About Colby's
Your Family-Owned
Pet Resort in Washington, DC
Award Winning. Veterinarian Recommended. Glowing Reviews. Immeasurable Tail Wags.
Colby’s Dogcare & Spa was founded by local pup lover Michael Pastreich, who envisioned a better home-away-from-home for his beloved pup, Colby. Michael couldn’t find a pet resort in Washington, DC, where Colby would feel as loved, safe, and comfortable as he did at home—so he decided to create one himself. From our state-of-the-art facility to our exceptional staff and round-the-clock care, we ensure every pup feels like the precious family member they are, just like Colby.

- We’re honored to care for and spend time with your pups so they’re happy, healthy, and vibrant even when you’re away from home. Our highly trained and devoted staff provides loving, individualized care, including 24-hour supervision, 365 days a year. Visit us for all-suite dog boarding, enriching dog daycare, professional dog grooming, and proven dog training at our conveniently located Washington, DC pet resort. Your pup’s happiness, comfort, and safety are what we’re all about—as well as your peace of mind.
- We’re a small, family-owned business with a loving atmosphere and lots of personal attention for every pup.
- Pups are never left alone—our pupcare specialists are on-site 24 hours a day, every day, for unmatched supervision.
- All of our guests stay in private, airy, glass-front suites with all the comforts of home.
- Each of our four spacious, soundproof playrooms is separately climate-controlled and ventilated.
- Our pet resort is at ground level for easy access and peace of mind.
- We specialize in personalized enrichment and catering to each pup’s unique needs and personality.
