Dulles Executive Pet Center

We were out of town visiting family, and had our dogs with us. We planned to return home, and then board the dogs at our normal kennel while we went to another city for a wedding. While on the first trip, an emergency meant we had to travel directly from the family visit to the wedding, without returning home between. We needed a place in the wedding city to board the dogs, as we could not take them at the hotel. We searched Angie's List and several websites, and Dulles Executive Pet Center had very good ratings and reviews, so we called them.  They were able to take the dogs on short notice, provided them with food, gave them great baths and trimmed their nails, and were great, even allowing us to pick them up early on Sunday, as we had an 8-hour drive back home.  The staff was professional, kind, friendly, walked us through the kennel area to see where the dogs were being roomed, and made us very comfortable that we had chosen the right place.  We are so thankful we found DEPC!

We were very pleased with the service, the only thing we weren't happy with was when we picked up our animal they forgot to give us our papers back that we gave them. My only advise to anyone using them would be to make copies to give them and keep the original or get the papers back up front when you drop off the animal.

This is my 8th time using Dulles Executive Pet Center for my pet boarding needs. They hire pet lovers who take pride providing the best pet care. I get a military discount as well as a frequent user stamp card. My pets love this place! I recommend the optional play time if your pet is socialized.

The pet center was very clean. Everyone that worked there seemed to have a genuine love for animals and was very friendly. In the outside play area the employees actually played with the animals instead of letting them roam free for a hour!

We have been using Dulles Executive Pet Center for the past 6 years. They are genuine and professional. We have two Welsh Corgis that are boarded togeter. We get a discount on boarding two dogs in the same kennel as well as another nice discount for being in the military. Generally, dog kennels can get expensive, but DEPC is half the price of their competitors. The last time we used them was earlier this month. I called from our cruise ship and the attendant gave me a full report on our dogs (their appetite, mental states, temperment, etc...). We have never had any issues while using their services. I cannot recommend them enough.

We have used DEPC for about 15 years now. We took our first dog there until she was older and then had a neighbor come in. For our second dog he went there for about 10 years until he, too was older and now we have a neighbor come in. My mom used DEPC for her dog for about 10 years.
I would not say my dogs enjoyed going to the kennel, who would? But they were happy when they were there, they came back well cared for and happy. They always had nice things to say about the dogs and they knew their personality which means they paided attention to them while they were staying there.
Yes, it is a little hard to find and it is in an industrial area, but I don't think your dog/cat will care about this. But it is close to RT. 28, RT 7 and close to Dulles Airport. We are in Herndon and it takes us about 15 minutes to get there.
All of our dogs had their quirks....one was really shy and hated men, one had arthritis and some hip pain. DEPC had these on file and always worked with us. For the shy one they would tend to have a woman work with him, for the hip pain they had on file he needed a cot.
We had previously used other local kennels and had our dogs come out with bleeding nails (from scratching at the floor and trying to get out), or smelling. Our dogs have never come out of DEPC with any injuries and dirty. They are always healthy and happy.

First of all it was very difficult to find. It is in an industrial area. The reception area is large and the two attendants at the desk were attentive. They were able to show me around right away. This indoor facility is large and accommodates a lot of animals. The cages are stacked one on top of the other, the lower ones for large dogs, the upper ones for smaller dogs. The animals are kept in the cages almost all day. The cage is divided into a sleeping area and an area where they are to relieve themselves. The only difference between the two is that there is a mat in the and quot;sleeping areaand quot;. The attendant said they are let out once a day unless you pay to have extra time outside or playtime with an attendant. It was very noisy there as all the dogs start barking as soon as the door is open. There is an outside grassy pen where I saw an attendant playing with one dog. Although the price is right, we decided not to leave our dogs there as we want more outside time and a homier environment.

I have used Dulles Executive Pet Center for a couple of years since I moved to the area. The staff that work with the animals are absolutely great. They are caring and even know my dog by name. Checking in and out for boarding or day care is fast and easy. My dog has been nervous when visiting other kennels in the past, but she loves this place and is always happy when we get there.

I thought they were extremely responsive when we had concerns. I was very happy with the way the seemed to take care of everything. They changes a few things based upon concerns so they are flexible.
