carolina Doggie Playland. A neighbor recommended Christy & Co. to us when we moved to Charlotte from Atlanta 4 years ago, and are we ever glad for that. I knew, within 5 minutes of my first visit to the brick building at 3111 South Tryon Street, that Playland was the place — the only place — for our girls. Between holiday trips, vacations and daycare, Boom Boom, then Billie have probably spent 30 overnights and another 25 days there. Neither has ever come home with as much as a dirty paw, let alone the fleas and flus I’ve heard horror stories about with other places. Billie, who’ll turn 9 months old next week, looks forward to her visits even more than she does her favorite brand of bone.
(Another perk: in between picking her up around 6 p.m. and driving her the 3 miles it takes to get home, Billie — pooped from playing all day with other dogs her size — falls into a deep slumber, making for a peaceful rest of the night).
I’m a worrywart by nature but I never, ever stress about out pet’s stay at Playland. Christy ensures as much by e-​mailing me cute «pupdates» — ones I didn’t even ask for — anytime we’re out of town for a night. She’s not just a dog lover but a dog owner — and it really shows.
I’ve never reviewed a restaurant, a hotel, a movie theater, anything. Never really felt compelled to … until having great experience after great experience with CDP. If you need further convincing from someone who’s nothing more than a very satisfied customer, feel free to look me up on Facebook or LinkedIn and just ask.

I have been taking my German Shepherd to CDP for almost 7 years. Words can not express how wonderful the staff is here. The prices are reasonable and I have complete trust in the them when it comes to taking care of my baby girl. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Clean, great staff and Sunday hours!!! Only con is that is is a little expensive for long trips.
