Peace of mind for you. The best sleepover ever for your dog.
Spanning 10,000 and 20,000 square feet, our state-of-the-art resorts far exceed industry standards. Every detail is intentional, so your dog enjoys the very best:
Expansive Indoor & Outdoor Play Areas – Room to run, explore, and play in all seasons
Climate-Controlled Comfort – Cool in summer, cozy in winter
Backup Generators – Uninterrupted care, no matter the weather
ThunderShirts & Comfort Tools – Calming solutions for anxious pups
Personalized Report Cards – Updates on activities, behavior, and well-being
Playtime Camera Access – Watch your pup’s fun from anywhere
24/7 Onsite Supervision – Compassionate care, day and night, 365 days a year
We know you’ve got options. An app. A favor. A neighbor swinging by. Even a “sorta dog person” or a well-meaning family member.
But those are sometimes solutions.
We’re here for the always. The constant. The care team who sees it all—who notices a change and speaks up. Your personal pup-arazzi when you can’t be. We are dog people through and through—the ones who are present for the play, the specialized care, and the joy your dog deserves every single day.
Whether your dog is a social butterfly, prefers a quieter pace, needs extra TLC, or loves a little luxury, we have the perfect overnight experience.
Our overnight boarding offers our social program dogs a comfortable stay in a resort-like atmosphere with 24/7 onsite supervision.
Social Overnighters enjoy two extra play rotations—one in the morning and one in the evening—plus snuggle time with our staff before it’s time for bed.
For dogs who enjoy a little social time but on their own terms. Days are tailored to your pup’s comfort—smaller group play sessions, one-on-one enrichment, and plenty of quiet breaks to recharge.
Each Play My Way guest has their own private kennel run, giving them a cozy personal space to relax between activities. These runs also have room to store household items you bring from home—their favorite blanket, bed, or toys—so they’re surrounded by the familiar comforts they love.
Play My Way Overnighters get the always—the same caring eyes, gentle hands, and dedicated attention every day and night. The kind of care that keeps your pup happy, comfortable, and truly at home while you’re away.

We specialize in caring for special needs pets, including seniors, and differently-abled dogs. We know every dog is unique, and that traditional daycare or boarding environments may not always be the best fit for aging or special needs pets. That’s why we created Assisted Canine Care (ACC)—an overnight experience designed for comfort, safety, and personalized attention, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re apart.
Calm & Comfortable Spaces Our ACC boarding areas are thoughtfully designed for relaxation and low stress:
Extra bedding for cozy, joint-friendly rest
Gentle, soothing music from Zoundz Music for Pets
Spacious, crate-free environments with plenty of room to move
Ramps for outdoor access, so pets with mobility challenges can still enjoy fresh air and sunshine without strain
Personalized Care Each ACC guest is paired with a dedicated full-time attendant who provides one-on-one attention day and night. We follow your pet’s home routines or veterinarian-prescribed instructions to ensure consistency and comfort.
Specialized Support Our trained staff can administer medications (including insulin), accommodate special diets, and follow specific feeding schedules—making sure your pet’s needs are met with care and precision.
From peaceful nights to gentle morning routines, ACC Overnighters offer a safe, loving space for pets who need extra care, without missing out on the warmth and joy of being part of our resort family.
For pups who deserve the VIP treatment, our Lux Suites offer an upscale overnight experience tailored for single dogs or siblings.
Each private suite includes a secure window view for natural light and mental stimulation, a television for entertainment, and 24/7 camera access so you can check in anytime and see your best friend enjoying their stay.
Lux Suites are designed for ultimate comfort and privacy while still giving your dog access to our enriching activities and the same around-the-clock supervision as all our guests.
Available exclusively at our Cockeysville location.
During the day, Lux Suite guests participate in the daycare program that best suits their personality—whether that’s our high-energy Social Groups, our balanced Play My Way program, or the gentle pace of Assisted Canine Care. This means they enjoy hours of safe, supervised play before settling into their own private retreat at night.
We’re not just dog people. We’re loving professionals who do right by the voiceless—day, night, and holidays.
Our Highlights:
Our team is PackPro certified, Basic First Aid & CPR trained, and emergency vet connected.
We understand what your dog can’t put into words. We provide emotionally intelligent care that catches what others miss, a limp, a behavioral shift, a skipped meal and we speak up and provide solutions.
We know them like you do. Cuddle on Christmas. Puzzle time with Milo. Knowing Reggie needs his brother to nap—we live for the little things.
We enforce a strict no-phone policy so our team’s focus stays on your dog. Only approved devices are used to send report cards through the Gingr Pet Parent app.
And yes, we’re here for you and your pup 24/7, 365 days a year.
Our Communication & Care Escalation Promise
While most visits are full of tail wags and happy play, we’re prepared for anything. If your dog has an off day—whether it’s a sudden health concern, unusual behavior, or an incident—we act quickly, keep you informed, and escalate when needed.
Monitor & Update – For minor concerns that don’t require a vet visit, we’ll keep a close eye on your dog, document in their report card, and update you at pickup (or sooner if things change).
Urgent Vet Care – For situations that require same-day veterinary attention but your dog is okay to wait, we’ll remove them from their care program, call you immediately, and provide all details so you can take them to your vet or we can come up with a plan for next steps.
Emergency Transport – For serious concerns, we’ll transport your dog to the ER vet immediately, call you on the way, and stay in contact until you have a full update.
Your dog’s safety and your peace of mind are our top priorities—we’ll never leave you guessing.
We’re so glad we found best friends! We’ve boarded our dog several times. We love receiving the report cards and seeing our pup play during the day. Best friends is always flexible, kind, and accommodating to any needs or meds. We know he is in good hands and enjoys his stay each time!

Found BFFE when we inherited a geriatric pup who needed care and had never been boarded. They are a fantastic resource for all ages of dogs. Currently board our 5 year old pup occasionally, and take advantage of some daycare days.

Great people with a good facility. Definitely worth paying the extra for one on one attention, but dogs certainly get lots of love there. I don’t need to hesitate when going on a trip – he can stay there and be well taken care of. Definitely recommended.

Bella returned today from a nearly two week stay at Best Friends FurEver. I knew she was in great hands from her posted photos. For a small dog she ate well as she did not loose any weight. She is always excited to hear she will be going to Best Friends!

Absolutely EXCEPTIONAL care for my little dog, Max!! Positive experiences from start to finish,. Streamlined Intake process. Variety of drop off times allowed me to meet tight departure deadlines. Trainer engaged Max upon drop off, making it so much easier for me emotionally to leave him. I knew he’d be in good hands.
The staff identified a medical issue with Max. In an expedient fashion, they notified me and promptly ensured he received required medical care from our vet! I wasn’t panicked, as I received regular updates via phone calls/Care portal. In addition, I could call directly to get updates (even unusually hours). It was comforting to receive periodic pix of him, often snuggling with staff, trainers and/or the owner!
As with many pet owners, I’m extremely attached to Max. Leaving him in others’ care is especially difficult since his cancer diagnosis several years ago. As such, I am VERY particular about his care. He receives the premium care from the loving, capable staff at Best Friends Fur Ever. BIG THANKS for all you do to care for my special little canine family member!!. 💕🐾😊
