I would recommend this place to anyone that has cats. My 15 year old, handsome boy just got groomed- bath and blow dry, ear and eye cleaning, and a nail trim. He didn’t look stressed coming out, and he’s smells so fresh and clean. First time here and would definitely come back! Loved the pictures during the grooming process, thank you for the stress-free experience.

I have been taking my cat to Happy Cat Hotel for grooming for years, and they’re honestly the only groomers in the DMV area that I really trust. The groomers are super knowledgeable and always give me helpful advice. One time they told me the brush I was using could damage my cat’s coat and recommended a better one. Last week, after my cat had a tooth extraction, they noticed something smelled off around his gums during grooming and told me right away. I’m so grateful they paid attention because I was able to follow up with his vet. I also feel completely comfortable boarding my cats there. They send daily diary updates with photos, and those updates honestly make my day. They’re seriously the best in the DMV in my opinion. I just wish they had a location closer to me 😂 but I’ll keep making the drive because I trust them that much!

I can’t imagine boarding my cats at any other facility! I always know my kitties are well cared for and someone is paying attention to them every day! Plus the detailed report daily of their enrichment activities is fantastic. I never worry when I am out of town! Also, the grooming services are excellent. My kitties never looked so good! Highly recommend!

My cat loved her experience at the Happy Cat Hotel! We had to board our cat, Mokie, quickly and unexpectedly due to a house flood and home repairs shortly after 2026 began. We initially did not know how long we would need boarding for Mokie since three rooms in our house had been flooded (and there were lots of timelines and contractors we needed to account for to get everything fixed). I was nervous about boarding Mokie, of course, since we had never boarded her before but I knew that boarding was our only option while our house was undergoing repairs. Everyone at the Happy Cat Hotel was wonderful, responsive, and very understanding. They were able to get me set up in their system the same day that I ended up dropping off Mokie for boarding. I adored receiving their daily reports and pictures which reassured me that she was having a great time. I could tell that each and every person at the Happy Cat Hotel cared deeply for my kitty and showered her with love. Mokie ended up staying at the hotel for a month and when I came to pick her up, she didn't want to leave! Dealing with a house flood was the most stressful experience of my life but I'm so glad that my cat didn't have to endu

We had a wonderful experience with Happy Cat Hotel and highly recommend them. The facility is bright, spotless, and completely odor-free. The moment you walk in, you can tell how well cared for it is. The location is very convenient, and every staff member we interacted with clearly genuinely loves cats. The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully designed, and they are noticeably larger than other cat-boarding options we looked at in the DC metro area. We also really appreciated how careful and conscientious they are about security. Doors are always locked and staff are very mindful of who is let in, which gave us real peace of mind knowing there was no risk of our cats accidentally escaping. The staff were also incredibly kind in allowing all of our children to come in and say goodbye at drop-off, which meant a lot to our family. While we were away, we loved the daily updates, which included photos and notes about what our cats did each day. We also opted for the webcam add-on, which was absolutely worth it for us. It really put our minds at ease, and our kids loved being able to check in on the kitties whenever they wanted while we were away. Our cats are bonded siblings, and t
