Choose Your Dog’s Day. Choose Their Perfect Place to Stay.
No two dogs are alike, so why should every boarding stay look the same?
At Best Friends Fur Ever, you’ll personalize both your dog’s daytime experience and their overnight accommodations.
Step 1: Choose Their Day
Every boarding guest participates in the daytime program that’s the best fit for their personality and needs.
- Social Play – Supervised playgroups for dogs who love making friends.
- Play My Way – Personalized one-on-one enrichment for dogs who prefer people, independent activities, or a customized schedule.
- Assisted Canine Care – A calmer, slower-paced experience for senior dogs and guests who benefit from extra support.
- Assisted Canine Care+ – Specialized care for medically stable dogs needing additional wellness support. Available exclusively at our Cockeysville Resort. Coming soon to Joppa.

We know you’ve got options. A pet sitter. A neighbor. Family. Maybe someone stopping by to refill the food bowl.
But overnight care is about more than checking a box.
It’s about having a team who knows your dog by name. Who notices the little things. Who celebrates the zoomies, comforts the nervous moments, and keeps you connected every step of the way.
Whether your dog loves playing with friends, prefers personalized adventures, enjoys a slower pace, or curls up in one of our premium suites, we’ll create an overnight experience designed just for them—because every dog deserves more than a place to stay. They deserve a place where they belong.
Our Social Boarding program combines overnight comfort with plenty of supervised fun. Every overnight guest enjoys two additional play rotations—one in the morning and one in the evening—plus 24/7 onsite supervision. Watch your dog enjoy their day through our live play yard cameras, then tuck in for the night with our signature Turn-Down Service, complete with a cozy blanket and bedtime treat.

For dogs who prefer a more personalized experience, Play My Way offers an overnight stay built around their individual personality, interests, and comfort level.
Whether your dog enjoys a little social time on their own terms, prefers people over playgroups, is building confidence, or simply loves one-on-one attention, every day is thoughtfully tailored to them. Their schedule may include personalized enrichment, outdoor adventures, puzzle games, cuddle time, training games, or carefully selected social interactions, along with plenty of quiet breaks to rest and recharge.
Between activities, each Play My Way guest relaxes in their own spacious private kennel accommodation. Families are welcome to bring familiar comforts from home—such as a favorite blanket, bed, or toy to help make their stay feel even more comfortable and familiar.
Looking for a little extra luxury? Play My Way guests can also upgrade to one of our Luxury Suites or Petite Suites, complete with in-suite webcams and additional comforts, for an even more personalized overnight experience.
Just like every dog at Best Friends Fur Ever, Play My Way guests benefit from 24/7 onsite supervision and a team that truly knows them. We learn their routines, celebrate what they love, notice the little things, and create an experience that feels safe, engaging, and comforting from morning until bedtime.
Daily Report Card Included
Every Play My Way overnight guest receives a personalized daily update with photos from their day, plus observations about meals, water intake, enrichment, behavior, bathroom habits, energy level, and overall well-being.

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 Promise
Most visits are filled with happy play, wagging tails, and lots of fun. But if your dog isn’t feeling their best or we notice something out of the ordinary, you can count on us to respond promptly, communicate clearly, and keep your dog’s comfort and safety at the center of every decision.
We Keep You Informed Every Step of the Way
Observation & Updates
If we notice a minor concern that doesn’t require immediate veterinary care, we’ll closely monitor your dog, document our observations, and communicate with you through a report card, phone call, text, or at pickup—depending on the situation.
Veterinary Recommendation
If we believe your dog should be evaluated by a veterinarian the same day, we’ll remove them from their regular activities, contact you immediately, explain what we’ve observed, and work with you to determine the best next steps.
Emergency Care
If your dog requires immediate emergency veterinary attention, we’ll transport them to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital without delay while contacting you and keeping you informed throughout the process.
Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being—and your peace of mind—are at the heart of everything we do. We’ll never leave you wondering how your dog is doing or what happens next.

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!!. 💕🐾😊
