We are moving to the Mt Vernon area of Alexandria, and need a dog kennel. Anyone have any good recommendations? Our dog is fairly spoiled, so we are looking for a place that has nice sized individual kennels, a large play area and a staff that is great towards dogs!

Are you looking for a kennel to board your dog during vacation, or a day care facility?

It's tough to find places with outside areas here, until you go out into the suburbs pretty far. Land is too expensive to put yards in.

If you are looking for a temp place before you get into your house, which we needed while staying in billeting, I recommend a place on Rt 1..north of Belvoir, the name escapes me, but they were pretty good. Of course that was in 2001. The area wasn't great then either, but I was happy with the kennel. We didn't use them after we moved in, as it was away from the house.

Fort Hunt Animal Hospital is a good place. The staff there is really friendly and they hire local teens to constantly play with and exercise the dogs.

Late to reply... Old Towne Pet Resort is VERY expensive.

I just moved away from the area, but I always took my dog to Royal Pet Kennel on Kings Highway. Not expensive at all ($27/night for a 5x10 kennel) and play/walks are INCLUDED in the price. I think there are only about 4-5 people that work there. You are required to bring your dog's food. I travel a lot and my dog never came out of there with any problems - no kennel cough or any other communicable diseases, no signs of being mistreated.
