Dog Sitters in Ellerslie, MD

This is a fantastic small business run by a true pet lover, with a huge fenced in yard to exercise the dogs, daily photos and kind texts, and lots of play time with the other dogs who are boarding at Mad Pawz. Truly first rate in every respect, with clear communications and fair pricing. The owners are lovely people who will love your dogs. Our family travels regularly. And as much as we love them, we can't always take our two dogs with us. A friend recommended trying Faith and her family at Mad Pawz for the very best care in the area. And our friend was right - we feel like we hit the jackpot in dog boarding.

Faith and Justin at Mad Pawz are awesome! They sent us photos and updates of our Luna everyday and even got her a pup cup for spoil your pup day! When we picked Luna up, Faith was very informative on how everything went. 10/10 recommend!!

We found Mad Pawz by chance while we were frantically looking to board our Bo right before a trip Puerto Rico. The place we normally take him was full because of course we wait until the last minute. Of course I was hesitant as he had never gone there before but I tell you what, I’m normally not a lucky person, but we hit the jackpot. Mad Pawz isn’t a typical boarding facility, it’s a home away from home. What boarding facility has ever sent you pictures of your pets every single day? Without fail, every day I received a picture of Bo and I could tell that he was so happy to be there by the look on his face. It made me smile and tear up a little every single time. He’s not sad in a kennel all day. He’s happy and playing with his new best friends! It gave me a peace of mind that you can’t really even put a price tag on. I didn’t worry about him for one second while I was gone. I only leave reviews if I am so extremely happy with something that I feel I have to tell others. If you’re looking for a HOME (not a kennel) away from home for your pets, I can’t recommend anywhere better!

You couldn't find a better place to board your furbabies than Mad Pawz! You can tell instantly it's more than a job to Faith and Justin. It's a passion, and that's what makes Mad Pawz our first choice for our pet boarding needs! Oh, and the daily pictures of our pups didn't hurt either!

Mad Pawz takes great care of my dog when I'm away, and it's been a big help with her socialization with other dogs. Prices are fair, and with their new location, the dogs have a big yard to play in.

A+++ service, friendly, pet oriented care. This is our go to pet boarding and drop in dog walking service. Price is very reasonable. Your fur baby is in good hands here!!!

It was a great atomsphere for my 2 dogs they had a blast, Mad Pawz sent me photos of them playing or laying around relaxin. They had a party and the dogs get pup cups. Thanks Mad Pawz job well done

I was very apprehensive about leaving our boy Loki with a boarding place and I’m so glad we chose Mad Pawz! He was taken such great care of and he absolutely loved it there. He was treated like one of the family and it gave us such peace of mind knowing he was doing so well! They send daily updates and photos and that was wonderful! Highly recommend this for your fur babies!

Horrible customer service from Faith. She did not check the paperwork or ask any questions prior to his first visit nor did she try to get to know him before taking him inside. We heard Faith screaming at the other dogs from the front yard when we arrived. Then she continued to tell us that she was leaving to run errands but her husband was in the yard. When we arrived for pickup, Justin was in the yard and the dogs were inside. Completely unacceptable to be paying for a sitter and he’s not being monitored especially when other dogs are present. Justin was very nice and friendly during pickup and the only positive outcome of this experience

Such an amazing dog daycare spot! My family & I went to go experience the Allegheny train ride, so we needed to drop our little fur baby for a couple hours. He had lots of fun with the other dogs and would definitely recommend it to others! Faith was super sweet and we felt very comfortable dropping our little pup.

Tina, Jamie, everyone there has always provided excellent care for our Collies. We think they love them as much as we do! The facilities are spacious and well designed. The drop off and pick up times are very convenient. Communication is seamless. They continue to add enrichment experiences, walks, play spaces, even special seasonal treats. We don’t feel any guilt when Kepler needs to stay at his Pet Resort.

We can't say enough about the amazing care our pups, Bella and King, receive at Dogwood Pet Resort. From the moment we drop them off, we know they're in the best hands. Tina and her team are absolutely wonderful. They treat our dogs like their own, and it's evident that they genuinely care about their well-being. Every time we pick up Bella and King, they're always happy, healthy, and full of energy. It's clear they've had a blast during their stay. We trust Dogwood Pet Resort completely and highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for a place to board!

Fantastic experience for our Zuzu! We used Dogwood for 3 separate vacations this summer and couldn’t give them higher praise. Tina and everyone there truly love their jobs and our fur babies. The additions they have offered now such as nature walks and playtime in the yard kept her very active and content. She was always clean and happy every time we’ve picked her up. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality care for their pups. She even gave us updates and pictures 😊.

Staff is great with my dog, Kenji, and he seems very happy there. He's always excited when he goes there, which is a good thing. When I take Kenji to Dogwood, our drive is an hour and some. Because of how my dog is treated, I will keep driving that far when I need to board him again.

First time we took our dog there, we had the best experience. He was only there 5 days the first time. However, our second experience was not the best. He came home with a chewed harness, broken leash, and smelled like dog/cat pee. After spending $150more dollars to replace everything that was broken and on a grooming appointment, he’s finally back to the same self. His behavior has changed drastically. He does not listen to his basic commands and is chewing everything insight, including our brand new carpet. I really hat to give poor reviews to any business because the worked were so kind and informative when dropping and picking our dog up. I just hope this was one bad experience.

Our baby boy loves your place. My husband and I never worry when he’s with you. You can tell that you love him as if he was your own. Your place is always so clean, the entire staff is friendly and helpful… you have us forever 🥰🥰 …

We had a fantastic experience with Dogwood Pet Resort! The staff was friendly, the facilities were clean, and our dog came back happy and well-cared for. AND the nature walks are a plus. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and loving place to board their furry friend.

Tina and Tony are great pet people. They take time to go over all of ur concerns and make sure ur dog is as happy and taken care of as best as any dog kennel I have ever seen. There employees Jamie and Benett are also very willing to listen to your pet concerns and make sure you feel good leaving ur fur baby with them. Our dog loves to stay there and we can tell when we pick him up he is happy as he was when we dropped him off. Our dog will stay there moving forward and I'm glad we found such a great place to take care of our furry friend.

My daughter took my grandog to Dogwood pet resort for a day out of the house and she came back the happiest we've ever seen her! They bathed her, blew her coat (Husky), clipped her nails and played her little heart out. She can't wait to go back for another day out of the house and to explore the new play yard ❤️

My dog is always eager to go and happy when I pick him up. The staff are amazingly wonderful. The beautiful wooded site makes it marvelous for his daily walks. Saxon gives it 5 woofs!

a perfect place to bring your pets if you are going on vacation or just need a day to yourself. the staff is wonderful and super friendly.

They have watched our cats twice now and I'm very happy with them. My cats seemed very happy there when I came to pick them up. Their staff are always very friendly and helpful.

My dogs are always treated so good here. Very clean facility and friendly, caring staff.

Absolutely the best kennel for pets that I have ever used and my wife and I have lived in multiple states!! They are so professional and my dog gets excited about going there. I have never had any issue regarding fleas and ticks there, unlike other boarding places. Their prices are reasonable and I like their grooming services.

Happy Tails is the absolute best boarding and grooming place. We’ve taken our lab, Captain, here for more than 4 years. The kennels are clean and staff are over the top friendly! Highly recommend!

We absolutely LOVE this place. When we bring our fur baby here, we do not exist once he steps in the door. He looks forward to coming here and is always happy which makes us happy. 😁 …

These people are absolutely the BEST!!!! They treat every single dog like family!! Dale & his wife are so sweet/ loving & patient...really good folks. I always feel good about leaving my dogs here & am confident they are in good hands when I'm gone. Both my guys were there today getting groomed & they look awesome! Can't thank Happy Tails enough for always doing an amazing job! Love this place!💖🐩

Love this place for my pets. They take such good care of them. I worried at first cause I never leave them but they did wonderful. The grooming was great my dogs smelled good for a month.

Happy Tails did a great job taking care of our two dogs recently. Will definitely go back. Very convenient drop off and pick up times too.

First visit this week great team, and easy to work with. What peace of mind we had on Vacation. We were able to call to check on Tank. If they did not answer they gave a call back quickly and the price was great for there quality service. We highly recommend if you need someone to look after your fur baby. Thanks Dale and everyone at Happy Tails. You all did great.

Jessica and Kevin are the very best caretakers for your pet. My dog Pinky warmed up to them faster than she’s warmed up to any sitters, including my own family members! This is because they showered her with true kindness and even love. They were great to work with - very accommodating and sent updates. They will welcome your pet into their family, and I am so happy we found them. Highly recommend & we will use again.

Jess and Kevin were able to watch our dogs on a last minute trip for us. The pups were so happy and content being there. It was obvious how well they were taking care of. Only 30 minutes from Oakland. We will definitely use their services again. Thank you both!
