Fido's Fun Place 1825 Owens Creek Road, Mineral, VA 23117

"We took our lab here for Thanksgiving week. She had the best time and came home nice and tired. What a relief to travel and come home to a dog who’s exercised and happy! Game changer. We will be back for sure!"

"Finding Fido’s Fun Place was such a wonderful stroke of luck and I think will even be a bit life changing! We’ve been reluctant to travel ever since moving to Louisa in 2020 because of our dogs and not having reliable care if we want to go somewhere. Thank heavens we stumbled upon Courtney and her amazing place. Our three dogs are a slowing down lady hound dog pushing 13, a 100lb occasionally anxious 9 year old shep mix and a super intense 2 year old purebred shepherd who wasn’t socialized the best due to the pandemic. They are overly attached to us and also set in routine, and also I am a career animal professional (vet tech) of many years who is well aware (can vouch from the inside!) that all kennels/caretakers are most certainly NOT the same- so for these reasons I was worried and kind of resigned to us not really being able to travel. You just never really know if someone/a staff is going to have the experience and patience and kindness to treat your dogs how you’d like. We were already put at ease by our initial communications with Courtney…plus the website, the glowing reviews…her friendliness but also serious professionalism as far as information gathering and answering any questions we had. But then arriving to drop off put me completely at ease. We were away for 3 days. The pick up/drop off process was quick and easy and we got a link to a photo album of our dogs with their playgroup in a huge green field under blue skies, which was great! It seriously made our trip better to see photos of them having fun with new friends and doing just fine without us. This will be SO beneficial for our young shepherd, to have some playgroup experience from time to time and learn how to relate with others, all under the eye of someone who knows GSDs as Courtney does. All three came home completely exhausted and happy and without that usual kennel smell. The place itself is just lovely and a pleasant drive to get to. Courtney is also super pleasant and nice to talk to. All in all, we couldn’t be more glad to have found Fido’s Fun Place and are so relieved to know we have trusted care for these bozos and that we can let go and have more freedom in the future. Peace of mind about care and plus your dogs most certainly having more fun/learning opportunities than you yourself can give them- what more could you ask for?"

"Our mini poodles LOVE going here! They always come home sleepy and thirsty from all the running around and playing they get to do with Courtney. She treats them like they are her own dogs and I never have to worry about them when they are in her care. Whether it's for a long weekend or a full week of vacation, I can leave the pups here and know they are safe, happy, and loved. So glad we found Fido's Fun Place!!"

"We had a great experience with our dog for a 2 week stay. Courtney sent us pictures every few days, and our dog seemed happy playing and hanging out with 1-8 other dogs. It seemed like a fun all-day dog park. Our dog is small (Cairn) and has had issues with large dogs, but the pictures showed him playing with large and small dogs with his tail wagging. I would highly recommend this place for boarding your dog. He even came home with a fresh bath. Courtney is very good with dogs and she was very responsive by WhatsApp with notes and our questions. We will definitely go back!"

"My Sophie stays there whenever I need "back-up" care and it is just like she is home or with her Grandma!! The care she receives is "homespun" and she loves it!! It is a relief to not have to worry especially for extended stays which is usually the case for me. I know she is in perfect hands and what I really appreciate is the communication pictures that are sent to let me visually see that all is well and happy. I have recommended Courtney to several friends because everyone knows how I feel about my "Baby" and if I had any concerns or worry.....she would not have gone back again and again and again!!! Oh....and did I mention how flexible Courtney is with arrival and pick-up.....YES, that's great too :-)!! Definitely would HIGHLY recommend ....Fido's Fun Place!"
