Description

Specialties

The Pender Pet Retreat offers a choice of accommodations, services, exercise programs, pampering and more to maximize the comfort level of your pet’s stay.

We are the home of the Pampered Puppy Program! The Pampered Puppy Program was developed for dogs who need more personal interaction throughout the day and for those who are extremely active. This program includes three exercise periods during the day (the Morning Playschool, the Afternoon Nature Trail Hike and the Bedtime Exercise) and your choice of daily treat.

We offer a Bedtime Exercise & Snack Activity — This gives your dog extra time outside just before bed. They recieve a frozen yogurt treat or low-​calorie biscuit treat before being tucked in for a good night’s sleep.

We have surveillance cameras to monitor our facility 24 hours a day, we conduct an after hours check of our guests each evening, and we have a someone who lives on-​site.

Bathing, transportation, shipping & veterinary services are also available on site.

History

Established in 1980.

Drs. Mark Johnson and Don Powell opened Dulles Gateway Kennels in1980. Because they also owned Pender Veterinary Centre, opening a boarding facility was a natural way for them to improve the quality of care of boarding facilities, allowing them to have direct supervision over the animals entrusted to them. We chose our location because of the tranquil, country setting it provided for our guests. Although the area has grown over the last 30 years and our name has changed to Pender Pet Retreat at Dulles Gateway, our owners remain the same. And our facility remains a peaceful gem set on six wooded acres that our guests can enjoy.

Business Owner

Dr. Johnson graduated from The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1969. He helped found the «Pets On Wheels,» which provides pet visits to nursing homes throughout the state of Virginia. He also serves on the Board of Clinical Practice at the Virginia-​Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine.

Dr. Powell graduated with BA in Biology and Chemistry from the University of Delaware. He received his doctorate (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) from Cornell University

As told by Dr. Johnson: «I have been passionately pursuing my love of veterinary medicine since I was 10 years old. Dr. Don Powell and I became partners when we were both young doctors. We had a mission. We wanted to improve veterinary medicine and we wanted to offer the best care possible for pets in our care. I’d like to think that we accomplished both.»
