Diamond Dog Resort

Diamond Dog Resort is a small kennel at 4723B Reels Mills Road offering dog boarding in Frederick, MD, plus training. Capacity tops out at 14 dogs, which puts it closer to a farm homestay than a big-box facility. The property is a working small farm, and the cows, goats, and chickens give the guests something to watch.

What a stay looks like

Each dog gets individual outdoor play three to four times a day, 20 to 30 minutes at a stretch, in an 8,000 square foot fenced grass yard. Indoor kennels are climate controlled, and private suites are available. Staff administer medication when a dog needs it, and owners receive daily photo and status updates.

Dogs other kennels decline

Diamond Dog Resort accepts non-spayed and non-neutered dogs, and it accepts dogs with aggressive tendencies. Separate isolated spaces hold aggressive, loud, or anxious dogs so they are not parked next to the general population. For a 14-dog operation, that is an unusual amount of flexibility.

Health and cleaning

The facility runs a Genesis 2.6 HOCL atomizer that cleanses the air and surfaces. Vaccinations must be up to date before a dog stays.

Published rates run $70 to $130 per day. Booking is handled online. Owners with questions can call 240-415-6294 or email woof@diamonddogresort.com, and the kennel also keeps a presence on Facebook and Instagram.
