Sunchaser Kennels

Sunchaser Kennels offers dog boarding and daycare in Union Bridge, Maryland, on a 28-acre property at 13416 Liberty Rd. Dogs of every size stay in indoor/outdoor runs instead of crates, and the kennel boards cats as well.

How dogs are housed

The kennel has 65 indoor/outdoor runs divided into small, medium, and large wings, which keeps size groups apart. The buildings are heated and air conditioned. Each run opens to the outside, so dogs can move between indoors and fresh air through the day.

Boarding is crate-free, and staff administer medication for dogs that need it. Owners can bring their own food at no extra charge, which helps for dogs on a set diet or a sensitive stomach.

Services

• Crate-free boarding for small, medium, large, and giant dogs
• Daycare for owners who need a day option rather than an overnight stay
• Grooming and training on site
• Cat boarding
• Medication administration, including for daily doses

Add-ons include extra playtime, snuggle time, and stuffed Kong treats, so a stay can be customized without booking a longer package.

Rates, hours, and booking

Boarding is $38 to $42 per night according to the rates published on the kennel's own site. Reservations are made online, and vaccinations are required for every guest. The kennel is open 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Saturday, plus a Sunday window from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

Tours are free during business hours with no appointment needed. That is the practical way to see the wings, the runs, and the outdoor space before committing to a holiday week. Questions can go to 301-898-3198 or SunchaserResv@gmail.com.
