Our story

A local family.
A real home.

We're Van and Zaahira. We have five kids and a lab named Ace who has never met a dog he didn't want to befriend. Between the seven of us and him, there is always someone here — and that's the whole idea behind how we run this.

Our property has one climate-controlled building and two connected fenced yards. We cap the number of dogs on the property at eight, counting boarding and daycare together. That's how many dogs a family can actually know by name, notice when something's off with, and give real attention to in a day.

Our goal is simple:
happier dogs and
more peace of mind
for the families
who love them.

“Hands down…AMAZING!!! The best space for my dogs and I m thrilled I found Z!!! My dogs have been for daycare and boarding both of which have been great…communication, care, my pups get excited when we pull in and are exhausted when I pick them up which means they played hard! I can’t recommend them enough!!!”

“So happy we found Lake Wylie Dog Boarding. Means so much to be able to travel without guilt. Our Boxer Mix is 12 years old and deaf. Even with his anxiety issues, Earl has made himself at home there. Thanks to Zee and her family.”
