Sterling Acres Kennel LLC

Sterling Acres Kennel LLC provides dog boarding and cat boarding in Rural Retreat, VA, taking guests of every size, from small dogs to giant breeds. Households with both dogs and cats can board them in one place.

What a stay looks like

Each dog gets an individual kennel run with connected indoor and outdoor areas, so guests can get fresh air on their own schedule. Kuranda cot beds are provided. A fenced area gives dogs room to stretch their legs. Cats have a separate room with private cubbies, each with a hide-away cubby, set apart from the dogs.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding for small, medium, large, and giant dogs
• Individual runs with connected indoor and outdoor areas
• Kuranda cot beds and a fenced exercise area
• Nail trims
• Medication administration and special diets, including raw and refrigerated food

What sets it apart

Sterling Acres accommodates raw diets and foods that need refrigeration, which not every kennel will take on. Staff administer medication for guests who need it. For senior and medically fragile pets, the kennel keeps a Rainbow Protocol form on file, so a family's wishes are already on record. Dogs or cats from the same household may share housing on request.

Practical details

The posted hours are 8:30 to 10:00 AM, seven days a week, so plan drop-offs and pickups around that morning window. Boarding is listed at $15 to $22 per night. Proof of vaccination is required before a stay. Reservations are handled online at sterlingacreskennel.com, and the kennel can be reached at 276-620-2138 or Sterlingacreskennel@gmail.com. Sterling Acres also posts on Facebook and Instagram for owners who want a closer look before booking.
