Dog Home Away From Home

Dog Home Away From Home is a farm-based kennel offering dog boarding and daycare in Purcellville, Virginia. Dogs stay in climate-controlled kennels and spend their waking hours together in a group play setting rather than in separate runs. The property includes a large fenced field where staff supervise off-leash running.

Services and amenities

• Overnight and long-term boarding
• Daycare in a group play environment on the farm
• Climate-controlled kennels with bedding, bowls and fresh water provided
• Medication administration during a stay
• Pet pickup and drop-off service

What makes this kennel different

Most of the day happens outside. The fenced field gives dogs room to run under staff supervision, which suits high-energy dogs who get restless in a small run. Staff are on site around the clock, so overnight guests are not left alone between shifts. The group play setup works best for dogs that are already comfortable around other dogs.

Practical details

The kennel sits at 19211 Silcott Springs Road, and it operates seven days a week from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Reservations are handled by phone at 786-252-9248. Published rates run from $20 to $50 per night, with a discount for a second or additional pet from the same household. Bedding, bowls and fresh water are provided. Payment options include cash, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, credit cards and checks.

Proof of current vaccinations is required before a dog can stay. A pickup and drop-off service is available for owners who cannot make the drive themselves, which is worth asking about when booking a longer trip.
