I've been to several Dogtopia locations and this one is, by far, my favorite. I really love this place! The employees here are always very helpful and friendly. When I left him over the holidays, they made a very cute tree ornament with his picture-a nice touch. When I expressed my concern about the fact that he's gotten cradle nose in the past, they told me that they would place him in a different crate. He stayed in the kennel for nearly a week and did not come back with any issues. I have driven miles out of my way to take him to the Springfield location and will continue to do so when I require boarding/day care. read more

We recently moved to Springfield from Bristow and immediately choose Dogtopia of Springfield because we were regulars of Dogtopia of Manassas. Just like the Manassas location, the staff here are amazing! I couldn't be more happier with daycare and boarding for our German Shepherd pup. They are very organized and have a great system with bath and nails. The facility is always clean. I enjoy watching all the dogs on their webcam. I know my pup is safe and taken care of here at Dogtopia of Springfield. They are flexible with our schedules and treat us like family. read more

We recently boarded our dog at Dogtopia Springfield for the first time. We were impressed with facilities and the staff, as well as the communications we received on our pets experience, as observed by the staff, while he was in their care. The fact that the owner spends a significant amount of time at the Springfield location and has staff that are attentive to both the pet and the owner is appreciated. Since that first visit our dog has returned twice and we know he likes it there because can't wait to get in the front door! We appreciate returning home with a happy, clean dog! read more

Our dog is very shy and has had difficulty at other boarding places. Dogtopia was a great place for her. Other boarding places she would be very strange and extremely shy for a few days after picking her up. Picking her up at Dogtopia, she was very happy and acted like she just spent a week having fun. It was a big relief for us, because we would feel guilty about boarding her at other places. The only drawback is not much outdoor time, but honestly, I'm not sure the dogs care that much. read more

My dog absolutely loves the place. He loves the dogs and gets along easily with the staff. They give wonderful baths. We enjoy the convenience of the location, the webcam, and the cute photos print out. We are thankful for Dogtopia of Springfield of being accommodating with our dog's diet. Thank you again! read more

We just had our first grooming appointment with Robby, and will definitely be back. Our girl is 15 years old, can be grumpy, and has had a mixed bag of experiences being groomed. She did well here and they charged me significantly less than other local groomers. Robby took the time to consult with me and really listened to all of our dogs experiences and issues. She was in wonderful hands. Love this place!! read more

My cockapoo puppy loves this place. I was very happy to find a daycare that accepts puppies at 3 months! Very clean place, smells good. Would recommend to friends and co-workers read more

We have just started taking our dogs to Dogtopia and couldn't be more pleased. It's well-run, clean, and really gives us confidence that our furry friends are in good hands. read more

Dogtopia has been a godsend for our family - we have always been large dog owners and thus know how to handle their energy levels, however when our newest addition (Max the Puggle) joined our clan we didn't know what to do with all his energy and curiousness! Came across Dogtopia in the Burke Patch and thought what do we have to lose, so we went to check them out. Max loves going to visit his friends and comes home so warn out, it's the only time he falls asleep at 6pm. I love checking him out on the webcam during the day where i can see him playing with all his friends! Yes the online webcam could be better quality, but its better than nothing and that's what most other boarding facilities have, no way for you to see ow your dog is being treated. All the staff have been great and you can tell that the owner (Amber) loves the dogs and that's worth the world to me to drop off one of our family members! My family highly recommends Dogtopia Springfield. read more

Best place in northern Va to take care of your dog when you are too busy! My black lab Lewie loves it there. I have peace of mind knowing he is having fun with the great staff and all of his four legged friends. They always go over and beyond with great activities, photos and holiday celebrations. I highly recommend there services to everyone. Great staff, clean, fun, friendly atmosphere. Special thanks to the principal & mini boss :) p.s. i'm keeping track of the evaluations :) read more

Brought my dog here to get groomed after a long summer. He was about a month overdue for a good trim. I asked them to basically shave him down without making him look too bad. The groomer did a great job and my dog looked awesome. Everything took about an hour and a half. A bit pricey but worth it. I'll definitely return. read more

My put Lucca has been going to the Springfield Dogtopia 4+ days per week for the last five years. She loves it there! The staff are really wonderful with the dogs. How they remember all the little personality quirks of each pup in their care is amazing. They really do love their charges! The minute I turn onto Fullerton Road Lucca's tail starts going. I highly recommend this location. read more

Staff was courteous and told me what my big girl did all day. Who her friends were, where she slept and whatnot. The lobby smelled a little like dog, but hey, its a kennel. No outdoor area for the dogs, so bad habits are bound to be learned. Overall I thoroughly felt my dog was well cared for here. read more

MY DOG LOVES DOGTOPIA!!! I like to say that he chose this place himself. When I was looking for a place to leave him I was trying out Dogtopia and a large store daycare nearby. He hated the large store daycare (he would shake and cry)... and he would just run in to Dogtopia with his tail wagging and not look back. That was a sign for me that this place took care of the dogs and it showed. I've been taking him for over 3 years (so this reveiw is long overdue), he stays for daycare, boarding and now grooming. The staff is so caring and will give you updates on how your dog did that day and you have the benefit of checking up on your dog via their webcam. I would recommend Dogtopia hands down, they are great!! read more

My boyfriend and I are traveling in Japan, and our puppy (8 mo) Evie is attending doggy daycare at Springfield. Evie is a very playful pup that loves to wrestle with other dogs. She is very energetic and doesn't always lay off but by no definition is she an aggressive puppy. She's only 28 pounds and can't really do much harm to dogs her size. She does get over excited sometimes and needs a break but I feel like the dogtopia staff tends to single her out. I have been watching on the webcam for the last 45 minutes and Evie has been crated 3 times. She's playing with a smaller puppy that's jumping all over her face and the puppy does not let up even when Evie walks away. I don't mind their puppy play but my larger issue is that the current attendant is only pulling Evie away and crating her. The other puppy is just as into the game and runs up to Evie after each time she's let out of the crate. I wouldn't recommend taking your pup here if it enjoys wrestling. I also like to associate being in a crate with positive things. So them crating Evie for their definition of negative behavior is undoing all of my training. This is not the best place for younger puppies that still need a larger amount of playtime. read more

This daycare is located conveniently for us. I like that we can drop her off and watch her on the webcam. I rated 1 star due to the terrible customer service we received for a grooming service. When we picked up our dog, she was visible irritated. Upon further inspection at home, she had razor cuts under her legs on her webbed skin and her anal area was red and swollen. The groomer had clearly used the razor without a guide and pressed it to her skin in sensitive areas. What is truly disturbing is the fact that we were not informed that our dog was injured when we picked her up, as if they tried to cover the mistake. When I addressed this the following business day, we were told "perhaps she was injured during play?" No. We received a call 2 days later "apologizing" for the "irritation" and indicating that the groomer was not aware my dog was hurt. Additionally, we were not offered a refund of our money for the service. So I basically paid for my dog to be hurt. Clearly, the groomer that works here is not an expert. It is clear from the attached photos that my dog was injured. We will not be going back here for grooming and we do not recommend to anyone that cares for their pet's wellbeing. read more

Convenient location/hours and my dog is exhausted afterwards. My dog overheats very quickly, so it's nice to have her in a cool, climate-controlled environment read more

We took our very active 2 year old pit mix here and they welcomed her with open arms! It can be hard to find a place so willing to accept her even though she is very dog friendly. The evaluation process was simple and well explained, and I never doubted my dog was in good hands. I love the webcams so I can check in on her when needed. We also got her nails clipped, she HATES it, but they handled her well and did an excellent job. We took her for her first day of daycare earlier this week and she was happy and exhausted when we picked her up. The second you walk in the door it is a warm, welcoming environment, highly recommend this daycare! read more

Dogtopia in Springfield is amazing! The prices are great, facilities are clean, organized and vibrant. Amber (the owner) is an amazing owner and she's definitely a dog lover. Whenever I'm out of town, I'll leave Athena there without any hesitation. The staff have been really friendly and they are always helpful! read more

As a hairstylist, it is very important to me to see a good haircut. I brought both of my dogs, Rocco and Meeko, the maltipoo and toy poodle here for grooming and can't not be happier. The staffs are nice and helpful . They seem to care for your dogs. Robbie does a Great job for grooming. He listens and care about my dogs. I'm always afraid every time I brought my puppies somewhere and they would keep them in cage for hours before they can get to them (Petco Annandale/ don't go there unless you want your dog cage half a day and look like a rat after grooming) . At Dogtopia Springfield, their service are quick and reasonable. I called on Monday to schedule an appointment and was able to get in the next day. The whole service took an hour and half for both of my dogs to be groomed. They left looking great, happy and smell AMAZING!!!! I purchased their shampoo just because how soft their fur feel and how good they smell. Thank you Robbie and Dogtopia for taking great care of my puppies. read more

We have been bringing our two year old lab, Mowgli here for about three months, and so far, we are very pleased. We did some serious research, and this place really fit our needs. The facility is clean, and every staff member is very responsive and friendly. They even have a web cam for you to check in on your pooch during the day. The staff know you and your dog and have no problems telling you honestly how the day went. They will even put your dog in time-out, if he/she gets too rambunctious. In addition, they have a well-monitored facebook page to keep you posted on news, events and pictures of your pup. We had taken Mowgli to another, highly-rated facility for a year and a half prior to making the switch to Dogtopia of Springfield, and so far, we have received far better customer service here. They also have sister locations where your dog is welcome! Overall, I highly recommend this location. The few downsides: 1) They have no outdoor facility. They will be inside all day. 2) They have a mandatory nap/lunch break for two hours. 3) The webcam is really spotty, unclear and not a free service. 4) They are not open for daycare on Sunday. 5) On a personal note - it is pretty far from our home in Fairfax and more expensive than the other facilities we reviewed. read more

While my dog enjoys going to Dogtopia, we have had several incidents where other dogs were allowed to get too physical with my dog. One incident resulted in my dog needing stitches!! She frequently comes home with a chewed up throat. The staff clearly allows the dogs to play too roughly. I think better management of the dogs, and perhaps fewer dogs in a room is necessary. read more

Highly recommend Dogtopia! I have boarded my 2 Shelties there and have been very happy with the experience. LOVE being able to see my pups live on the webcams. The staff is attentive and helpful. Facility is always spotless. read more

We've been loyal customers of Dogtopia since Yoda was a puppy 2.5 years ago. He is a mischievous Lab (worse than Marley from Marley & Me, stealing anything he can), but the staff is up to the task. Yoda once took a collar off another dog and swallowed it while we were on vacation; the staff brought him to the vet and called us several times to update us on the situation (the vet finally succeeded in expelling it through induced vomiting). Subsequently, the staff trained Yoda not to take off other dogs' collars (except he still wants to take off his sister Chu Chu's collar, so the staff have adapted by putting her in a harness). Our dogs get so excited when we tell them they're going to doggie daycare. The staff take amazing care of them both, during play days and overnights. read more

My dog Montana loves it at dogtopia. There staff is wonderful and very helpful. I would recommend them for any of your pets needs.

We have now taken our dog here four times and he always comes home happy and tired. We did the initial tour and evaluation and they are very friendly. The place is very clean and you can't tell they have multiple dogs in there every day. The hours are great - open at 6:30am until 7pm so you can drop off/pick up around your work schedule. They even have a discounted Saturday rate if you have lots of errands to run. We haven't used their overnight boarding yet but the rate seems very reasonable and we may in the future. Our dog is happy to arrive and excited to go back to play. I can leave him there and not feel guilty leaving him home alone. read more

You get what you pay for and we love it. Great service, clean facilities and the dog loves it. The best part is that in the morning when I'm in a rush it takes 15 seconds to drop off the dog. Thank you Dogtopia! read more

We have been using Dogtopia since October of last year. Our puggle goes once per week and she loves it. She comes tired and happy. The staff is great, very friendly and enthusiastic about dogs. We have used the nail trimming services a few times and that has been great as well. If your dog likes to play with others, great place to go. read more

Amber runs this facility extremely well - her staff consists of well-trained professionals that take the time to get to know your pet's unique mannerisms and habits. I am also impressed with the services this location offers (grooming, etc.). I never worry about my dogs when they are at Dogtopia Springfield because I trust they are in good hands. They come home tired and happy. The regular themed events (e.g., luau) complete with a photo shoot for each dog add some vibrancy to the daycare experience. I really couldn't be happier with the service Dogtopia Springfield provides. read more

Dogtopia has been a great place to take my dog for boarding. I love that they have a webcam so I can check in on him playing throughout the day. I also enjoy getting a post card when I pick him up which talks about his stay, it's a cute idea. I wouldn't take him anywhere else for overnight boarding! read more

My daughter was recently transferred to Virginia Beach after faithfully using the Dogtopia in Springfield, VA for several years. The Springfield staff is outstanding - friendly, competent, enthusiastic, and caring! We truly appreciated Amber's professional handling of a business transaction regarding my daughter's transfer to a location without a Dogtopia! We will miss the streaming videos and fun celebrations. Thanks for the great service! read more

Dogtopia Springfield was very good to my dog for doggy daycare. I appreciate the service and staff there. We just got a rescue Galgo (Spanish Greyhound) and I was not to crate her. Dogtopia crates dogs at lunch and I felt concerned about my dog being crated. They moved her crate into center to staff lead could keep an eye on her. And he sent me photos of her in the crate to assure me she was okay :))) read more

I have used this dogtopia for many years, but this last visit was horrible. When we came to pick up our dog we had to wait, first because they were zipping the cover on our dogs bed (question there was why were they doing that). Then they said "I don't know what XXXXX got into, but he needs a quick rinse". When we look in the window we see our dog with caked on feces that had dried to him. He comes out and still smells like feces and his skin is red and irritated. I said he smells so bad I can't even put him in my car. Then they bathed him again and reduced the smell. I questioned why he was left in this condition long enough for the feces to dry, there was no answer. They then said "oh we meant to tell you he had the runs". I asked why it wasn't on the report to which the answer was "We don't put things like that on the report". Needless to say the answers were slim and the response from the staff underwhelming and non-caring. Offering me a free bath on next visit isn't the answer. Furthermore, letting him stay in a feces soaked bed (which we threw out) reeks of non-caring. After multiple years of using this facility it is time to find another. When you say I wouldn't do that to a dog....think of this Dogtopia. read more

Love love love this place. We have two dogs (Husky and American Eskimo) that loves coming here. Our second puppy is a lot better at dog parks and dealing with other dogs at the dog parks ever since going to Dogtopia. The staff is amazing, and cares for each one like their own. Love this place. Even though we moved to Woodbridge, we still drive the extra mile to go to this place. read more

On 8/2 my vet called me to let me know that Dogtopia had called the vet, seeking our dog's medical treatment records after his injuries at Dogtopia (which I posted here on 7/30). This was done without our consent. also, Amber said in her comment to my review (also posted the same day, likely after my call to Dogtopia to ask why they had sought my dog's medical records without notifying me) that our dog had been diagnosed with colitis - which I never mentioned on the phone. Amber said in her comments that if I cared to share Felix's medical records I could - but they had already attempted to get them without my permission and I believe that her comments here were only made to do "damage control" after the fact. I believe they are utilizing this forum to portray that my dog's stomach condition was stress-induced, but the vet told me that my dog's system was loaded with bacteria. These new factors only reinforce our decision not to use Dogtopia again. read more

The staff makes every customer feel that their dog is special and unique. Really enjoy the theme days. Even during a busy check in or check out day, the staff never seems to frustrated.. they keep a calm demeanor even in the midst of the chaos. read more

Excellent facility...... All the employees are friendly, they have cameras for you to watch your dog during the day and plenty of room for your dog to run around. I've taken my dog here for day care (20 bucks for all day Saturday) and boarded him here for long weekends and he always comes home happy. Highly recommend. read more

I am annoyed to the max with Dogtopia in springfield! I brought my puppy there for a great experience,which he did have before hand we boarded him, so decided to bring him for daycare one day- and had watched the camera that day and noticed he wasn't in any rooms-called there and they said he was sleeping- then called again to let them know I was on my way- still nothing was said to me- as soon as I hang up- they call me back like" oh, we need to report a situation.." almost snickering(which I did too, thinking it was not an emergency)(they state he was embarrassed, ill give him that) that my dog was aroused(not a big deal, right) they never once explained how BAD it was. HIS ENTIRE PRIVATE PART WAS HANGING OUT- I gasped and took a pic of it as soon as I saw him(I have pics proving so) when the owner brought him out, they just calmly brought him as if I was suppose to think it was ok- they should of notified me wayyyy before it got to be where it was. It was so so so swollen and so red - it was horrible, not sure how did they not see this as a notification to parents- they failed his care. They failed to call me and I ended up going to the 24 hour vet emergency and the vet AND the whole staff said they never seen it that bad before, he ended up with having to get sedated and cut to put it back in bc it was so swollen by the time I got there. I am not sure how the owner does not see how they were in the wrong here and should take liability for what happened, clearly whoever supervised was not doing it enough! yes, I understand there are more than just him there, but clearly if his entire private is swollen, dark red and just aroused all the way out, some kind of instinct should kick in to say "hey, let notify the parent" not to crate and put a cone on him if he clearly seemed in pain and keep licking at it. very very annoyed, not to mention the surgery cost $700(again, I have my paperwork )and also the Vet agreed that it was negligence on the day care part for supervision. The owner did try to reach out, it was a vague phone call on basically hoping that I wouldn't put blame on them, but shame on them- I am still annoyed- he is still in a cone and the stitches can't still come out and oh, they sent a card to try and say they hope he feels better!ya.NO! read more

My dog Natasha got sick while she was staying at the Dogtopia in Springfield VA. They took her to the veterinary for me and made sure she was ok. I have been taking her to this location for several years and I trust that she is in good hands there. I am getting a puppy soon and will be leaving her there as well. I recommend this location to anyone who wants to ensure their best friends are taken care of when you have to be away. read more

Service here is all around awesome! From the phone to in person and their interactions with the dogs they are just great! Was able to make same day appt. for 2 dogs and the were done way ahead of schedule! Will definitely be repeat customers! read more
