Golden Retreat For K9s

This place is the best! We've been taking our little terrier here for almost 8 years and I feel so lucky it's nearby. Donna is so friendly and so good with all the dogs. It's a very welcoming and homey environment. The rooms the dogs stay in are actual rooms (not cages), with doors giving access to the fenced-in outdoors. When we first moved here, we toured a number of boarding places in the Fauquier/Culpepper/Rappahannock area and this was by far the best and most comfortable. Now 18 (!), our dog has been a happy guest there for a long time and I know, once a new dog comes our way, we'll be long time regulars once again.

My dogs love going there. They are always well taken care of. Very professional, friendly, and accommodating.

Awesome facility .. feels like home, with indoor/outdoor suites for the dogs that don't feel cagelike. Indoors the suites extend into a living room like area. Outside is a big fenced play area. Professionally run with ability to provide individualized attention because it's small, not a big dog care warehouse. Our dogs were able to stay together in a good sized suite. Price is good too. A number of really big dogs - definitely a perfect place for large dogs. Our dogs were well cared for on a long stay, and we can definitely recommend!

Colonial Newfoundland Rescue is here. Donna is doing incredible work finding forever homes for these wonderful gentle Giants. The whole team do such a great job of interviewing families and checking out homes. They even helped us be patient when one dog was likely a bad fit with our multi-dog family. Our Freya has already settled in and is enjoying touring the house and finding willing belly scratchers everywhere she goes.

I am a local veterinarian and I board my dogs with Golden Retreat. They are always excited when we pull up and want to run back to their suite (and then out back to play). Over the years my dogs have received excellent care. From a veterinarian's perspective, the folks at Golden Retreat have always recognized and sought care for the occasional medical issue they have noticed in a boarder. Having such a high quality boarding facility in the area is one of the reasons I do not feel the need to offer boarding at our nearby veterinary hospital.
