About Our Daycare Evaluation
Because it is normal for a dog’s social preferences and behavior to evolve, we’ll regularly update you on any changes to your dog’s preferences and adjust their activities to continue to provide the best experience at our facility.
Once your dog has successfully completed a Daycare Evaluation, you will be able to schedule a la carte or recurring daycare reservations.

At The Board Hound, our daycare was established to enrich the lives of the dogs in our community through healthy outlets for play and socialization. Our smaller play groups come with individual care and attention, while providing a low-stress, safe, daycare environment at our location in Alexandria, Virginia. Since safety is our first priority, we start with providing a high staff to dog ratio of about 1 to 10. This personalization ensures that your dog is always closely monitored.
