Dog Boarding

We are based on the belief that our client’s dogs or other pets needs are of the utmost importance. We are committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat clients and referrals. We would welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver you the best care.

If you are like us, your pets have become family members. When you can’t be home for them, whether because of work, vacation or other obligations, you want them taken care of with the same love and attention you give them.

Golden Retreat For K9’s is a professional yet caring dog boarding service. Our pet resort is your dog’s home away from home. We are located in Amissville, Virginia in beautiful Rappahannock County. We are nestled in a scenic country setting where nature trails and wildlife abound.

Our facility is a pet resort with suites (not cages or runs) and a spacious play area where your dog can relax while you are away. We are not your traditional dog kennel. Each room is decorated and has a Kuranda dog bed(s), fans and full view windows and doors providing natural light. There are no doggie doors. Dogs are let out by us five times per day! This gives your pet the feeling of being at home.

At our dog resort we provide a vacation experience for your dog. You can be assured that they are safe, secure and having fun while you are away. If your dog is an only child we will try and team her/him up with a playmate while they are here.

Please bring their own food.  Food should be in it’s original container or marked with the brand and type. If bringing multiple dogs be sure to clearly mark with the dog’s name if on different food.  You can also bring treats, toys and chews (no rawhides or tennis balls).  For young dogs you should bring plenty of items to keep them happy.  If your dog is on medication bring in the original container or be sure to bring extra and clearly write the instructions.
