We're a family and veteran-owned business with over a decade of experience in pet care, including rescue work and veterinary technician services. Unlike traditional kennels, we provide in-home boarding in our safe, clean home in Bowie, Maryland, where your dog receives personalized attention and care.

Your pet stays in a comfortable home environment with our resident pack - Marshall, Mathers, and Gwen - who help every guest feel welcome.

We proudly serve Bowie and the surrounding areas throughout Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia, including:

Yes! We provide a complimentary meet and greet at our home in Bowie. This allows you to see our facilities, meet our family and resident dogs, and ensure we're the right fit for your furry family member. It also helps your dog feel more comfortable when they arrive for their stay.

We recommend booking as early as possible, especially during holidays and peak travel seasons. However, we understand that sometimes you need last-minute care, so please don't hesitate to reach out - we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.

Your dog's stay includes:

• Comfortable sleeping arrangements in our home

For the safety of all pets in our care, we require current vaccinations including:

Please bring vaccination records or have your vet send them to us before your dog's stay.

Absolutely! Our enhanced care services include medication administration. We have experience with various medications and special needs due to our veterinary technician background. We'll follow your exact instructions to ensure your dog receives proper care.

We're experienced in handling dogs with special dietary requirements. Please bring your dog's regular food and detailed feeding instructions. We can accommodate special diets, feeding schedules, and any dietary restrictions your pet may have.

We collect your pet's preferred veterinary information during intake and will take them to their regular vet or emergency clinic of your choice. In case of any medical concern, we'll contact you immediately and seek appropriate veterinary care. We're trained to recognize signs of distress and will always prioritize your dog's health and safety.

Every dog's day is customized to their needs, but typically includes:

• Morning feeding and potty break
• Playtime with our resident pack (if appropriate)
• Individual attention and training reinforcement
• Afternoon activities and exercise
• Evening feeding and settling down
• Bedtime snuggles and comfort

We carefully introduce new dogs to our resident pack - Marshall, Mathers, and Gwen. Not all dogs are suited for pack play, and we always prioritize safety. During the meet and greet, we'll assess your dog's social compatibility and discuss the best approach for their stay.

We understand that some dogs experience separation anxiety. Our home environment, combined with constant companionship and attention, helps minimize stress.
