Reserve early →Chris Braund and Karen Van Sickler built Pampered Pets Inn with one belief: the families of Lake Norman deserve a pet resort that matches their standards. Not a kennel. Not a boarding facility. A true resort — clean, beautiful, peaceful, and functional.
We operate on 2.25 wooded acres adjacent to wetlands, with a 6,000 sq ft climate-controlled facility, a saltwater pool, water park, and enrichment-based programming that keeps your pet genuinely happy — not just housed.
Our team holds Fear Free, Paragon, and Dog Handler Academy certifications. A Registered Vet Technician is always on staff. And Macy and Finley — our resident consultants — approve every suite.
Splash time built into every boarding and daycare stay. No chlorine — just clean, filtered lake-style play.
15-minute guided trail walks through woods and wetlands. An add-on that every nature-loving dog earns.
Every suite includes elevated orthopedic beds with lambswool fleece, dog-friendly music, and your pet's own comfort item.
Megan Staub, RVT/CPDT-KA, leads our pet care team. We can administer topical, oral, and injectable medications.
Optional daily report card with photos. Active updates via Instagram and Facebook so you never miss a moment.
Dedicated programming for small dogs — sized-right playgroups, specialized equipment, and fleece sweaters for outdoor comfort.
