And when your dog stays overnight, our team is onsite 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Daycare, Boarding and Care That Can Change With Your Dog
Dogs change throughout their lives. Their energy, social preferences, mobility and support needs can change, too.
That’s why BFFE Joppa offers more than one way to spend the day and more than one way to stay overnight.
A dog who thrives in Social Play may love spending the day with canine friends. Another may prefer the individualized enrichment of Play My Way. A senior or differently abled dog may benefit from the quieter pace and additional support of Assisted Canine Care.
Your dog doesn’t have to fit one model of care. Their care should fit them.

Find the Right Kind of Care
Social Play + Boarding
For dogs who love canine friends.
Social dogs enjoy supervised play with carefully matched companions, outdoor activity and structured rest. Staying overnight? Social Boarding lets dogs continue their familiar Social Play routine during their stay.
Play My Way Daycare + Boarding
For dogs who prefer to do their own thing.
Play My Way offers individualized activities such as sniffing, puzzles, fetch, scent work, cuddle time and outdoor adventures without requiring participation in a large playgroup.
Available for both daycare and overnight stays, Play My Way gives dogs another option when Social Play isn’t their thing.
Assisted Canine Care Daycare + Boarding
For senior, aging and differently abled dogs who need a little more support.
Assisted Canine Care provides a quieter pace, gentle enrichment, comfortable crate-free rest, mobility assistance, routine medication support and additional hands-on attention.

Why Joppa Pet Parents Choose Best Friends Fur Ever
Joppa is a dog town at heart — weekends mean loading up for Mariner Point Park or the trails through Gunpowder Falls State Park — so pet parents here want somewhere that matches that active, outdoor-loving lifestyle, not just a place to drop their dog off. That’s what brings Joppa and Joppatowne families to Best Friends Fur Ever for boarding and daycare: real playtime, real attention, and a routine that feels like an extension of the neighborhood they already love, which is why they keep coming back every time they need care. It’s the kind of trust that only builds when a facility understands the community it serves — the waterfront walks, the weekend park trips, the dogs who’d rather be outside than cooped up. For Joppa’s pet parents, that local understanding is what turns a boarding or daycare stay into peace of mind.
