Cat Sitters in Golansville, VA

Day one back my boy is now so we'll behaved!

Barbara and Vera are the absolute best when it comes to dogs. Their knowledge is impeccable and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my babies. Thank you ladies for always making my time with you special.

Tucked away kennel/boarding buisness in the country that is perfect for any dog. Barb the owner was so sweet and caring for and with our dog when we recently went on vacation. This buisness keeps it simple and only accepts cash or check and was so friendly and accommodating. I will definitely recommend this place to family and friends and will most definitely be using them again in the future.

What is better than one GSD? MANY MORE GSD! We first used this local kennel when we arrived in VA in 2017. They were so kind,professional, and genuine, taking good care of our new GSD pup and our older lab. We have used them recently too and were just as satisfied. Definitely recommend if you have a pup that you need to board while you’re out of town. You will have peace of mind knowing your GSD (or lab, or _ pup) is being cared for by folks that literally do this for a living.

My sitter cancelled on me. Hecctic to find a place I called here. They had spa e and my dogs spent 10 days with her. Both scared rescues we're well cared for, csme home happy and ate for her something no one else has been able to do when we are away. Highly recommend. Kind, clean family owned.

We purchased a pup over 20 years ago and she was by far the best GSD ever. Barbara is very knowledgeable when it comes to the breed.

"Snickers" fits right in. Great to know that someone (Barbara) knows how to care for GSD'S being she raises champions on the property. They have indoor a/c kennels, outside kennels, dog training and large property for dog walkings.

Most friendly puppies and people and lovable family

My little buddy had a pleasant stay, will definitely visit again.

Clean, well-kept kennel run by someone with years of experience. Would board my dogs there any time!

We recently purchased a beautiful black Lab from Wendy Bonello of Crest Hill Kennels, following the sudden and unexpected loss of our beautiful black lab of 10 1/2 years young. Wendy was incredibly compassionate, sympathetic, and helpful throughout the process. She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and made the experience so much easier. After much discussion with my husband, we decided to make the drive from Canada to Virginia to pick out one of Wendy’s dogs. Her dogs are truly gorgeous. When we arrived at the kennel, I was blown away by how pristine and well-maintained it was. I’ve never seen a kennel kept to such a high standard. Wendy and her staff were amazing—they made sure everything was ready for us and helped us prepare for our trip back to Canada. She had all the necessary documents for border crossing, and when we returned home, there were no issues whatsoever. Wendy is both incredibly professional and genuinely kind, which made this experience even better. I highly, highly recommend her as a breeder and would absolutely purchase from her again, especially from Canada, given how wonderful her dogs are. Thank you, Wendy! We love our new girl ❤️

Wendy has found her true calling.!Consumate professional who attracts and hires outstanding support staff. Facilities are well thought out and designed well. We have not used her kennel but if we lived closer we would board the lab pub we got from her. Wendy and her staff are very accessible and truly knowledgeable. Plus, they can not hide the fact they love their work!

We’ve used Cresthill multiples times over the last 5 years for boarding and have always felt comfortable knowing our dogs are well taken care of. The staff have always been friendly and the facility is clean/well maintained. Highly recommend!

We have taken our black & white Lab mix dog to Cresthill Kennels multiple times! He fell in love on his first stay. The staff at Cresthill are truly dog loving professionals and the animals know it. On each visit we also had our dog Domino take the nature trail walks. When we went to pick him up the first thing he did out the door was to lead us over to the nature trail to show off where he had been. Then, he really surprised us because we were ready to leave but he wanted to go back inside the kennel. We will be using Cresthill because what our dog loves we love too!

In May 2018, we purchased a puppy from Cresthill Kennels after visiting with several breeders in the area and reading the reviews online. Receiving a healthy puppy with a great disposition was of the most importance to us, The facility was very well kept and appeared much nicer than other facilities we visited. We met with the puppies they had available, and the kids picked out a nice 12 week old puppy to bring home. For the first 2 months, life with our new puppy was amazing! He had the best temperament of any puppy we’ve met, he never chewed anything other than his toys, and he was house broken within 2 weeks. We were all in love and couldn’t be happier. Unfortunately, around 5 months of age, we noticed lameness in our puppies front right leg that came on out of nowhere. It would come and go for about a month, typically after playing fetch or when first waking up from naps. Our veterinarian recommended that we try to rest him to see if it cleared up however, felt that it was likely OCD (Osteocondritis Dissecans) of the elbows. I stayed in contact with Cresthill throughout the process to keep them up to date on our puppy’s status and to see if they had any insight on what could be wrong with our puppy as we were very concerned at this point and just wanted to know what could be causing it, and if there was anything we could do to reverse the condition. Wendy was very responsive while we were trying to figure out what was wrong with him and even said that if it was OCD of the elbows, that she would cover him under their guarantee. That said, she assured us that she’s never had a puppy from her program have OCD and suggested that it could be something else like Lyme’s disease, injury, brought on by his diet, Pano, etc. all of which our veterinarian ruled out and disagreed with. After a few more weeks the problem only got worse, so we had x-rays taken which confirmed that he did suffer from OCD, but of the shoulder. This condition requires surgery to repair, it has a 80% - 90% success rate, almost guarantee’s early arthritis will occur in your pet, and you have to neuter your pet to avoid passing the condition along as it is hereditary. The surgery, xrays, vet visits have cost us $3500,00 to date. Costs aside, our puppy has been on full rest for 3 months now, with another 8 weeks to go while recovering from surgery. Literally only going outside on a leash to use the bathroom. As you can imagine, keeping a puppy kenneled around the clock is no fun for him or us. This is not the puppy experience that you hope for when spending over $2000.00. It has been brutal going through this for the past few months for the puppy and us. We are really hoping that after the recovery time that he’ll be healthy and back to himself and we can get back to some normalcy. When we reached back out to Cresthill to update them and asked for more information about the guarantee that Wendy mentioned in previous communications, we received no response. A few weeks later, after a few more phone calls, we were told that shoulders are not covered in their health guarantee. We asked them to reconsider given the seriousness of the condition which is hereditary, and the experience that we've had to go through, and costs incurred, and we were told that they would have to think about it and get back to us. That was the last we heard from Cresthill. Not only do I find it concerning that a breeder would simply not bother to respond to notices that one of their puppies suffers from this condition,, but we also don't know if they have taken any action to update their breeding program since they now have a history of producing a puppy affected with OCD. I would also highly recommend checking a breeders guarantee before spending this kind of money on a dog to see if shoulders are covered. The shoulder is the most common area for this condition to appear and some breeders will only cover it if it affects the hips or elbows.

Cresthill helped take care of our dogs for over a month while we were getting our home fixed after a house fire. They were so kind to us! They treated our dogs like they were their own! It’s a very special place!

Cresthill Kennels breeds amazing Labradors, and they're our trusted kennel when we travel. Can't recommend them enough! The best 👌 …

Well run breeder. Great experience. Thanks Cresthill!

We have gotten two dogs from Cresthill Kennels. I cannot say enough about how great our puppies are. They are both energetic and lively machines when we take them out into the woods but the sweetest creatures you would ever want, who settle down in our house Easily. Amazing! Thank you Wendy for all of your good work. The next time we get another dog you can be sure we will be getting it from Cresthill kennels.

The absolute nicest people and a very clean kennel. It's the only place I board my dogs. I drive 90 minutes to drop them off.

We had a wonderful experience boarding our pups at Wingmont Kennel. They came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Our frenchies were well taken care of by the caring and friendly staff. Like many pet parents, our dogs are family and we will make the drive from Richmond to Wingmont for the peace of mind they provided.

Bring your dog here if you want them to socialize with other dogs in a safe way, if you want your dog to be too happy, if you want them to have too much fun in the pool, if you want them to get too healthy from exercise, and if you want them to have too much love from the employees. We love Wingmont and so do our dogs!! I’m starting to think they like it there more than at home. Haha!

I just wanted to thank Wingmont so much for taking such good care of Rj! I was so nervous about leaving him and letting someone else care for him but they did an exceptional job! They didn’t mind my calls to check in, kept me informed and are the most friendly people. Rj left there very happy and healthy! They read him, did what he was comfortable with and he enjoyed every moment. He will be visiting there again in a few months for another week stay. I highly recommend Wingmont kennels for your pets home away from home 😊

They are amazing!! Our dog is always the most happy and the most worn out (good thing about going here)! Sometimes they post pictures on Facebook and he typically smells good, even after staying here for weeks! They even made him a birthday cake once

Best boarding in the greater Richmond area. Been taking our pup here for years and he has always come back exhausted (from playing) and well cared for. Prices are super reasonable and the staff has always been cheery and helpful.

Been using them a long time for our fur babies. Wouldn’t take them anywhere else! Staff really care about your pets!

Love Wingmont! Our Weimaraner, Mei, has been coming to Wingmont for boarding since she was a puppy. The staff is always very kind, sensitive to some of her separation anxiety, and does a great job helping me to feel better about the boarding process too! Because of Wingmont's care and attention to our pup, our family feels comfortable when traveling, knowing our girl is in good hands. Thank you to all at Wingmont!

It's the only place I trust to keep my dogs. It's an hour from where I live, but worth the drive.

Super happy with our experience so far. We experimented with taking our Golden, Amory, for an overnight and will definitely be taking him back for longer visits. Everyone was very cordial and they had no problem working with our schedule to let us drop off early and pick up a little late. Amory even came back to us with a cool little handkerchief adornment too. Keep up the great work guys!

Al loves it here! He loves the staff & they love him. He loves playing with the other puppies. It's the 1st time that He's willing to leave my side. We get to a certain point on the road and he knows where he's going, he stands up wags his tail and is ready to get out as if he knows the rest of the way to Wingmont! He is treated like a King! Some days I think he's not going to come home with me. I see him and he has a scarf around his neck he's prancing around and he says bye to the staff, it's adorable!
