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.

For residents in Alexandria, boarding your dog or puppy at K-9 Divine is the best option. We provide dog boarding for the greater Washington, D.C. area and have been taking care of locals’ pets for years.

Our Comprehensive Dog Boarding Options

The biggest advantage of boarding dogs at K-9 Divine in Alexandria, VA, is that our boarding home is Cage-Free. If you’ve ever put your dog into a crate, you’ve probably noticed them seeming sad or upset. Maybe they were even whining loudly. It’s no secret that dogs love stretching their legs and bounding through open grass fields, finding all the fun things to sniff. That should make choosing K-9 Divine as your pet boarding home a no-brainer because we have cage-free boarding, allowing dogs to explore a wide and safe fenced area.

We offer a variety of dog boarding options to cater to the unique needs of every pet. Whether you have a small puppy or a senior dog, our facilities are designed to provide the best possible care.

Benefits of cage-free boarding include: 

  • Reduced stress and anxiety: Your dog will miss you while being boarded, but once it sees the wide range of land it has to explore, its mind will be at ease.
  • Social interaction: Our cage-free environment promotes dogs to socialize with each other while under supervision. This is great for most dogs, especially puppies.
  • Staff bonding: The cage-free model allows staff to interact and have fun with the dogs, creating deeper bonds.
  • Better monitoring: The open space makes it easier for our staff to monitor your dogs, which keeps them safer.

Puppies require special attention and care, and our puppy boarding services are designed to meet these needs. We provide a safe and stimulating environment where young dogs can play, learn, and grow.

  • 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 Alexandria VA at a cage-free facility gives your dog more peace of mind and a higher quality of care.

    Yes, we offer webcam access so you can check in on your dog at any time.
