Great Dog Kennels Around Fredericksburg, VA

Where Should Your Dog Stay While You Are Away?

April Bair
Choosing a place for your pet to stay while you are away is a very personal decision that each person has to arrive at in their own way. Professional credentials, references and being licensed and insured are important criteria to consider when making vacation arrangements for your 4 pawed friend but a visit to the kennel and meeting with those who will care for your family pet is essential.

The Fredericksburg area has several kennels and dog care services and your vet will usually have recommendations. Every dog boarding or pet sitting service will offer their personal style of service so get to know them and choose the kenneling service that feels right to you.

Silver Brook Kennels houses your dog in climate controlled areas with always open doggie door access to go outside. You are welcome to bring your pooches bedding for their stay but each run has a Kuranda Doggie Cot for their comfort. Daily rates are $30 per day. Other services offered by Silver Brook Kennels include obedience training and gun testing for hunting dogs. They advertise specializing "in expert care for special needs dogs" and happily accept healthy older pets.

Peace of Mind Pet Services is not a boarding facility but they offer pet sitting services. This is a great option for some dogs while you are away. Instead of kenneling leave your dog in the comforts of your home and have a pet sitter come by to feed, water and walk and play with them. Peace of Mind Pet Services provides pet care to the Fredericksburg area and charges about $45 per day for 3 half hour visits.
