What sets it apart

A vet in the same building matters most to owners of older dogs or dogs on medication. Private suites give dogs that do better on their own a quieter option than a shared run. The play areas are stocked with jungle gyms and toys, and there is outdoor space alongside indoor play, so a rainy week doesn't shut down the fun. Staff can also work with special diets, which helps if a dog eats a prescription or limited-ingredient food.

Practical details

The resort is open 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM Monday through Friday, and 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday, so weekday drop-offs before work are workable. Booking is by phone at 443-869-4071 rather than an online form. Proof of vaccination is required before any stay. Published rates run from $25 to $125 per night, depending on the animal and the room type, which covers everything from a standard cat stay to a luxury dog suite. Owners in South Baltimore and the surrounding neighborhoods are close enough for a short drive either way.
