Stella has a lovely home and a beautiful backyard to relax in. Her location is perfect being only a few blocks from the beach and a short walk to the shops. The star attraction however is Suzie. She was affectionate and trusting of us from the get-go. She has an endearing way of running to her toy basket to pick out the perfect toy to bring on each walk. She liked to follow us about the house and yard. So easy to fall in love with Suzie! We thoroughly enjoyed our week here. Thank you Stella!
Gordon and Clive are an adorable pair - big boys that are quite gentle but can be quite strong when walking due to their size. Binkie also likes a cuddle but will often wander off and do her own thing around the house. Jane's house is in a little holiday town so there isn't a lot there in the way of shops - this was a plus for us as we love the peace and tranquility of the country and coast and it makes for nice quiet streets to walk the boys around. We also had an echidna encounter while there so wildlife is in abundance as well. We had a fantastic time house sitting for Jane and would absolutely do it again if the opportunity arises!
I had a lovely time in the Cotswolds with the gang, Ludo, Hugo and Freddie. Charlie was easy to communicate with and very laid back. Hugo was a very easy-going dog who trotted along beside you on walks. Ludo was a ball of energy who was great fun and always up for long walks - it was impossible to wear him out! Freddie was Mr Independent but warmed up during the week and even came on a few walks with me. Nice, relaxing week with walks from your doorstep so the dogs were safe to run free.
Ben and Mary were so great, they were so informative and made us feel so welcome in their beautiful home. Pumpkin and Pickle are just the sweetest cats, absolutely no trouble and such sweet boys. We had such a magic Christmas, thanks so much.
Coco was the cutest and most cuddly pup!! She was amazing off leash and the park within the neighbourhood was perfect for her. She’s also great in the car which allowed us to take her out for adventures:) Mary and her family are the sweetest people and really make you feel at home. If you ever get the chance to housesit with Coco, definitely take it!!
I’m very grateful for the opportunity to take care of Beauty Bentley, Luna and Sugar Gliders, they are amazingly beautiful, full of love dogs, they love to go for walks, play, cuddle and they are so lovable. Sonal’s home is so nice, with an amazing view, located in a very calm neighborhood. Sonal was very responsive and attentive with a requests and needs. I really recommend if you are thinking on taking care of this beauty home and pets, to do so. Thank you very much Sonal!

My Great Pyrenees LOVES going here, and they are always excited to see her too which I love. We board her overnight while we are on vacation, and she always comes home clean from a bath and exhausted from playtime with other dogs. We would send her here more often if they provided pickup/drop-off, but as it is they are great for vacations. Five stars!!
Ziggy (currently 9m old) grew up at Happy Dog and we are so sad we no longer live 10 min away! Not only did he come home exhausted every time we brought him (sleeping most of the next day and saving our sanity), but the older dogs also taught Ziggy play etiquette and how to get along with dogs of all types and temperaments. (I also have the suspicion that they helped potty train him.) Plus, the staff are wonderful and you can see their love for the pups. Ziggy would not be the dog he is today without Happy Dog! We truly love and miss this place ❤️
Pictured here is our dog Dolly for the 48 hours after coming home from Happy Dog. Backstory: Our friends told us about this daycare/boarding location after we were lamenting the fact that places like PetSmart and other daycares and boarding services wouldn’t take Dolly because she has some American Staffordshire Terrier in her mix, or they would keep her in a room by herself the whole time. Happy Dog welcomed Dolly with open arms and I appreciate how they approach each dog individually to see how they interact with the pack. Dolly has learned a lot from the staff about how to play with her friends without getting too excited and rough. It’s clear all the dogs in their care are well-loved and cared for. Happy Dog really lives up to its name.
This is a great place for our 4 legged kids, my young boy is a big dog but gets anxious when he is away from us. The staff here understands his personality and takes care of him accordingly. We settled here after trying a few places in the neighborhood. They are all very friendly and always greet us with a smile.
I have been taking my dog there for about a month and he’s always excited to go every morning! The staff there treats him like he’s their own and he loves them. They do a wonderful job taking care of my pup
If I could give more than 5 stars I would! A few months ago I rescued a dog that we later found it did not do well left alone while we were at work. Happy Dog Care are been a lifesaver! We use them 2-3 times a week and our beagle has been so happy! His behavior has improved, and he LOVES getting to see all of his dog and people friends there. The staff is wonderful and really gets to know all of the dogs. I love that they do picture days, celebrate dog's birthdays, and will give you plenty of updates about how your dog is doing. The only reason we are leaving is because we are moving across the country. Our new day care will have a very big shoes to fill!
100% recommend Happy Dog Care!! The staff loves my dog so much and it really shows. It's a great feeling to be able to leave your dog somewhere you completely trust. We've done boarding as well and have never had any problems. I'm thankful to all the staff!
Love this place! I have tried out multiple daycares for my dog and the difference in our experience with Happy Dog Care vs the others is night and day. Marcel is super excited when he goes to them and comes back completely exhausted after all the fun he has had!
I am so thankful for Happy Dog! I started taking my two dogs here when one was about 5 months old and full of energy, and she absolutely loved it. She is now 5 years old and still loves her days at Happy Dog! My other dog is a grump and doesn't usually like other dogs (or people), and even she pulls me through the door when we get there! The staff are wonderful and truly care about the dogs and treat them with so much love.
My dog has been attending day care as well as boarding at Happy Dog for over 8 years. He loves going to Happy Dog and the staff consistently provide kind and gentle care. Julie and her staff know canines and they supervise, feed, walk, and provide loving companionship to all the pups. When I have to travel or be away from home, I have no worries at all about my beloved dog being in their care. Dogs can crate overnight or be open; there are rooms for small dogs and plenty of play areas and equipment. It is super clean. They also can provide grooming if pre-arranged. I can't say enough positive things about this wonderful small business where my pup and I have made many human and canine friends over the years!!
Outstanding service!! After several trials with others, we finally came home from vacation to HAPPY dogs, cat, and aquariums!! Highly, highly recommend.
I hate to do this but it’s the experience we had. I’ve only used them a couple of times and had a weird vibe but I thought it was me being a protective dog owner. The last time we went, my very socialized dog, did not want to go in and was pulling me out the gate. What in the world?! He doesn’t even do that at the vet which he’s definitely not a fan of. I’ve never seen dogs playing outside or at the yard fence barking but I hear them barking non stop inside. The last time I went to pick my dog up, the owner was in his home and not in the dog building. I would think the dogs would need supervision at all times. Lastly, the owner used one of their leashes to bring my dog out and my dog freaked out when I tried to use it the next day. He pulled away and refused to let me put it on him to walk in our house. After this last time, I shared my experience with another dog owner friend whom I learned used them and experienced something similar and never went back. I’m trusting my gut and my dog’s reaction and will not be using them again. The price seems too good to be true.
Great people who take great care of your dogs. Their passion for animal care and friendly service shone through. And they care about you and your pet and not just as a customer. You would be hard pressed to find a better doggie day care.
Great family run business, our dog is very happy there. Great secluded location. Quiet. Gem of a place. They do not advertise much, it’s mostly word-of-mouth. So happy this is a hidden gem!
Brought our pup, Charlie, here for the first time, and he loved it there. He is a smaller pup, and this place truly catered to his needs. If your pup is smaller than most, more timid, more clingy to people, etc. they will do what needs to get done to make sure your pup is a comfortable as they can be. We will definitely be bringing our pup Charlie back when we go away again! Great place.
Great and affordable dog care in Ellicott city area. Dog likes the open field area and always returns happy
My dogs were happy and tired when I picked them up. Great experience and will definitely use their day care services for dogs again soon!
We just completed our first boarding of our frisky little pup. He has been a regular daycare student for over a year. If you want quality, safe, affordable, family style care for your dog this is the place. It took all the stress away while I was in the hospital a few days. Our pup is always happy to be dropped off at this doggy play palace. I would rate them a ten but I think five stars is the best. Keith M
Hands down the very best pet day care/boarding in the area. The staff quality beats any petsmart, vet, kennel, or other big dog camps in the area. Shaun is a dog whisperer who magically helps my dog feel at ease and comfortable. She is always happy and fit whenever I pick her up from the day care. My dog always seems so happy to have spent her days here.. This is a family owned, local business and I am so lucky to have the folks at Furry Friends Farm doing what they do. This place a hidden gem and I will leave my dog with them any time, any day!
Stacy and Shaun are always been flexible, responsive and helpful with us when we needed our dogs to be at the daycare. Having said that, the most We love about this daycare is that we don’t need to worry or rush to pick them up. They have late pick up hours for convenience. Thank you!
My dogs absolutely love coming here to this facility. And every single person that works here treats my dogs like family. They get so excited to get out of my truck to see everyone and play with the other dogs. I will never take my dogs anywhere else! This is the best facility I have ever been to.
