Kennels at Winterpock

Kennels at Winterpock is a traditional dog boarding kennel on Beach Road in Chesterfield, VA, taking dogs of every size for overnight stays. The building is purpose-built for dogs: over 2,800 square feet, heated and air conditioned, with 20 dog runs.

What a stay looks like

Each run includes a private bedroom measuring 5 feet by 5 feet, with a raised orthopedic hammock-style bed. Every run also opens onto its own covered outdoor patio, 5 feet by 11 feet, so a dog can step outside on its own schedule. Relaxing music plays for the dogs indoors. Beyond the runs, there is a play area and exercise yard, with three play times scheduled each day.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding for small, medium, large, and giant dogs
• Climate-controlled private suites, one covered patio per run
• Shared exercise yard with three daily play sessions
• Medication administration and special diets
• Published rates of $42 to $60 per day

Training and daily care

Certifications listed for the kennel include the Certified Pet Care Technician course and a Pet First Aid course. That background matters most to owners whose dogs need pills on a schedule or a particular feeding routine, since both medication administration and special diets are handled on site. Owners of senior dogs often ask about the beds, and the raised orthopedic style is standard in every run rather than an upgrade.
