Exciting Activities for an Unforgettable Dog Boarding Experience

We firmly believe that every dog is unique, with their own set of needs and preferences. That’s why we confidently encourage you to select the optimal blend of exercise, enrichment, and socialization for your cherished companion. A well-structured activity routine ensures that your dog’s mind and body remain consistently engaged and invigorated throughout their stay at our dog boarding facility.

Each play session is tailored to your dog’s unique preferences, whether they love a game of fetch, enjoy plenty of belly rubs, or like to splash in the pools. They’ll receive all the attention they desire!

What vaccinations are necessary?

For the health and safety of all our guests, proof of immunization is required for rabies, Bordetella, distemper, and canine influenza.

Can I tour the resort?

We’d be delighted to show you our pet resort! Feel free to stop by during our operating hours for a guided tour.

Should I bring my dog’s food?

To ensure your pet maintains their usual diet, we recommend bringing their own food, appropriately bagged and labeled in individual servings. We also offer Iams Minichunks for a small additional fee.

What about bedding?

A cozy raised bed is available for your pet’s comfort, so we kindly request that you leave their bedding at home.

I have multiple dogs, can they stay together?

Our suites are designed to provide ample space for most doggie siblings to relax together; however, exceptionally large pets or those with specific feeding and medication needs may require individual accommodations. Please reach out to us to explore how we can best support your furry family.

About Annapolis, MD

Annapolis is the capital of the state of Maryland. It is the county seat of Anne Arundel County and its only incorporated city. Situated on the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Severn River, 25 miles south of Baltimore and about 30 miles east of Washington, D.C., Annapolis forms part of the Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area. The 2020 census recorded its population as 40,812, an increase of 6.3% since 2010.

17th-century Annapolis was little more than a village, but it grew rapidly for most of the 18th century until the American Revolutionary War as a political and administrative capital, a port of entry, and a major center of the Atlantic slave trade. However, this growth declined rapidly after Baltimore, with its deeper harbor, was designated as a port of entry in 1780. Water trades such as oyster-packing, boatbuilding, and sailmaking became the city’s chief industries.

It served as the seat of the Confederation Congress, formerly the Second Continental Congress, and the temporary national capital of the United States from 1783 to 1784. At that time, General George Washington came before the body convened in the new Maryland State House and resigned his commission as commander of the Continental Army. A month later, the Congress ratified the Treaty of Paris of 1783, ending the American Revolutionary War, with Great Britain recognizing the independence of the United States.

The Maryland State House is the oldest continuously used legislative building in the United States. Construction started in 1772, and the Maryland legislature first met there in 1779. It is topped by the largest wooden dome built without nails in the country. The United States Naval Academy was founded in 1845 on the site of Fort Severn and now occupies an area of land reclaimed from the Severn River.
