Dog Boarding in Charlestown, MD

“Karen and her husband were very nice. Never hesitated to answer my text when checking on Charlie and even sent pictures. I would highly recommend Karen to others and will use her services again.”

About: I’ve owned cats and dogs my entire life. I currently own two standard Goldendoodles and foster cats/kittens for the Hero Rescue. I have been an animal lover since I was a small child. I have patience with pets that need some time adapting to a new person in their area. I work full time so pets that are crate trained would work best for boarding in my home. If you would rather me come for drop ins I can stay and make sure they are fed, have water, get play time, and plenty of love while I’m there. Dogs in my home would have a fenced in yard for supervised potty breaks and play time. I also have enough space to throw a ball/toy for fetch inside for extra exercise. They would have my 2 Goldendoodles for company but any boarders would need to be crate trained so I don’t have to worry about them getting into anything while I’m at work. I also have cameras in my home so I can check in on everyone throughout the day. Drop ins would get attention, love, and play time while I’m at your home with them.

“Sue was great. My dog got along with her two dogs, and had a nice fenced in yard for them to run and play. She kept me informed and sent me a couple of pics over the week. Havre de Grace isis on the way to the Baltimore airport so very convenient drop off snd pick up. I don’t travel Vera often but will reach out the next time I do.”

“My two dogs stayed with Alexandra for 4 nights. I left two happy, healthy, and well cared for dogs. I picked up two happy, healthy, and well cared for dogs. She provided daily updates and pictures which provided great peace of mind. I will definitely use her again!”

“Pearl and Lanny took great care of our dog for us while we were away. They treated him like he was one of their own, which put our minds totally at ease. Pearl was very attentive to every tidbit of information that we shared with her about our dog's routine, preferences, and quirks, showing how very conscientious she is when she accepts someone else's pet in her care. She graciously arranged for a meet-and-greet before our first booking to confirm that things would work out well, which they did. We received notes from Pearl while we were away, giving us even greater assurance that all was well. Based on an exceptional initial experience, we will be repeat customers. We are very grateful to have some who will care just as well for our four-legged family member as we would during those times when we need or prefer to leave him temporarily. Thank you, Pearl (and Lanny), for being there for us!”

“Thomas and his sons took great care of Tucker while I was away. He responded quickly every time I reached out and Tucker seemed right at home when I picked him up at the end of his stay!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don’t know how to explain this except: Jess is basically Dodger’s second family now. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for the type of sitter who treats your dog like FAMILY…like actual family…Jess is the one. I honestly don’t think Dodger realized he was being “boarded.” He thought he was on vacation with his new cousins, new uncles, and his new favorite person on earth (Dan 😆). From the minute we dropped him off, Jess was so reassuring and kind. She sent constant updates, pictures, and little stories that made my heart feel so much better. And not just “here’s your dog existing” pictures…NO. We’re talking: *Dodger cuddling her husband like they’ve been best buds for 10 years *Dodger snuggled up with her youngest like they were watching Saturday morning cartoons *Dodger and Tanner acting like long-lost brothers reunited *Dodger eating, relaxing, wagging his tail like a helicopter blade *Dodger getting a whole spa bath after rolling in the yard mud 😭💀 He even chewed through a Kong, which honestly deserves its own award. I warned her he was a super chewer, but I don’t think ANYONE was ready for him to destroy the “indestructible” toy. She just laughed and sent pictures like, “Welp, he’s having the time of his life.” 😂 The whole time she made sure I felt comfortable…even when my baby stole my phone and I panicked thinking I missed messages 😅 She was patient, flexible, and genuinely cared about him AND about us. Dodger came home happy, clean, tired, and FULL of love. His tail literally didn’t stop wagging the entire stay. And I’m pretty sure he thinks Jess’s house is his second home now…which I’m honestly fine with, because I know he’s safe and adored there. Jess and her whole family are wonderful, warm people. They treated Dodger like he belonged with them, and that’s all a dog mom could ever want. We will definitely be booking again (unless Dan steals him permanently 😂). Thank you, Jess, for loving our boy so well. He misses you all already! ❤️🐾 P.s thank you for being so accommodating and helpful with his bath, I loved getting to pick him up early and snuggle him with us the moment he came home🥹💕”

“We had an excellent experience! She was absolutely awesome and took great care of Jireh. She kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Jireh looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him. Highly recommend! 🐾”

“I loved interacting with Kwame. He was kind, very communicative, VERY understanding, VERY reliable. I had to leave the country on short notice, looked into his profile, reached out to him and the setup was very smooth. He responded quickly and was all for keeping my baby for about a month. He kept me in the loop, asked any and all necessary questions about care details, sent me photos and videos. Once he knew everything, I was able to go throughout the busy days without checking in consistently. My baby seemed very happy with him & I can tell he was treated with much love. Keanu came home very happy. 💙”

“Diane was great & I'd recommend her for your dog sitting needs. Cared for a senior dog with medication needs. Lots of walks! Kept us informed on how our dog was doing. A joy to talk to and was very friendly.”

Amalynn S.

“Jessica was very accommodating throughout the process. She even agreed to having our furbabies meet before the stay so I was comfortable with their likeness to each other. She was also very accommodating and get me updated on my little Oliver was doing. Would definitely book again with Jessica :)”

Belia G.

“Justin and Stephanie will absolutely be our new go- to pet sitters. The pictures updates they sent said more than a thousand words! Our pup was loved and exercised daily. They followed all instructions and kept us in the loop with everything. 100/10 amazing.”

Jessica S.

“Geosselyn is friendly and very kind. She gave me frequent updates with photos/video to let me know how my dog was adjusting at her home. My small Maltese truly received excellent, personalized care. I highly recommend Geosselyn and will place my dog in her care again!”

Samuel T.

“Never had to leave my pup behind before, was super nervous. He did great, Tabby was great. Got my man back happy as could be. Must’ve had a good time because he is the nervous type and it was like he didn’t even realize we were gone! She was awesome. Easy drop off, easy pick up. Got my dude back in one piece and happy. Couldn’t ask for better!”

Jared D.

“We were very happy with the care our dog received while we were on vacation. We got numerous pictures, and our dog seemed to be on vacation too! Thank you for taking good care of Kona!”

Angela H.

“Megan and Jacob were wonderful hosts for our rambunctious large lab pup!! He was well taken care of and played so well with their cute lab mix! They were very kind and welcoming and calm!! We will be using them again and referring our friends too. This was a trial overnight for longer stays in the future. I loved that they suggested this. Highly recommend!”

“Yvonne and her husband granted me an amazing experience of boarding my dog (Freda). It all began with a last minute trip, which required me to board Freda within 48 hours. I sent Yvonne a request based on her location and availability for the days I required. This turned into a blessing. She replied almost immediately. She offered to host Freda as long as as our initial meeting between Freda and her own dog (Quincy) went well. When I first arrived Yvonne and her husband were so welcoming. We discussed our pets and introduced ourselves - it felt more than just business of boarding my dog. This experience was different. This experience was exceptional. They showed me around the area of their home where Freda would eat and sleep. They also showed me around their beautiful fenced in yard where she could run comfortably. They also stated they only host one pet at a time and never leave the dog unattended. This put a lot of my thoughts at ease. Throughout my trip Yvonne sent me pictures and provided me updates and once again worked well with my return schedule to pick up Freda. I will definitely be using Yvonne again if she’s available as she was a wonderful host to Freda and I. Thank you.”
