  Moving to Virginia, we were unprepared for the difficulty of finding a boarding facility for our spoiled corgi. There are plenty, to be sure. The challenge was finding one with supervision overnight. I am absolutely perplexed by the number of places where there is nobody on staff present overnight. Dude Ranch was one of the few exceptions that not only had overnight staff, but amazingly posh accommodations. While the little extras do add up, they are absolutely worth it. When I went to pick up my dog, he was super excited to see me, and tried to bring me back to the boarding area. He loved his stay. I highly recommend them.

  Excellent facilities and services; definitely going to continue using them. I boarded my (very spoiled) 6 mo. Mini American Shepherd for 10 days using their villa (and suite package), daycare play sessions, and 1:1 playtime options. They were extremely knowledgeable regarding dog breeds and behaviors, and between their evaluation requirement and extensive and varied play yards I was very comfortable leaving my girl in their care. I think the best that can be said is that I picked up my puppy with herexcited to see me, happy-tired(!), and no regression in training or behaviors whatsoever like I thought I’d see after any boarding at all. Thank you Dude Ranch!

  Our dog Sara is always excited to come and play! The staff is very friendly and helpful making it a lot easier to leave your dog with them overnight. We highly recommend the Dude Ranch!

  I've been bringing my dog here for at least 3 years. This place was very good at one point. Now...not so much. You would think that for people that continue bring their pets to them, they would at least give you a heads up on price increases. Of course, this bit of courtesy is not the case. I pick up my dog only to find that the price increased from $27 to $34 per night. Not only that, the bath that used to cost me $40 is now all of a sudden $55. When I questioned the girl at the desk, she first tried to say it's because my dog is big. My dog hasn't gained any weight and has been the same size the last numerous times that he was boarded. Since the "dog is big" excuse didn't work, she went with "the groomers have increased their prices". Why not say that instead of coming up with a lame excuse about the weight of my dog. When you see they have a Groupon, you can only use it once in what seems like the lifetime of the dog...which isn't written anywhere on the Groupon. Let's not start with the fact that if they notice something may be "wrong" with the dog (I have a blue pit so he has numerous skin allergies) that the groomer just notates it on the account so you find out when you're checking out. A courtesy call just to let you know THEY are doing their job would be appreciated. This combined with lame excuses and price increases that when questioned, you get an answer like "we increased the prices this summer". Really??? My dog will never come back. If asked, I will tell anybody DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET TO DUDE RANCH.
