Bethesda Doghouse

We absolutely love this daycare and boarding facility and so does our dog Clifford! He’s usually a little shy, but the staff have made him feel so comfortable that now he gets extremely excited to go and clearly adores the people there. We also really appreciate the picture updates they send — it gives us so much peace of mind seeing him happy and having fun. We trust them completely and couldn’t recommend them more.

While living in DC for a year, my 3 year old Lab enjoyed every minute of her time at Bethesda Dog House. She was there regularly on a weekly basis and spent a handful of overnight boarding trips there as well. She was treated by all of the caring and kind staff like as if she was their own dog. Always felt safe leaving her with them knowing she would get tons of attention, playtime and care. Couldn't recommend enough!

Atlas Doghouse takes fantastic care of Zoey. They were very attentive to Zoey's dietary requirements and made her feel quite welcome in their space. Even though Zoey is a medium-sized boxer, she is older and more reserved, but Atlas separated daycare by dog energy vs. size and has handled each one with wonderful care, respect, and love. While there are no cameras, Atlas is quite active on social media and frequently updates me with pictures while boarding. They always made me feel at ease and were accommodating with drop-off and pick-up times. As soon as I turn into the street, Zoey becomes excited on her way to drop off. She adores the people who work there. I've used Atlas for daycare, boarding, and a variety of doggy activities.

My dog Mocha loves Atlas Doghouse. She is usually shy but the staff does a great job to make her feel at home. It really helps that they separate dogs by energy levels and tend to have the same dogs every week - this creates a pack my dog is confortable around and happy to be with. The staff is focused on maintaining a happy and well behaved pack, so my dog comes back happy, relaxed and best of all tired! Great for overnight stays as well for weekends or longer!

I cannot express enough how much Atlas has improved the quality of life for both my puppy, Boomer, and myself. We do both daycare and boarding and they always send me pictures and videos (because I may be a nervous mother) and they shower my little one with love. Every day we get out of the car Boomer is bursting at the seems to get in the door. He may love Atlas more than I do 🙂

We brought our English Toy Spaniel here for 2 days as part of trial before being admitted into boarding. We felt so at ease throughout the process. Even though we didn’t end up boarding our dog that weekend, there were several instances which made me know we had found a good boarding place when the situation calls for it. When we picked up my dog on the second day, the man at the counter got up to say goodbye to us, and told me he wouldn’t be around for the weekend. He then proceeds to cup my dog’s face in his hands, and tenderly said goodbye. It was complete natural, completely genuine. My dog, who usually hates strangers and would NEVER allow ANYONE to TOUCH him let alone cup his face, gazed back adoringly. A dog knows what a dog knows. We will not hesitate to board our dog here when we need to and recommend this place.

We adore this place. Our pup is a handful, and we have always known that he is so safe and loved by the amazing staff here. The peace of mind we get from knowing our dog is healthy and happy here is priceless. Our pup is always thrilled to see his friends. As a bonus, the staff are so accommodating and communicative. We started when it was Atlas at the HStreet location and were so happy we could count on the same quality and care when we moved. Now, with its transition to Bethesda Doghouse, we continue to be impressed by how loved we know our dog is.
