Dog boarding in Fells Point, Baltimore
Doggy Hotel is overnight boarding in our Fells Point home — a calm house instead of a kennel. Your dog sleeps in a real bed, keeps their usual routine, and you get photo updates every day they're with us.
Pay by card online, or on our card reader at drop-off.
A home, not a kennel
Private sleeping space, never crated unless your dog prefers it, and a low dog-to-caretaker ratio.
Their routine, kept
Meals on your dog's usual schedule with the food you bring, plus supervised outdoor time and play.
You're never wondering

Good to know
- What to bring
- Your dog's food is required — we keep them on their usual diet. Medications if they need them. A bed and toys are optional (we have plenty), but you're welcome to bring their own if it helps them settle.
- Drop-off & pick-up
- We're flexible — arrange any time that works when you book. Late pick-ups outside the agreed window may incur an additional charge, though we're often flexible — just let us know.
- Payment
- Pay by card online when you book, or choose Pay at drop-off and we'll take your card on our card reader when you arrive. Either way, your receipt arrives by email.
- Cancellations
- Cancel online any time before drop-off. At least 48 hours before, anything you paid becomes account credit for your next booking (it never expires). Less than 48 hours before, message us and we'll look at it case by case — and we're always glad to move your dates instead.

Questions
What dog care services do you offer in Baltimore?
Three services: Doggy Hotel overnight boarding and Joyful Daycare, both in our private Fells Point home (not a commercial kennel), plus one-on-one dog walking with pickup and drop-off. Every dog gets personal attention with a low dog-to-caretaker ratio.
How much does dog boarding or daycare cost?
Boarding is priced per night per dog, daycare per day, and walks per walk. Current prices are always shown on our booking page, and you see the full total before you confirm. Stays of 7+ nights may be eligible for a discount — just ask.
Is my dog safe during boarding?
Your dog stays in our home, not a facility with dozens of other dogs. We keep a low dog-to-caretaker ratio, never crate as a substitute for supervision, require up-to-date vaccines for every guest, and send photo updates throughout each stay.
What vaccines and requirements do you have?
Dogs must be up to date on rabies, distemper and Bordetella (records are checked at drop-off), free of fleas and ticks, and non-aggressive with people and other animals. All breeds and sizes are welcome, and puppies from 16 weeks.
What should I bring for boarding?
Your dog's regular food (we keep them on their usual diet) and any medications. Beds and toys are optional — we have plenty — but a familiar item can help some dogs settle.
Will I get updates while my dog is with you?
Yes — photos and updates arrive in your BluePawSky account throughout the stay, daycare days include a daily report, and you can message us anytime from your reservation.
