Charlie, our 3 year old beagle, has been going to Karnik since he was 3 months old. We rescued Charlie from a beagle group out of Wisconsin, so he is a cheesehead, but he fit right in with the other dogs at Karnik. Not only do we love the interaction Charlie has with the other dogs, the folks at Karnik in Waterville/Monclova are great to work/chat with. They always let me know how Charlie's stay was and how he behaved. On a sad note, Karnik also had to cremate two of our beloved pets, Jenny, our cat, and Spencer, our beagle. Karnik handle this with complete professionalism and compassion, as it was such a difficult time for us. Pricing is comparable and fair (except for nail trimming expense, too high!), but otherwise, I wouldn't/couldn't choose another place other than Karnik Pet Lodge. Thank you Karnik for taking care of Charlie and giving us a much needed break from time to time! read more

Miles our Giant Schnoodle has been going to doggy daycare for almost 2 years once or twice a week . He absolutely loves coming and cries with excitement when we pull in the driveway . We appreciate all the effort and time the wonderful staff puts in to make sure the dogs are having fun . The staff always puts the dogs safety first when when putting together the playgroups .Miles loves the doggy pool and special event days they have about once a month. We were very impressed our first month when MIles got a small cut and needed stitches . We were not sure if he got hurt at home or at Karnik .They graciously offered to pay the vet bill in full. We have highly recommended Karnik to friends and neighbors. read more

We could not be happier with Karnik on Black! We take our 1 year 4 month pit mix there and she absolutely loves it. She goes to doggy day care every other week. The employees knew who we were on day one, which tells me they know all their clients. I dropped her off in the morning and they said, "this must be Rosie!" And then when my wife picked her up later that day, they said, "you must be here for Rosie." Their three-day assessment is thorough and FAR above the care you get anywhere else in town. For me it is worth the extra few minutes drive to take her somewhere I know she is cared for. Their social media is amazing, too! Cannot recommend them enough. read more

We've been taking our dog, Mario, to the Karnik for six years and have never had anything but the best experiences with the establishment. The staff is great, as a previous reviewer posted, in that the are always professional and friendly, and it's very clear that they love the animals with whom they are trusted. I never worry about how my dog is going to be treated whether he is spending the day at doggy daycare, or is staying over night. I would probably even trust these people with my kids... Prices for all services are very reasonable as well--we never feel like we're going to break the bank if Mario has to stay for a few days. Highly recommended! read more

This time it was just one night and two half days of doggie day care, but we have also used Karnik for extended overnight stays as well. Each time Java stays at Karnik, we are comfortable knowing we can check on him anytime and often. The camera in his suite allows us to be reassured he is relaxing. The employees are caring and even spend some time with Java to make sure he's comfortable in his suite. This is the only place we trust to leave our Java. read more

Ever since our daughter worked at Karnik seventeen years ago, we've been bringing our dogs for boarding and doggy day care. Our current dog, Ava, loves to go to Karnik. She gets really excited when we pack her bag, and can hardly wait to get inside to play with the other dogs. The staff is really friendly, and we know that Ava is safe and has fun. They know her by name and are always glad to see her. I would definitely recommend Karnik of Waterville. read more

I confidently recommend Karnik on Black to care for four legged family members. My Rottweiler was well taken care of throughout her life whenever I had to travel, whether a few days or a week or more. Even in her older years with limited mobility she had the accommodations needed. And the care shown with her cremains was beyond expectations. Knowing that I got back my dear friend was a comfort in a tough time. read more

Our dogs are always so well cared for at Karnik on Black. All the carers are friendly, loving, and give us updates on how the dogs were during their visit.

Take your dogs to day care or to board overnight. They are the best. read more

The staff are always friendly and helpful whenever I bring Molly in for daycare or boarding. The place is very clean and well designed to make our pets feel comfortable. Molly's behavior is a very good indicator of how well they take care of her. She runs right up to the staff and gets excited, tail wagging, and runs right to the door to the play area every time we come in. read more

Had our dog groomed here twice now. It's a very clean facility with a friendly staff. You can tell they sincerely care about your pet. Our dog has a skin condition and they were well versed in the special care needed. Vicky is an amazing groomer and communicates with people on the same level. It's not close for me, but I make the drive for the excellent experience. read more
