cudi's canine crew

cudi's canine crew is a small in-home dog boarding service in Baltimore, Maryland, where dogs stay overnight in the host's own home rather than a commercial kennel. Only two dogs are booked per night, so the setup suits owners who want their dog treated like a houseguest instead of one of a crowd. Rates run $50 to $75 per night.

What a stay looks like

The day is built around one-on-one attention. Dogs get individual walks, a mix of solo and group playtime, and indoor play at the house. Owners receive real-time text updates with pictures and videos while they are away. Crates are available on request, so there is no need to haul one across town. Medication can be given to dogs that need it.

Services offered

• In-home overnight boarding, capped at two dogs per night
• One-on-one dog walks with individualized care
• House sitting in the pet's own home
• Pet transportation to vet and grooming appointments
• Pickup and drop-off

Before the first stay

A meet-and-greet is required before any boarding booking, which gives the dogs a chance to meet each other first. Vaccinations have to be up to date. Booking is handled by email at cudiscrewdogwalking@gmail.com, and the business can also be reached by phone at (443) 376-6749. With only two spots per night, dates are limited, so Baltimore owners planning travel do well to ask early. For dogs that do better in familiar surroundings, house sitting in the owner's own home is an alternative to boarding.
