Sarah's Dog Haven

Sarah's Dog Haven is an in-home dog boarding and daycare service in Frederick, Maryland, run out of a house at 717 Northside Dr. Dogs stay cage-free with access to the living room, not a row of kennel runs. It operates seven days a week.

Services

• Overnight dog boarding in a cage-free, in-home setting
• Daycare for owners who need a single day covered
• A 6-foot fenced yard of 1,500 square feet for outdoor time
• Indoor play, comfortable bedding, and safe toys
• Medication administration for dogs on a prescription schedule

What sets it apart

The setting is the main difference between this place and a commercial kennel. A dog staying here has the run of the living room and the fenced yard rather than a designated dog wing. Bedding is comfortable, and a crate is provided for dogs who sleep better in one. Dogs get outdoor time in the yard and indoor play, which matters on days when Maryland weather turns. Owners hear from Sarah's Dog Haven every day, with photos sent by text or email while they are away.

Who it suits

The cage-free, in-home format tends to work best for dogs who settle better in a house than in a facility with concrete runs and steady noise. Dogs on daily medication are accepted, since medication administration is part of the service. Owners who want regular contact during a trip get a daily photo either way.

Rates and booking

Boarding rates published by the business run $55 to $65 per night. Reservations are made by phone at 301-351-9576. Spanish is spoken here, so se habla español. The house sits at 717 Northside Dr, Frederick, MD 21701, inside the city itself. Daycare is available for owners who need a day of care rather than an overnight stay.
