Our story:

We are K-9 Divine. Rachel, the founder, started this business with the passion that dogs deserve to be in wide-open spaces as much as possible, whether indoors or out. It is in their DNA. She also understands the unique needs of extremely busy professionals who love their dogs and want THE BEST for them. So, she set out to create a unique and special dog boarding and daycare service that attracts clients from as far as Canada!

Located on 80 acres, K-9 Divine is a favorite of our four-legged friends. We offer boarding, daycare, and dog training, and limited pet pick-up services in DC. K-9 Divine offers a fully cage-free environment with over 9000 sq feet of indoor space with lots of comfy couches and beds for our guests to sleep.
