Award Winning Dog Boarding, Daycare,
& Grooming in Maryland
Over 20 years ago, co-owners and co-founders Kelly and Pat Cullum recognized a gap in dog care and opened the first brick-and-mortar dog daycare and boarding resort in the Joppa, Maryland area. Today, they’ve expanded with a second location in Cockeysville, Maryland, employing over 80 dedicated team members across the two resorts.
From day one, Best Friends Fur Ever has been committed to giving back to the community, supporting causes like animal welfare, youth development, addiction recovery, and the philanthropic passions of their customers.
In 2025, Best Friends Fur Ever earned multiple high-profile honors, including:
-
Top Women-Owned Business by The Daily Record
-
Harford County’s Best Doggy Boarding by The Baltimore Sun
-
Top Place to Work by Homebase
-
And Kelly was named one of The Daily Record’s Top 100 Women
Looking ahead, Best Friends Fur Ever is evolving to meet the needs of today’s pet parents—creating personalized care for every dog instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. Kelly and Pat continue to lead with purpose and passion, welcoming forward-thinking talent to design innovative programs, introduce new services, hire passionate pet people, and shape the future of how dogs experience care, play, and connection.
