This place is the Ritz. My 18 year old dog sprints around like a puppy after staying here- he loves it. Highly recommend.
Edited: A year and a half in and he still loves it. They're friendly and helpful and communicative- 10/10 would recommend. Yes, it's expensive, but most places out here are and offer signficantly worse care.

A week long retreat cost me $1000 for 2 dogs. My dogs appeared to have had a great time and the staff legit seemed to love animals. The facility is nice and cozy, I liked the fact that they have web cams up so you can check in on the 4 legged family members. They lost a star when my 2 dogs came home with kennel cough and diarrhea however. That was another fun vet bill!

Our little Yorki-Poo-Chi loves staying at Dogwood Acres. He hasn't mentioned anything he'd like to see changed. The staff are all super friendly, and the rates are very reasonable for what he receives.

Around 2017 was the first time we used Dogwood Acres(Davidsonville). We took our 2 cats for a little over a week long boarding. Katniss and Torie. Torrie was still a kitten. The staff were great with my kitties. I figured they would be since Torie was still a kitten....lol. Seriously though, I loved the updates about how they were doing while we were so far away. I also appreciated the tour of the cat area so I could see where they would be. This year (2023) we used the Stevensville location for our new puppy when a family member passed. Davidsonville didn't have any openings and it was really short notice. They fit us in within 48 hours. The staff was absolutely incredible. Super sweet, patient because Dude (yes, that's our pups name...lol) wasn't to sure about the strange people trying to take him away from me. I had to extend his visit once we were able to schedule the funeral, and one more time when I realized my mom needed me a little longer. We didn't pack enough food for the second extension, but they offered their food. Huge relief. When we got there to pick him up he acted like he didn't want to leave. It made my heart happy since I had just gone through such a tough time, and I felt guilty for extending his time. I've used them twice since then and as soon as he sees where we are he gets excited. We recently had a pet event at my work and Dogwood Acres donated items to put in our "doggy bags" for customers. I made sure to tell everyone that had never heard of them about my experience. Thank you so much for making my pup's stay there a good one. I will always recommend you guys.

Dogwood Acres came recommended by some friends of ours who used to run their own kennel, so I figured it had to be a decent place to leave our dog for the weekend… Well I’m happy to report our friends gave us good advice, since we had a very positive experience at Dogwood Acres! Our 9-year old golden doodle, Duncan, boarded there for the first time this past weekend. All of the staff were uber friendly and attentive to the needs of both dog and human during Duncan's stay. And as any pet owner can attest, you can tell a lot about the way your pet was treated by how they behave when they return home. Duncan was 100% himself after I picked him up (even down to his #2s!), and settled right back in at home, just like he hadn’t been away. Many thanks to the staff at Dogwood Acres for taking such good care of our dear Duncan.

I have been using Dogwood Acres for years now...my new GSD ~ Dakota ~ is a frequent-guest there! Absolutely love this place and both my GSDs get so excited as we drive into the parking lots at both locations in Davidsonville and Kent Island which tells me that they both also love it here! The prices can be steep especially in this recession inflation market we all are in but the value and security knowing my GSD ~ Dakota ~ is in great care makes it all worth it!

Only place I will board our dog. Nice facility and excellent staff. Also have used for day care and although a bit costly definitely worth knowing he is well cared for.

We visited and researched many boarding facilities before leaving our 7 pound dog anywhere overnight. Unlike many of the other facilities that we toured, Dogwood Acres was clean, well staffed, and clearly cares about their animals. The staff was friendly and answered all questions even when we were away. We recently picked up our dog from his first stay and he seemed happy and adjusted which is amazing! Only comment I had was that I payed to have a basic bath package upon pickup and it was clear they hadn’t really brushed him or blown him dry. He was still wet and had knots in his fur. Maybe I misunderstood the package, but I did expect at least a blowdry and brush for the price.

We left our boy for 9 days. We loved that we could watch Teddy every day on the web cam. He was obviously having a wonderful time. He was happy to see us, but not overly so, so he must have enjoyed his stay! He fell asleep almost immediately, so relaxed, tired, and happy. We will definitely use them for our boarding in the future.

My senior cat always gets reliable care here and it’s great to have that peace of mind when we’re away traveling.
