My husband and I boarded our Italian Greyhound here while visiting Charlottesville, VA. Italian…read moreGreyhounds are generally timid, sensitive dogs and we rarely board our dog so I was a little nervous about dropping him off for the day. The staff could not have been more accommodating. They figured out which dogs he placed best with and when we picked him up we found him in the grooming area where he could be around staff. He seemed very content there and I have no doubt he was cared for well. In reading other reviews, sure the place does smell like dogs are there but I could care less. What do you care about more...your dog being well cared for or the dog smell? I think it is an unrealistic expectation to hope that a dog boarding facility won't have a dog smell. I highly doubt the dogs mind. Great overall experience and very thankful my husband found this place.

The staff is personable and looks out for the dogs. The dogs are matched with playgroups that work best for their personalities and play styles.

My pup has been here once for his "interview" and once for daycare. Since then, I have made a…read morerecurring weekly appointment. Overall, the staff was extremely friendly and ATTENTIVE. They put a ton of time and effort into making sure each dog maxes out on fun while staying safe and happy. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog here and the hours of operation make it convenient to do so. I will say that the prices are significantly higher than what I'm used to paying for the same quality of care, though I can't blame them too much from a business perspective (not a lot of competition in C'ville). If they lowered the cost per day by even $5 I'd definitely consider switching to twice a week!

WARM & WONDERFUL!! I would recommend Virginia Dare to anyone who has any type of dog training…read moreneed. She is professional, warm, easy with pets and children as well as adults. Virginia is non-judgmental, patient, attentive and truly loves animals. Her pricing is reasonable and if I have any future needs, I am going back to her! There are levels of training - even if your dog is already good with basic commands, she can get him/her and you to the next level. I have a rescue who had a number of behavior problems (jumping, nipping, uncontrolled enthusiasm) - much of this is related to his age, but Virginia gave us tools that reduced and even eliminated his poor behavior. Training approach - Rewards-based (although there are alternative methods she will work with you on if you'd like) Technique - Praise / non-responsive to poor behavior (no military-style approach!) Responsiveness & Availability - Any question I had I was able to ask her either during the training session or in follow up (email or phone). Virginia's goal was to ensure we were getting the behavior we wanted to see. Whenever I had to reschedule a training session, she was very flexible and understanding. Overall character - Virginia is someone I'd love to call a friend - she is warm and friendly and is kind and consistent with everyone! I'd though my children (both 9) would be 'in the way', however, Virginia included them in the training sessions and it was great! My daughter became very skilled in training our Ivan. Virginia is very gentle with everyone and has a refreshingly open view of living with dogs. Follow-up - Virginia always followed up after each training session to ask if there were questions. She provided detailed reference for us that we could review and more deeply understand the 'why' of the training. She did explain everything during the training, but it was very helpful to have written material to refer to afterwards.
