Great place to keep your dogs for the week! It's a nice piece of land with all the amenities your dog will need. I had two of my dog stay for close to a week and they had a blast. They are attentive to your dogs needs which is a huge plus. For example, one of my dogs has mild aggression over her water bowl. They were able to work with her and made sure she had her own separate bowl through out her stay. read more

I HIGHLY recommend Courtney for your dogs home away from home experience. Apple truly had a vacation, NOT an incarceration, which is what she would have had if stayed in conventional boarding. Courtney took special effort to treat Apple like she was one of her own; she made sure Apple had; her meds, her food, her special quirks - everything right, so Apple could feel safe and comfy. Apple loved playing with Heidi, Courtney's dog and was given the royal treatment from everyone. I will go to Courtney's from now on and let Apple have fun. So much better for her and that makes me leaving her when I travel so much easier. Thanks so much Courtney. oxox Jimmieanna and Apple read more

I've taken my dog here on many occasions. He's excited to go and tired when we pick him up. I trust Courtney the owner and they have a wonderful place for dogs to vacation. read more

This was our first time boarding our dogs, and it's clear that Courtney cares for your dogs as her own. My older lab mix has separation anxiety--he not only ate his food (which is unusual when apart from us) but was happy and playful! Our younger puppy, June, is more than a handful--Courtney's patience and expertise to help with her training was greatly appreciated. We received daily pictures and updates and our dogs were happy, groomed and healthy when we picked them up (and exhausted from all of the playing and attention they received)! I would highly recommend Courtney and Fido's Funplace to any owner looking for their dogs to be loved and cared for. read more

Fido's Funplace was the perfect place for our dog to stay while we were on vacation! It was so nice to know that our dog was being well taken care of while we were away instead of being in a cage all day. We will definitely use Fido's Funplace again and highly recommend it! read more

I was so excited to discover this "kennel" while searching online for a place to leave my "baby" for the weekend. I called and looked into many "kennels" and found myself tearful at the thought of leaving my puppy at a place where he would be locked in a kennel for hours on end. I was beyond excited when I found Fido's Fun Place. I felt 100% comfortable with leaving Bailey with Courtney the second I talked to her on the phone. It was obvious how much she loved and cared for each dog left in her care. I didn't even feel as though I was dropping Bailey off at a Kennel or business, but more like dropping him off at a friend's house for the weekend. It was evident the second we pulled up to Courtney's house that Bailey was going to have a blast. He didn't even look back as we were pulling away. Courtney even sent me a text on the first night showing me a picture of Bailey and how much fun he was having. I highly recommend Fido's Fun Place, and I look forward to Bailey's next visit :) read more

History
Established in 2002.
I have been boarding and sitting dogs and other pets for over 12 years. I have always been quite the animal-lover. I grew up around animals and have always loved caring for them. I have spent many hours reading and educating myself on their care and training. It is a passion of mine. Dogs are such amazing creatures; we know they are loved as part of your family as ours are in our family. They deserve the best so we give it to them! Since I do not have the means to own all the unlimited amount of pets I wish I could have, boarding dogs is the perfect job for me because I am getting a new dog to love and care for each and every week! Knowing full well the problems and stress involved with boarding your dog in a kennel or asking someone to come over to your house, my husband and I decided we would offer boarding of dogs inside our own home so owners could be stress free knowing their dog wasn't in a cage, destroying their house, or left alone, but here with us getting personal TLC.

When we lived in Richmond, we were so lucky to have found Courtney and Fido's Fun place for our two large, unruly hunting dogs. We had so many dog boarders who never wanted to have them again as they require so much running and work..plus one of them is not a social butterfly. We used Fidos Fun Place all the time and Courtney even washed their beds. We were in disbelief how great it is. We recommend it and would never go anywhere else. We moved to Illinois and we can not find anyone like her business model. And we believe she may be the only one in the USA who has everything that dog needs : land, sleep, clean environment and care. Dogs were always super happy when we pulled in to her driveway. And there is not a better holiday when you know your dogs are having a time of their lives. read more

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 :-)!! read more

Very happy with our Boarding experience and definitely will be a returning customer. I have 2 five month old puppies and a five year old Pug. The puppies are insane energy and my Pug is emotionally needy! They all were very well cared for and enjoyed their stay. It really made my vacation more peaceful knowing they all were doing fine and were being well cared for. My puppies even returned being better behaved, related to jumping up on me and agressive treat feeding with puppy-piranha teeth, due to Courtney's awesome training through the week. That was a nice bonus! read more

Cortney has been watching our Shih Tzu Samson for 2 years now and she is the best, I swear he knows when he is going and he loves the attention he gets. Cortney always sends us pics of Samson, hanging with his pals especially the big dogs. I would highly recommend Cortney for all your pets needs,again she is the best and we even get him back all groomed n pretty. read more
