Dog Boarding · Chantilly, VA
Dogs thrive on routine. At Nova Pets, every boarding dog follows a structured daily schedule — consistent feeding times, regular exercise, rest periods, and evening wind-down. Our facility spans 5,000 square feet with a large outdoor play area. Any change in health, appetite, or behavior is assessed by clinical staff — not guessed at by a kennel employee. Senior dogs and special needs welcome.
What dog owners say about boarding at Nova Pets.
“First time coming to this location for dog boarding. Super easy check-in. Clean facility. Very big area, so dogs have plenty of space. My dog was here for 10 days. Very good price. When picking up my dog, she was calm coming back to me — usually when I pick her up from a dog boarding like PetSmart hotel, she would be extremely anxious. Here at Nova Pets, she was calm. I can tell it was a stress-free boarding environment for my dog Felicity.”
“This will be year 9 of boarding my dogs with Nova Pets. Despite moving a bit further away, I continue to bring my dog to Nova Pets because the facility allows for a comfortable stay. My dog was rescued so it's especially important that he receives individual care. He did not do well with men, did not do well with baths and was not okay with being picked-up — this is all a non-issue at Nova Pets which really speaks to the level of care the staff shows our fur babies. Overall the best pet boarding in the area!”
“Nova Pets Health is my go-to boarding facility! My bulldog loves being there and is treated so well. I'm so thankful for Nova Pets' flexible schedule and willingness to accommodate my boarding needs. My dog does not do well with dog sitters in the home, so it is an absolute breath of fresh air to hear that he is a welcome and beloved customer at Nova Pets.”
“I have never had trouble making a reservation for my dog to board at the Center. The staff members are very friendly and affectionate towards my dog. I rest easy knowing there are veterinary services on site.”
“Our dogs (and the humans) love Nova Pets! We used both the vet services and their boarding. Both dogs happily took their shots because they knew EZ Cheez was the reward and came home worn out from boarding. Highly recommend — everyone who works there is thoughtful and kind.”
Why Nova Pets
Most boarding facilities are just boarding facilities. Most veterinary practices don't board. Nova Pets does both — and does them properly. The boarding team focuses on your dog's comfort, routine, and happiness. The veterinary team is right next door if anything changes. That partnership is what gives owners genuine peace of mind — not just reassurance.
That's the difference between leaving your dog at a facility and leaving your dog with a veterinary team that also happens to have exceptional boarding.
Daily life
Whether your dog is a social butterfly or a creature of quiet comfort, we build their day around who they are — not a one-size-fits-all schedule.

Personalized care
We offer three care levels so your dog gets exactly the right amount of attention, activity, and support. Every boarding stay requires a care level in addition to a room size.
Accommodations
Every dog at Nova Pets has their own private suite. No overcrowded kennels, no shared spaces with unfamiliar dogs. Room sizes are matched to your dog's weight and comfort.
Estimate your stay
Select your dates, room size, and care level — and we'll calculate your total. Every stay requires both a room and a care level.
Before you arrive
New boarding clients are invited to schedule a free meet-and-greet before their first stay. Your dog meets the team, sees the facility, and receives a complimentary health exam — so we know exactly what to expect and how to provide the right level of care during their stay.
What to know before you book
Call us during clinic hours to discuss your dog's needs and confirm availability. We'll match your dog to the appropriate boarding type and complete an intake form before the stay begins. Please call at least 48 hours in advance for standard boarding stays.
