With a heart for caring for pets and providing peace of mind to their owners when they travel, Canine World was born. We’re proud to be a state-of-the-art dog boarding facility where your pets stay on property with our family.
In addition to your pets, we reserve space to help foster and rescue dogs as they transition into forever homes!
Founder
Chris grew up in a military family that always included dogs. His love for them started very early. Chris moved to Port Charlotte, Florida, in 1986 and worked in construction. In 1993, he opened a roofing company and was blessed to serve the community there for many years. During that time, Chris began volunteering at shelters and spent a week in Utah at ‘Best Friends’ learning how to run a sanctuary. Soon, his love for dogs led him to put down the hammer and open a brick-and-mortar boarding facility with his wife Lisa in North Carolina. Through Canine World, they are excited to put down roots and serve their new community.
Our owner (Chris), along with his wife and their trusted small team care for each dog during their stay at Canine World. In addition to safety features, such as cameras and state-of-the-art facilities, there is someone on property at all hours to ensure your pet has the best possible stay!
While our camera system doesn’t currently support live-streaming, we do keep you up to date on your pet’s stay with us through updates that include messages and photos.
