Jinnie
North Shore, Virginia
Highly trustworthy, competent, non-smoking animal lover.
Jinnie took great care of our cat Suki and they became firm friends during her stay. Jinnie was communicative and organised prior to the visit which helped. She was friendly and we had some lovely chats when we returned home.
Erin
North Shore, Virginia
Loving, adventurous professionals seek amazing pets to cuddle
Erin is an amazing pet sitter. This is her second time to sit with Gracie, which made the hand-off go smoothly. She sent me frequent mini-video updates and asked great questions about minor health issues. I could tell how much Gracie loved her by watching the two of them say their farewells. Erin will always be my first choice when traveling if she is available to return!

Chris was excellent!!!! Loved having him and would recommend every time. Hope he is able to come back again soon! 😄 sent so many great pics of the pups - you could tell he had a good time with them and vice versa. Thank you Chris!
Jennifer
North Shore, Virginia
Reliable, Responsible, Caring Animal Lover <3
Jennifer was amazing! She is very kind and easy to communicate with - and obviously a great presence with animals. She left my home in better shape than she found it! Not only did she send me funny regular updates about Patches and keep the place impeccably tidy, but helped me stay on top of some issues that cropped up. Plus, she left Patches with some great new toys! Definitely recommend Jennifer!
Martin

A Trustworthy and Loving Caretaker for Your Furry Friend and Home!
This was Martin's second (or third?) sit. He did a 3 1/2 month sit last spring and a month long sit this time. We love him. He is very organized, a good communicator and keeps the house clean. We'd have him back any time.

Rebecca

Excited to spend my long summer and winter breaks in new places caring for pets
Rebecca was a great sitter! She stayed here with some family and they were all very responsible and tidy. Rebecca was great with our dog, easy to communicate with, and left our home looking like we had when we left it. Would 10/10 recommend for any house sit!

Michele is a great pet sitter for my dog Charley! She keeps me informed and sends pictures. I came home to an immaculate home! I hope she will come back again.
Nathalia
I was very happy with the love and affection that was very apparent when Travis and Shannon met the pups. I received one picture on my trip and was happy to see Shannon cuddled under a doggie pile. Nothing like seeing your dogs being loved by others as their own. Every thing was in its place when I return which was nice. I also received a welcome home gift handmade by them which was very lovely and made my day. I highly recommend them as trustworthy and reliable pet sitters to anyone.

Angela Gandolfo and Erica Piazza came to stay at our house while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Our two dogs are a handful, but these two lovely women took such good care of them. They spoiled them even more than we do, which is perfect. We got photos every day, and when we came home our house was tidy and there were clean sheets on the bed. I couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than these two women. They communicated well with us, and if they had questions, they asked. It was a pleasure to work with both Angela and Erica. We had to cut our vacation short because of a death in the family. It was really stressful, but once again, Angela and Erica were flexible and understanding. It made a difficult time easier, knowing that things at home were being managed so well. I'm hoping that if we ever have to go away again for such a long time, I will be able to get these two back here again! (hint hint) Thank you, Angela and Erica!

If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Ruth
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
Megan
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
Stephanie
Duha was such a light to have in our home while we were away. She kept us updated with beautiful photos of our dogs throughout her stay and didn’t leave their side once. I’ve never felt so comfortable with any other sitter and I truly hope this won’t be the last time she sits for us.
Linda
Christina handled Bridie's first-ever time without us perfectly. We returned after 5 days to a happy, well-cared for and well-exercised pup --- and an emaculate house. Christina knows dogs and helped us with a few Bridie issues. We got photos and some updates while away. She was flexible and very sensitive to all of our needs. Chrisrina is the best sitter that we have ever had.
Sarah
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Katherine
Angela was fantastic. She came a day early to meet us and our dog Bella and to get the lay of the land and we so enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her! She took care of our home and Bella with the utmost care and attention. She was great to communicate with throughout the sit and we felt confidant being away knowing our dog and home were in such good hands! We returned to a clean house and she even prepared dinner for us! It was clear that Bella was happy, well taken care of and very fond of her!! We would definitely recommend Angela. She was a reliable sitter and a delightful person all around!!

Shady Mountain Pet Retreat
Opening Hours:
Recent Reviews:
Shady Mountain is a great place to bring your pets whether you need them kenneled or for training or rehabilitation. Miriam is a published expert in her field and no expense was spared in the construction of the facilities, from the heated, indoor therapy pool, to the large exercise areas. Even the kennels have plenty of space for your furry friends and receive daily maintenance and cleaning. Shady Mountain is also moving to solar power to provide services with clean energy. They also have strict health and care standards for all the guests, so you can be confident that your pets will not contract anything during their stay here. If you want a top notch facility run by knowledgeable people who truly care about the health, training, and well being of your pets, bring them to Shady Mountain Pet Retreat!
When vacationing with family and friends, it’s so important to find the best boarding/training facility to care for our four legged family member. Miriam and staff couldn’t be more accommodating to our family and dog. We quite often say that our dog’s vacation/training and stay at Shady Mountain Pet Retreat is often nicer than ours! We give it 5 🐾 (stars). Already planning our next visit for our beloved Piper. She’s got her bags packed and marking off days until her return!
Miriam + the team at Shady Mountain were the best decision we have ever made as animal parents. They loved on our sweet Great Pyrenees puppy, Odin, while giving him a strong foundation in “good manners”. During our weekly visits, Miriam helped train us to help Odin maintain his training at home. She helped us understand how our behavior and cues are interpreted by Odin + gave us the skills we need to make sure we can all live comfortably and HAPPILY together. If you’re wondering if you need help, you do. You will benefit so incredibly - even if you don’t have a “problem” dog. CALL! This place is worth every single penny.
Top Notch. Worth the price. Your dog will learn a lot in a short amount of time. The owner and operator is very dedicated and has a hard working staff. The lodges (rooms for dogs) and grounds are well kept and very clean. I left my puppy with a short attention span and Mariam had her sitting, laying down and healing in one week. I am amazed. If you want a well behaved dog, send him/her to Miriam at Shady Mountain Pet Retreat.
I took my baby, Venus here to go through the Puppy board and training program for 4 weeks. Me and my boyfriend would visit her every Monday and go over the lessons she had learned that week. The first week of her being there, AMAZED me! It was like a whole different puppy! What made me much more happier, was it was positive reinforcement!! No shock collars, or anything that would scare/hurt my baby. Before taking Venus in, she would consistently bark, not come when called, didn’t know basic commands and would pee inside. Now, she knows how to heel, sit and stay, sit, sit and lay. She doesn’t bark excessively and she actually listens! And she knows where her bathroom is,,, OUTSIDE! Best place ever! Everytime we went in, it was so clean and tidy. Always welcoming too (: I definitely recommend !!
SMPR is a pet paradise! The facilities are top notch and clean, the grounds are beautifully kept, and Miriam is second to none when it comes to taking care of and training your pets. By far the best pet "bed and breakfast in the region." It's certainly not a kennel, it's a retreat!
Harley is in a doggie paradise. Shady Mountain Pet Retreat is one of the best boarding and training facilities Harley has ever been too! Miriam and her husband are hard workers who truly love animals. This is the second time harley has been here and he loved it He gets special attention and loves to swim in the pool. He thinks he's playing but we all know he really needs the exercise. Harley loves playing with other doggies as well. Something he doesnt get very often at home. Miriam was also patient and positive in her training and he responses well. ( now if I could only do it myself lol) The facility is spacious and extremely clean. I can honestly say they have a passion for what they do and its refreshing to see. We will be back again and again! Well worth the money! Thank You!
The best place to take your pets! Huge indoor outdoor suites, hiking trails, indoor pool for dogs, professional staff and so much more. Pet suites are like hotel rooms. My pets come home happy and well behaved.
Caring and knowledgeable professional boarding and training for our goldendoodle.....she learned new commands, along with reinforcing previous commands..we highly recommend this retreat...and wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future....
I might be partial as it is owned by very close friends. . They are very good with all animals. The facility is very well kept.
