Dogtopia

I’ve bringing my dog to daycare for over a year now. He and I both love it there the staff greet us when we walk in with a smile and know him by name. It gives me great comfort knowing that my baby is being taken care of with lots of hugs and kisses. And Marla is the absolute best.

Really like this place. We’ve used it a few times to board our dog and he seems to like it too! It’s really clean and the employees are friendly (when they’re not busy – mornings are the worst). It’s a little pricey and don’t bring anything you would mind getting written on with sharpie (found that out the hard way).
Our favorite part is being able to check on our dog with their app that’s linked to cameras at the location.

My dog loves going to daycamp at Dogtopia. The staff is friendly and very welcoming to my dog. I am greeted, well my dog is greeted, by name every time we walk into the building. They provide easy access to webcams so I can checkup on him or just show off to coworkers. The price is competitive but worth it! Clean and an amazing environment. (I take my dog weekly)

So outrageously overpriced. Boarded my dog for 30 hours — $ 90. You are better off with Rover.

I have never found a more caring and safe environment for our precious dog, Beau. The staff is always loving and attentive to the dogs. We have been taking him here twice a week for years. He’s always very excited and happy to join his friends at Alexandria Dogtopia. We board him here when we travel and know that he is in good hands and will be well taken care of. We just picked him up from leaving him for two weeks. We were told that at times he was anxious and was whimpering because we had left him for so long. The staff gave him the extra attention and love to reassure him that everything was going to be fine. The staff has always been very intuitive and responsive to all the dogs’ needs and feelings. THIS is one of the very many reasons that we find that Alexandria Dogtopia is so wonderful for our cherished pet. We are so thankful that we found such a loving environment for Beau for those times when we are not with him. Thanks again to the outstanding staff and the owner of Alexandria Dogtopia.

We are planning to board our pup in here, so he will be kept cage free. We had an a evaluation, which extra cost, only spent there 15 minutes, but I guess it is important to make sure dogs are good with other dogs.
Staff seems be very friendly and facility is nice and clean.
They show us the place– dog rooms only from a screen view– guess they do not want any strangers bother dogs. Night sweets looks very big– that is where they will put your dog for food and rest and at night, big enough for even a large dog– we have 20 pound Yorkie. they say we can bring his bad and his toys and his own food– he has food sensitivity, and blanket– all I was concern about.
Then, they told me that we can get a package– 5, or 10 days — they have more options as more days as well, witch make it less pay per day. So we did.
Oh, they also have a small outside area that they say they bring dogs about 3 times a day if weather permit– all it is is a brick walled rectangle with artificial grass and hose– but has sky on top, better then nothing.
So we hope pooch will have vacation here as well as we will.
Ill keep you posted. ;)
Oh forgot to mention that you can see your pup on your phone or I Pad, or computer, they have cameras on line !!!

Staff and the facility are the number 1 reasons that I would recommend Dogtopia to everyone I know. Ivory loves to go to her daycare which is her second home!!!

Our older, blind dog, James went to Dogtopia this past year until he recently passed away. The team at Dogtopia was wonderful. James had some very special needs that they were very willing to work with and he was happy and comfortable when he visited here. I cannot thank them enough and certainly would bring any future dogs I may come to rescue, to the lovely folks at Dogtopia. Thank you.

We just had our second great experience at Dogtopia of Alexandria. My older beagle boy is tired when he comes home but does not seem stressed out at all. It is comforting to me to know he is in good hands when we travel and have to leave him behind.

So i was taking my dog here for boarding. While i was waiting there, one dog was bleeding because the person there did a very terrible at nail clipping. I also saw 3 large dogs broke out of the cage. Now if they cannot take care of the big dogs, how can they possibly take care of my small lil spitz. I’m glad i was late for boarding, otherwise I don’t know what would happen for my sweet lil dog. Dogtopia is a very nice place, just careful what franchise you’re leaving your dogs at. Peace!

I bring my lab here and everytime I pick her up she is pooped! This place is very nice and clean, the staff is amazing and my dog LOVES it. This is a great doggy daycare and I highly recommend it!

We sent our dog to Dogtopia a couple times a week and use it for boarding when we are out of town. It’s nice to know our dog is in good hands when we aren’t around. She always comes home happy and tired.
Staff is pretty friendly; they have always been very helpful when I’ve had questions.

I took my two dogs to this location and they both got sick with kennel cough. My wife and I spent over $ 1,000 in vet bills. When I tried to approach the owner and he told that wouldn’t do anything about it and was very short. He even called my vet to confirm their illness of both dogs. Personally, I would never recommend this place to board your dogs or cats.

Wife & I bring our dog here and will continue.
First, they are quite nice with helping me if I am a few minutes late to pick Banks (our lab)…ie they won’t charge me the 2^nd half of the day for coming a bit late.
Their cameras always work and their staff has a great memory. Within a few days, they knew our dogs name when he walked in… which I appreciated.

I love taking my pup to Dogtopia in Alexandria. They take very good care of her. I love the fact I can view the webcams online at anytime. The grooming is excellent. I hardly bathe her myself anymore. My pup enjoys doggy day camp and have had wonderful experiences during boarding. Love them!

I’m very happy with the service, overall. My dog has been to two other Dogtopia locations, so they waived the assessment fee, which was a large reason I chose to go here instead of a kennel closer to my job.
They were very accommodating when I had a last minute request to board my dog due to a family emergency that would require me to travel during Memorial Day weekend. I ended up having a friend watch him, but was so thankful for the compassion that Kate showed, especially during a peak boarding time like a four day weekend.
I had a moment when I was none too pleased a couple months back that gave me pause about bringing him to doggy day care. I dropped my dog off about 10 minutes early, max. And, the male attendant, Juan, who brought him back very passively aggressively said, to my dog: «You’re here early…» Not the end of the world, but definitely a turn off. I felt that was unnecessary. It wasn’t a huge amount of time, and if you didn’t want to take him in, just politely ask me to wait. No need for ‘tude that early in the morning!
Otherwise, my dog seems to love going there. While you can’t go back and see the room that they’re in, you can watch your pup on camera and see how much (or how little) they are playing. Not something that I can afford to do every day, but a nice treat for the pup every now and then.

We have a young dog who needs to expend some energy when we aren’t able to work from home.
The facility is clean and everyone there is very nice. I don’t know how they do it, but it seems that after only a couple of times going there, they are getting my dog ready to go home when they see me get out of my car. It’s great after a long day at work to be able to walk in and pick up my dog in less than a minute (most times). Plus dropping off my dog is simple as well. I just walk in, hand the leash to one of the employees and I’m on my way.
I’ve only watched the webcam once or twice, but I know that my fiancée loves being able to check in on our dog.

I just started taking my dogs here for doggie daycare, and so far so good! I love the webcams they have so that I can stalk my pets. The staff that I have interacted with thus far has been very nice, courteous, and flexible with my needs. I also love that my pets come home worn out from a day of playing.
I like that the. Dogs are paired based on size and demeanor. They have three play areas for dogs, and typically mine go between the toy box and the lounge to play. They offer a two-​hour nap midday and then can play until close time (7pm).
I did not rate this business higher for several reasons. One being that I didn’t like having to pay a consult fee for a 5-​minute evaluation per dog. Additionally, it’s hard for me to see the webcams on my Mac computer, so I had to download an app that costs $ 4.99 to be able to use the webcam service. I don’t like how the play areas are blocked off from owners and how the cameras go down when the pets are fed or have snack time. But other than that, I am happy with this company thus far,

I would say this place is average. They do a good job to know which dog is yours when you call in to check. The webcam works ok from computer w a lot of delay in the feed. What thy don’t tell you about the app you can download from your phone is that there’s a service fee. So I just keep an eye on my pup from a computer. I like fact that they have a cam. Lots of places don’t have any cams to offer. Some of the staff seems standoffish. I’m still looking for a great place where they do some interaction w the dogs and have webcams.

We took our German Shepherd pup here for the required evaluation prior to starting daycare. The woman who conducted the eval was short and snippy with us and then told us our puppy has a short attention span. Uh, hello he’s 9 weeks old what do you expect? She took him back into a room to meet other dogs but we were not allowed to come or to watch. Our pup returned to us unscathed but it would’ve been nice to observe his first interaction with other dogs. The woman concluded the eval explaining to us that GSDs are notoriously neurotic. Hmmm… that’s a new one. There was a guy working there that told us he like «play rough» with the dogs. No thanks.
