Family-owned dog boarding and bathing in North Dinwiddie, just south of Petersburg, Virginia. Caring for dogs since 1991.
Brandywine Kennels opened its doors in 1991 with one building and 18 runs. Over the years we have expanded to 4 buildings and 12 spacious yards! One thing that has remained the same through the last few decades is our commitment to providing the best possible care we can for all of our guests.
Owner, Sandy Cimburke and her team of knowledgeable dog caregivers have worked with and cared for dogs for over 30 years. In our laid-back country atmosphere, your dog will be treated to plenty of exercise, fresh air, and the best staff around.
Drop by and take a tour to see what we can do for you. We’re four miles South of Richard Bland College.
As a small, locally-owned business, we pride ourselves on providing the best for your dog at an affordable price.
Whether your dog is a boarding pro or has never been away from home, we will take the time to help them feel comfortable.
Boarding guests are let outside 4 times daily in individual yards. While they have neighbors to interact with, separated yards mean lower risk for injury AND we can interact one-on-one as they play.
Our daily rate includes outside play times, all meals, and individual attention. There are no hidden fees and we will NEVER charge extra for meal preparation or hugs and kisses.
Our employees are certified dog LOVERS! They make the difference in your dog having a good time or having a GREAT time.
Priced per calendar day. Meals, outdoor play time and plenty of attention are always included.
Our standard boarding rate for a single dog.
For two dogs from the same family sharing a run.
$49.00 for the first two dogs, plus $12.00 for each additional dog.
Includes bath, blow-dry and nail clipping. By appointment only.
This was a great experience for my family and our dog Norman. This Kennel has a very spacious facility and friendly staff. They offer an active military discount! Awesome!! I picked up our 4 legged family member and he even smelled better than when I dropped him off. Awesome! Definitely bringing Norman back if we have to leave town in the future. Such a great experience. Highly recommend to all.
The staff makes this the place to leave your dog while traveling! They love dogs and it shows. They treat my dog like their own with nice air-conditioned/heated rooms, beds, and outdoor run area for the dogs. Special attention is paid to the safety of your dog by separating the animals during their outdoor time. Their prices are more than fair, with no extra fees for passing a deadline pickup time.
What a wonderful place to put a dog in Daycare and know he is going to be safe. We are from out of town and was treated great making reservations over the phone. Dropping Tucker off was stress free and we knew he was in good hands. Thank you again for taking care of our baby boy.
The staff are friendly and professional. When I pick up my dogs, they leave there looking happy and frisky as pups.
A few things to know, and to bring, so your dog is well on their way to having a great time with us!
In order for your dog to be eligible to stay with us you will be required to provide to us a CURRENT vaccination record from your veterinary clinic to show the following:
Please note the Bordetella and Canine Influenza Vaccines must be requested from your vet and are usually not part of your dog’s annual check-ups. However, they are essential in making sure your dogs remain healthy during a stay with us.
Your dog MUST be in good health in order to board with us here at Brandywine Kennels. While we would love the opportunity to care for your dogs, we will not compromise their health nor the health of other dogs we have staying here with us. If your dog has exhibited coughing, sneezing, hacking, vomiting, or diarrhea, it is in his/her best interest to stay home.
Boarding a geriatric dog? We are capable of caring for elderly dogs. However, PLEASE take into consideration the quality of life and the overall general health of your dog before you board him/her. If your dog needs assistance to get up and walk outside 4 times every day, or cannot hold his/her bowels anymore, you should rethink boarding your dog. This has nothing to do with our capability; we are thinking about the stress on your dog.
We know how much your dog means to you, and we want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re here with us. Before boarding, we ask families of senior or medically fragile dogs to sign a waiver and share their wishes in writing with us so we can honor them should an “end of life” situation occur during your dog’s stay.
You may choose to provide your dog’s food from home or have us supply their meals. We feed Purina ONE Natural Lamb and Rice, dry dog food. The price of boarding is the same either way.
If you bring their own food, please provide clear instructions for feeding. Pre-packaging each meal in a zip-top bag is extremely helpful, but not required. Make sure you pack enough for the entire stay, plus a few extra meals just in case. We do have a refrigerator for cold items.
Is your dog on medication? No problem! We are able to administer your medications at no extra charge. Please send clear written instructions for dosage and delivery. We provide peanut butter to give medicine, but if you would like us to use canned food, pill pockets, lunch meat, or some other method please bring that with you.
You may call anytime we are open for an update on how your dog is doing! Please remember some dogs may need time to adjust before going back to normal behavior and eating habits. We will always give you an honest evaluation, and if we are concerned at any time, we will contact you.
Send us a note below or give us a call anytime we’re open. Making a reservation? Use our reservation request form.
