Our location is proudly owned and operated by Chip, Barbara, Rachel, and Edward Sutelan, along with Mary Pyle — a family team of lifelong Hampton Roads residents who have turned their shared love of dogs into a second career. After years in other fields, Chip, Barbara, and Mary decided to follow their passion and bring the Dogtopia experience to local pet parents. For Rachel, and her fiance Donny, Dogtopia is a chance to start an exciting career doing something they love.
We’re excited to be growing, too — our family recently opened Dogtopia of Ghent, serving the wonderful dog-loving community in the heart of Norfolk!
At Dogtopia of Town Center, we treat every pup like part of our own family. Whether your dog is here for daycare, spa services, boarding, or enrichment training, you can count on us for a fun, caring, and clean environment designed just for them.
Come visit us and see why dogs (and their humans) love being part of the Dogtopia family!

OUR PURPOSE BEYOND PROFIT
“to ENhance the joy of dog parenthood and enable dogs to positively change our world”
The Dogtopia mission statement is why we got involved in the first place. It’s the reason our passionate teams come to work every day. It’s our noble cause and what guides all that we do. The Dogtopia Foundation instills three key pillars into each dog daycare center.
Service Dogs for Veterans
We are committed to funding service dog training for Veterans returning home with physical and emotional challenges. With grandfathers on both sides of our family having served in the military, in addition to Morgan’s husband who is an active duty member of the United States Navy, this cause falls near to our hearts. Each month we host a variety of fundraiser events to raise money for sponsoring a service dog.
Employment Initiatives for Adults with Autism
We actively employ adults with autism at our facilities to help individuals experience a higher quality of life and an increased self-determination. This program has brought so much joy to our team, pet parents, and dogs!
Therapy Dogs for Students
The Pet Partners program has allowed our Dogtopia family to give back to the community directly, through their own dogs. Our pet parents love the opportunity to help students build self-confidence within their local communities.
We want you to be a part of our noble cause
By choosing Dogtopia as the care provider for your pup, you also become part of our family. We hope you will choose to support our noble cause and help us enable dogs to change our world.
We can’t wait to meet you!
