We are relocating to NC and will need pet boarding for our dog and 2 cats. We have never boarded them before and are very nervous about the whole idea. Unfortunately, under the circumstances it is absolutely necessary. We are looking for the Matthews area. Any recommendations?

I am like you I don't really like to board our dog but sometimes we have to so I use Continental Boarding (704) 504-0025, they are further away off of 485 but they are great and I rest on vacation knowing that my baby is being well taken care off. I have looked at other places but these guys are great and our dog loves it there. She always comes home happy and tired from all the running and playing she does there. She is bathed and comes home with her bedding clean. Drive out there and check they place out, they will show you around//but book early for the holidays for they do book up pretty fast.
A lesson we learned the hard way.
I am not sure where in Matthews you are and if you think Indian Trail is out of the way but I always use VIP Kennels on 74 across from Dale Jarrett Ford. They are great there and absolutely adore my little baby. They charge $20/night and that includes food unless you want to bring your own. And we always arrange for a bath and sprucing up the day we pick her up and she is beautiful. They do a great job. We have used them about 10-15 times now and would not use anyone else. Oh and they also book up fast but lately I have been able to get her in without a hitch. I am not sure if its because I use them so often but when I drop her off, their kennels are full.

when we first moved here we had to board our dog for 2 days till we were in our apartment...we tried waxhaw animal hospital. i wasn't crazy about it though, but it might just be because we HATE boarding our dog. we have family friends that use them all the time and are happy with them...ibut would avoid using them, our dog was very stinky when she came home and she was very stressed out there as they said she had a lot of accidents and didn't eat well. i don't really have a suggestion of where to go, but just to maybe avoid waxhaw animal hospital.
for when you are settled in here and need someone to care for your pets while you are away, we came across a pet sitting service called GopherDogs and we have been very happy with them.
I guess some dogs do well w/ boarding, but my dog is shy and I could never do that to her. I have a wonderful petsitter, Jennifer, owner of Carolinas Critter Sitters (carolinascrittersitters.com). My babies (dog and cat) LOVE her, and I started using her the month after DH and I relocated here from OR in early '07. We've used her at least 30 times and we've been very happy with her and her sitters. She has sitters that serve the entire Charlotte area. Best of luck!
