You may have started researching “dog boarding near me” or “dog boarding Alexandria VA” after having an idea about having a family vacation. While most people consider their dogs family, traveling with a dog can be a hassle. It is really difficult to travel with a dog out of the country because of the amount of paperwork required to transport them. On top of that, traveling with a pet outside of the country typically requires them to be transported in the plane’s cargo instead of sitting beside you in a cabin. Being in the cargo area is dangerous if your dog has any anxiety or separation issues.
An alternative to boarding your animal is to hire a pet sitter, but trusting someone to take care of your pet and home can be extremely uncomfortable. The level of trust needs to be very high to allow someone access to your home.

Dog Boarding at a Farm vs with a Veterinarian
You could be wondering if boarding with your local veterinarian would be better for you, after all you may know your vet very well; furthermore, your vet could already be familiar with your dog. Pet familiarity is a great advantage to boarding your pet with a vet, but there aren’t many other advantages to boarding with a veterinarian.
Most veterinarians who offer boarding put their clients’ dogs in kennels or cages, only taking them out to use the bathroom. This tends to create more stress and anxiety in your dog, negatively affecting their well-being. Dog boarding Washington DC at a cage-free facility gives your dog more peace of mind and a higher quality of care.
Can I check on my dog during their stay?
Yes, we offer webcam access so you can check in on your dog at any time.
Our vigilant staff is on-site with round-the-clock vigilance, creating a secure environment where supervision is constant and every bark, wag, or whimper is met with a responsive and caring presence. Our team engages actively with our canine guests, including dogs and puppies, providing affection, play, and comfort day and night. This perpetual human touch guarantees that, while you’re away, your dog is enveloped in a nurturing atmosphere that feels like a home away from home.
