TL;DR
Hounds Town USA is opening its second Virginia location in Dulles, owned and operated by local entrepreneurs Darren and Misse Parzow. The new facility will provide pet care services including interactive dog daycare, pet boarding, and stress-free spa services.
Pets and their owners in Northern Virginia are in for a treat with the upcoming opening of Hounds Town’s newest location. Owned and operated by local entrepreneurs Darren and Misse Parzow, the new facility will open its doors on May 3 and is set to become the go-to destination for pet care in the bustling Washington, D.C., metro area.
Conveniently located near Dulles International Airport, the new facility will serve dog lovers throughout Loudoun County and surrounding communities. With a background in multi-unit restaurant operations and regional franchise support, Darren brings a wealth of experience in process, procedure, and daily operations to the Hounds Town system. Misse, whose career has centered on federal contracts management, will support the business behind the scenes.
“As longtime Rottweiler owners, we’ve experienced firsthand how difficult it can be to find inclusive, trustworthy care for our dogs,” said Darren. “Hounds Town’s commitment to no breed, age, or ability discrimination really resonated with us, and we’re looking forward to bringing that standard of care to pet families throughout Northern Virginia. After meeting the brand’s team and learning more about the mission behind letting dogs be dogs, we knew this was the right opportunity and the right time to jump in.”
The Parzows bring both passion and operational expertise to the business and are proud members of the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce. They’re also eager to build strong ties with local shelters and community organizations as they establish Hounds Town as a trusted name in pet care throughout the region.
“Bringing Hounds Town to Northern, VA means more than opening a new facility—it’s about creating a place where dogs can truly be themselves,” said Rob Flanagan, CEO of Hounds Town.
Hounds Town services include interactive dog daycare, pet boarding, and stress-free spa services. Overseen by a well-trained staff, dogs are able to play all day, providing both physical and mental stimulation, with a group of dogs that match their size and temperament for safe and fun socialization— guaranteeing a Hounds Town Hangover when pets go home. Hounds Town has a no-breed discrimination policy, making it easier for all pet owners to find reliable care.
