Daycare
Seneca Hill Dog Daycare Services in Great Falls, VA
Our dog daycare program at Seneca Hill was named in Washingtonian’s “BEST,” category. As a healthy and fun-filled alternative to leaving your dog home alone, our experienced staff is ready to give out lots of hugs, kisses, and belly rubs as they help our doggie day campers have a great time.
Daycare at Seneca Hill is fun, which is why we call it our “doggie day camp.” The carefully planned program is designed to keep pets active and stress-free, allow dogs to make new friends, expend extra energy (maybe lose a few pounds), and have a great time. After a day of adult-supervised activity with other dogs of the same size and demeanor, your dog will return home relaxed and happy, tidied up, and exhausted.
Learn more about enrolling your dog in our doggie daycare program by calling (703) 450-6760.

Daycare Facilities
Seneca Hill’s spacious outdoor play area and specially designed indoor space are ideal for day camp activities. Security indoor and outdoor cameras help keep campers safe, as do the double and triple doors at exits.
Inside our fully enclosed building, 24 heating and air conditioning units provide year-round comfort and complete air changes every 5 minutes, while ultraviolet lights in all ducts help kill odor-causing and other airborne bacteria.
In case of a medical emergency, our day camp has a full-service, AAHA-accredited veterinary hospital on the premises.
If you have an emergency and are unable to pick your camper up until the following day, Seneca Hill also has a luxury five-paw resort onsite where your pet can comfortably spend the night.
