Harvest Moon Pet Boarding

Harvest Moon Pet Boarding handles dog boarding and daycare in Boonsboro, Maryland, for dogs and cats alike. Kennels measure 10 feet by 5 feet, big enough that dogs from the same household can share one instead of being separated. Heating and air conditioning run year-round, with background music in the buildings.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding for dogs and cats
• Day boarding for shorter visits
• Four outdoor play yards
• Nature walks on four acres of trails
• Take-home baths and nail trims

What sets it apart

Dogs go out to the play yards through the day, and the four acres of trails give them a longer walk with something to smell. Staff send daily updates with pictures, so owners can see how the stay is going. Medication is administered for dogs that need it, and raised beds, cots, and blankets are provided. Alarm systems and 24/7 remote monitoring cover the buildings after hours. Grooming extras like a take-home bath or a nail trim can be added to a boarding stay.

Practical details

The kennel is open from 5:00 AM to 7:00 PM, seven days a week. Daycare is an option for owners who need coverage during a workday rather than overnight. Reservations go through email at justlikehome@harvestmoonpetboarding.com, and the phone number is (301) 432-8800. Published rates run $29 to $39 per day. Proof of vaccination is required before a pet can stay, so it helps to sort out the paperwork ahead of a first visit. The facility sits in Boonsboro, in Washington County, and more details are posted at harvestmoonpetboarding.com.
