The Dogg House

The Dogg House facility was constructed by the Dofflemyer family in 1983 and operated at its current location under a different name until 1993. In 1998 the facility was remodeled, and the Dogg House was officially opened under the direction of Barton G. Dofflemyer. Barton’s parents have owned and operated Wakefield Kennel in Earlysville since 1974, and he has virtually grown up in the pet care industry. Barton is a graduate of Virginia Tech and has had a lifelong talent and love for animals and their care. Barton’s dedication and enthusiasm is unsurpassed, and he strives to deliver both superb pet care and excellent customer service. A retail space was opened in late 2022 to make it a one stop shop. The Dogg House hired Jennifer and Shawn to run the retail store, they come to The Dogg House with 20 years' experience in the pet industry.
