The staff is amazing here and I appreciate the hours and that you don't have to schedule ahead of time.

Wet wipes and other fresheners are complimentary for use at pup pickup or anytime.Web cams are on daily and live for an hour each day. However, if you are curious how your pup is, in real time, that is the only opportunity to find out. They do save the videos and photos and provide access.It is adjacent to an animal hospital. Parking as well as ingress/egress to the location is challenging. There is a grassy area nearby, but I wouldn't recommend using it based on what I saw.I had hoped to use them long-term but decided to move on after some issues (kennel cough, administration, billing, etc).

I started bringing my corgi Logan to Bark & Boarding in January and it has been a wonderful experience. He was quite a challenge as a puppy (resource guarding, anxiety, etc) but coming to daycare once a week really helped. Raising him was actually pretty hard on my mental health, and when my partner also had surprise health issues, I really needed to find some help. I appreciate that from the first time I came here, I never felt judged or like my dog’s rough edges would be an issue; they were understanding and sensitive to his needs. I was really happy (and honestly shocked, due to his anxiety) when I learned a few months later that he had made friends with the staff. I boarded him here for a week over the summer and was really touched and impressed that they sent me messages with pictures of Logan during his enrichment activities. It was our first time apart so that meant a lot! We have just moved out of the area, so today I picked him up from likely his last time ever at Bark & Boarding. I have to say, I won’t miss much about Alexandria, but I will miss having a place I feel 100% comfortable and confident in to take care of my pup.

My doggie was well taken care of and I felt he was in great hands. They worked in a grooming appointment for him at the last minute.

We took our dog here to get groomed for several years. Our boy was very old (15) and the groomers were always SO loving and patient with him. After he passed the B&B team mailed us a card and inside of the card was the warmest message and they included things about Charley's personality & character traits that you would only know if you took the time to get to know him. Its really reassuring to know they don't rush the dogs in/out and knowing he was treated with such love. I highly recommend B&B for their grooming services! & a HUGE thank you to the entire team for treating our boy with such love over the past serval year.

Love this place. They’re organized and professional and our puppers are always so happy to go to daycare or stay overnight. I always feel safe they’re in good hands here. Really lucky we have B+B nearby!

They just go above and beyond, are super accommodating, and have the best dog walker in the world - Andi! She took my little dog Sally out for potty breaks while I was in the office. When I had to put Sally to sleep last Oct, Andi made a special trip out to say goodbye. In the past couple of months or so, I’ve started fostering dogs. I called B&B to see if scheduling walks for my fosters was something they could do, and they said yes with no hesitation. The best part is that Andi’s still the one to do it. I 100% recommend B&B. You will not be disappointed.

I made an appointment in May for my dog to get a cut in July. So i waited 6 weeks and the morning of my appointment they canceled on me saying the groomer had a medical emergency. And then said the next appointment available is in August a month later. Its in the middle of summer and my dog has really long hair so he absolutely needs a haircut. And the staff is just like there’s nothing we can do about it which is really ridiculous especially after i tip $60-$80 !!! every time i get my dog groomed. Definitely taking my business elsewhere and would not recommended this place if you value your time.

We really like the people at Bark + Boarding, however, after we had him there for a few weeks while we were on travel, upon picking him up he immediately showed signs of kennel cough. The day before we dropped him off was the day they sent a message out to people letting them know that there were no more cases of illness and everything was clean and back to normal, which eased our minds in using them for this stay.We took him to the vet where they diagnosed him with a severe case of pneumonia (extremely lethargic, etc) and the vet bills as a whole were MORE than the equivalent of his stay, equaling thousands total. Our dog lost 10 pounds while being there and we were never informed that anything was wrong, except them letting us know he had diarrhea one time at the beginning.At the end of the day, we would have expected to have clearer communications around his illness (or to be made aware at all that he was sick) so that we could have made plans to avoid pneumonia, and I'm sure this was spread to, and from, other dogs attending there as well.

My dog absolutely loves Bark and Boarding. He was a scared rescue but he gets along so well with the other animals and the staff there is wonderful. I don’t necessarily need the daycare but I bring him because I know he loves it and I know the staff will take care of him like he’s theirs.

Excellent company with really great staff and owners! Our dog Yoshi loves coming to daycare, and they always make sure that he's squared away for overnights. They have different packages and pricing, which is great, and payment is a breeze with the online portal. Love B+B and highly recommend!
