Such a fantastic place and the staff is incredible. It was nice knowing our pup was well taken care of while at daycare, had a ton of fun and burned energy! This is the quietest he has been in a while and an immediate nap has been taken upon arriving home, all thanks to Playful Pack.

I started bringing my 5 year old French Bulldog here a few months ago. I needed a new boarding place near me and found Playful Pack. I have been so pleased with this Playful Pack in Alexandria. My dog LOVES loves it. I have to lift him up and carry him out sometimes to leave, because he doesn't want to go home. He has done both boarding and daycare and both have been positive experiences. What spoke to me the most was how quickly the employees remembered his name and how quickly they were able to pick up on his personality. It is reassuring to see how excited he gets seeing the front desk people. Lastly, the report cards, pictures, and access to their live webcam is great and really enables my dog mom status. I have been very grateful to have found a place that treats my dog as their own, and that he's getting that doggie play time in each week.

My sweet Millie has the best time at daycare whenever we drop her off at Playful Pack Alexandria. Her excitement is through the roof as soon as we walk in the building, and the staff is so sweet and attentive with her.

I’ve had the worst experiences at other doggy daycare facilities in the area, so I was a little apprehensive when I first brought Millie in for an evaluation. The staff was so understanding and patient with me which really put me at ease. I also really like that I can use their cameras throughout the day to check on Millie.

In my opinion, the best thing about Playful Pack is that the staff really engages and interacts with the dogs. For the most part, they also step in and issue corrections or disrupt negative behavior as they see it.

My only recommendations (and it applies to all doggy daycare facilities) would be to have at least two people per room when you have a lot of dogs just to make sure they are being watched really closely.

I would definitely recommend Playful Pack to others!

We love Playful Pack Alexandria! Our pup was initially very shy towards other dogs, but once we started to take her once a week to Playful Pack she has come out of her shell. The concept of the 'pack' really helped her interact better with other dogs. We really like the new facility, the staff is really amazing and knows her by name. It feels great when picking her up and they know exactly what dog and share how she did during the day. It's nice to know that we can trust Playful Pack Alexandria to take care of our pup when we are at work or out of town with day care or boarding.

Playful Pack is awesome!

We started taking our pup here last month and he’s had a blast every time that he’s been.

The pricing is very reasonable and we love that there’s video cameras in the play rooms so that you can see what your dog is up to while you’re away. My only gripe is that the cameras are off before 9AM and after 5PM since I usually take my dog there at 6:30 in the morning and pick him up right before they close at 7:30 PM. With that said, I do know that he’s always in good hands and they do offer food and bath services for those who need them!

This place is perfect if you have things to do and want your dog to be well taken care of while you do it. There’s nothing better than picking up my smiling boy and seeing him sleep soundly on the way home from a long and fruitful day of play.

Will hopefully take our fuzzy friend here very often going forward.
