Brazen Tails

Brazen Tails offers in-home dog boarding in Baltimore, MD, along with dog walking, pet sitting, and cat visits. Dogs stay overnight in a sitter's home rather than a kennel run, and the setup is cage-free. The same team handles daily walks and drop-in visits, so a dog can keep a familiar routine while its owner is away.

Services

• Overnight boarding in a sitter's home, cage-free
• Small-group park walks with compatible dogs
• 20- and 30-minute walks, plus solo walks
• Cat visits with feeding, litter care, and brushing
• Pet transport to daycares, groomers, and vets

What sets it apart

The home-based model suits dogs that do better outside a boarding facility: seniors, nervous dogs, or dogs on a medication schedule. Staff administer medication and follow special diets. Brazen Tails belongs to the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters, is insured and bonded, and its walkers are certified in pet first aid and CPR. New clients start with a free consultation at home, which gives the sitter a chance to meet the dog on its own ground before anything is booked.

Practical details

Booking is handled by phone at 443-621-5445. Regular hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Published overnight rates run from $80 to $110 per day, depending on the dog. Pickup and drop-off can be arranged, which helps owners working around flight times or long shifts.

Owners looking for park time and small-group walks as part of a stay will find that built into how this business already operates. The emphasis is on active dogs and steady routines in a house, not square footage. For a dog that treats a kennel as a stressful place, that difference tends to matter more than amenities do.
