Dog Boarding in Gordonsville, VA

“As pet owners, leaving our beloved furry family members in the care of others can often be a daunting task, especially when they have special needs like anxiety and reactivity, as with our Mocha. From the moment we met Charissa, her genuine care and passion for animals was palpable. Her welcoming demeanor immediately put us at ease, and it was evident that she truly cares about what she does. Despite Mocha’s anxious nature, Charissa ensured that she had the opportunity to socialize in a controlled and supervised setting. It is heartwarming to witness Mocha's excitement upon arrival at Charissa’s and her peaceful demeanor alongside many other dogs. We feel confident leaving Mocha in Charissa’s care, knowing that she is not only in a safe environment but also receiving the love and attention she deserves.”

“Hank came home exhausted which means he had a blast. Cynthia did a great job in every Dept from communication to updates throughout the weekend. We were extremely pleased with her work.”

“We once again had a wonderful experience with Michele. Coco was so happy to be at their place and Michele’s communication is on point. She kept sending regular updates and pictures of Coco. Michele & Trenton’s home has become our preferred dog boarding and we will continue boarding Coco at their home. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Coco.”

“Jon and Stephanie took such good care of my dog while I was away! As an apartment pup, he was in heaven in the big back yard with other dogs to play with. I recommend them!”

“Can’t put in words how amazing Mary is! I got pictures of my fur baby daily which was so reassuring. She treats your pet like her own with how detail oriented she is! 10/10 would recommend.”

About: We live on a huge farm and we are home most of the time. We have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes, but we prefer to board mainly pets under 50 lbs. We have house sitting experience and we have experience with older pets and those needing medical care. As a biologist I am happy to feed, check on, and care for any species as long as you can tell me what they need and prefer. One adult is almost always home at the farm. We have very flexible jobs. We also can work our schedule to suit caring for animals. I personally love training animals and my husband and I both walk dogs as much as possible, a couple miles a day. We are very cuddly with both dogs and cats if that is what the dogs and cats want. We can administer meds. I work full days until 2:30 M-F and my husband teaches and does other work part-time. He can handle drop-ins during the day week. Richard loves to walk and be outside with pets. I have one older dog who is extremely calm and sweet, and two cats. We go for multiple walks each day. While the entire farm is fenced, we also have a smaller dog area that is about 1000 Sq Ft. This is to prevent any mishaps regarding your pet getting lost on the farm. We have room inside for kennels for medium sized dogs. We allow dogs on our furniture.

“Reuben took excellent care of my dog, Maverick. He genuinely cared about the well-being of animals and wants to make sure your pet is comfortable. I had no worries about Maverick or his care while I was out of town. Thank you!”

“If you're anything like me and hate leaving your furry family member for any amount of time, let me just say there are NO worries while in Charity's care! She is PHENOMENAL and the communication is top notch. We've had experiences in the past boarding our dog Janey that weren't pleasant so we were worried about this trip, but Charity treated her as her own and the daily updates with photos were extremely comforting. If you need an AMAZING sitter then Charity is the one! You won't be disappointed!!!”

“Heather and Nigel's home is a dog paradise! I felt great leaving Joni with them for 3 nights and received daily updates and photos. Thank you for taking such good care of her!”

“Aly was an excellent pet sitter. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos. Harper had a great week. We would definitely use her again!”

“Katina is amazing. Our dog is always super happy to go and is in great spirits when we pick her up. You can’t go wrong trusting your dogs with Katina! She’s the best!”

“Paula, was a terrific sitter for Sirius. We really appreciated her flexibility with extending Sirius’s stay when our plans changed. Sirius came home happy and tired. Win win!”

“Opal had the best week staying with Diana and her family! She was as spoiled by them as she is at home. I feel so fortunate to have found Diana and she will definitely be our “go-to” for our fur babies in the future.”

“Jelena, Ian and their kids are amazing. My dog, who's high-maintenance and needy, LOVED staying at their place. They kept her happy and busy. She was relaxed and properly tuckered out when she returned home.”

“Mandy was calm and very efficient, and took great care of our two dogs. We would definitely trust Mandy to take care of them again in the future!”

“Our girl had the best time with Hope and her dog, Loretta! Hope was great at keeping us updated, and we loved seeing photos of the dogs running around the backyard, playing together, and going for walks. Would 10/10 recommend!”

“Kara took fantastic care of our dog Zorro while we were on vacation! She send pictures and updates on daily bases and offer drop off/pick up option that helped us tremendously. Her dog Bandit played with Zorro every day and when he came home we was very exercised and happy. Highly recommend Kara and would absolutely use her services in the future!”

“Nathan was wonderful! Very communicative and accommodating. Our pups had a ball, enjoyed great company and had no problems adjust to a new environment. Thanks to Nathan and his wife for being such a loving home away from home”

“Linkin had a wonderful time with Julie and her family! I could not have asked for a better communicator, and “fill in” dog mom while I was away! Linkin was well taken care of and sooo happy! Thank you for your help!”

“This was my first time using Jayne and Rowan, and it was an extremely positive experience. We did a meet-n-greet first, for them to meet my dog and to make sure that there were no issues with their two dogs and mine. Jayne and Rowan were very accommodating regarding the drop off and pick up times- which was so helpful to me. They sent a video and photos during my dog's stay, and it was clear that she was well taken care of and that she was having a lot of fun. My dog got walked , taken to a park and lots of hugs. After playing so well with one of their dogs, she came home happy. What more could I ask for? I highly recommend Jayne and Rowan to take care of your dog.”
