Dogtopia

I worked at Dogtopia and had nothing but positive experiences. I worked the front desk and was thoroughly trained in person and with online training modules until I was comfortable to work the position by myself. I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the facility, I even made my parents switch daycares for their dogs back home after seeing the difference between the two. I never had an issue at the time with being able to take days off. I was a student at GMU working full time yet Marla was understanding and always accommodated if I needed extra time off to study, complete school work, or just take a mental day off. The dogs are handled with care, when I was there the employees would always trust Dogtopia to board their dog if they went out on a vacation or had an emergency back home. I am very thankful for the experiences I had here and would still want to work there if I had not graduated and moved out of the area. Thank you Dogtopia of Alexandria :)

Staff was attentive to us, and they run some great programs for charity that fright the dogs. I gave it 4 stars because the staff to dog ratio seems to me to be irresponsible. There is only one staff for upwards of 40 dogs per room.

If I could give this place ZERO stars I would. My dog was ATTACKED twice within one week, the second time resulting in a visit to the vet followed by medication to heal the bite (which after calling and my 2 months later, they finally paid the vet bill). The manager had a nonchalant attitude about the whole thing and the staff. they kept telling me " It wasn't that bad". If you have a larger dog they just place them in a room, there are NO toys nothing for the dogs to play with. They are constantly crating dogs and leaving them for long periods of time. THIS PLACE IS A DUMP. Please reconsider another daycare for your fur baby. There are plenty of local daycares that have play groups, stimulating activities, tons of toys, and that rotate play groups throughout the day. I even had a front desk staff tell me he wouldn't connect me to the manager if I didn't tell him my pets name and told me "Well I guess you'll only speak with the manager if you come up here" Trust me, the discounted rate is for a reason. This facility lacks professionalism, do not let the fake welcoming voices fool you. Lastly, they do not have a limit on how many dogs come in daily which is likely the cause of so many dogs being attacked (as you will see below) and on top of that they only have ONE attendant for about 20-30 plus dogs. I would not recommend this place even if it were free.

Visited many doggie day care facilities in the area and easily chose Dogtopia of Alexandria. Super clean facilities, not overly crowded, dog size segregation is spot on, spa facilities and service on premise. Everyone who works there is a true and true dog lover and I feel like my guy is always being well taken care of. They do have an outdoor run, the live stream web cams always work, and of course there is always an attendant in each room to quickly clean up any "doggie messes" and keep the pack in good play and monitoring any signs of rough or aggressive behavior.
