The Cottages offers luxury dog boarding in individual climate-controlled cottages with private decks and spacious play yards, located in Central Virginia between Richmond and Charlottesville. Run by experienced staff with shelter backgrounds, they prioritize safety, comfort, and personalized attention—each dog gets at least 45 minutes of one-on-one playtime daily. Their 5-star rating reflects their commitment to making dogs feel like they're on vacation rather than in a kennel.

Individual Cottages with Private Decks: Dogs stay in spacious 6'x11' climate-controlled cottages with private decks and either gravel yards or semi-private grassy play areas—not kennels or cages.
