Why Harford County Families Choose Best Friends Fur Ever
Different Dogs. Different Needs. The Right Care for Yours.
Not every dog loves group play. Some prefer one-on-one attention, need extra support as they age, or haven’t been spayed or neutered. At Best Friends Fur Ever, we offer care options designed around your dog’s individual needs.
What makes our Joppa resort different?
- 24/7 Onsite Care: Experienced caregivers are here day and night, including weekends and holidays.
- Three Care Programs: From supervised Social Play to individualized Play My Way enrichment and Assisted Canine Care for senior dogs and dogs with special needs.
- Unspayed & Unneutered Dogs Welcome: Spaying or neutering is not required to attend BFFE. Dogs over 7 months who are not spayed or neutered participate in Play My Way.
- Personalized Play & Rest: Indoor and outdoor activity, enrichment, sibling play, and structured rest based on your dog’s needs.
- 10,000+ Square Feet of Care: Indoor and outdoor spaces for supervised play, individualized attention, and fresh-air activities.
- Overnight Boarding That Fits: Standard overnight accommodations paired with the care program that best meets your dog’s needs.
Your dog doesn’t have to fit into one routine. We help find the right one for them.

Let’s Talk
Reach out to schedule a call to discuss overnight guest accommodations and our daycare program.
Do you offer both dog daycare and dog boarding at BFFE Joppa?
Yes. BFFE Joppa offers both daycare and overnight boarding, with different care options based on your dog’s personality, social preferences, age and needs. Dogs may enjoy Social Play, individualized care through Play My Way, or additional support through Assisted Canine Care.
Is someone onsite overnight when dogs board at BFFE Joppa?
Yes. Our team is onsite 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including overnight. Your dog is never left alone in the building overnight.
What if my dog doesn’t enjoy large-group play?
Not every dog does. Play My Way offers an individualized alternative with one-on-one attention, enrichment, outdoor activity and carefully selected social opportunities without requiring participation in a large playgroup.
Do you offer daycare and boarding for senior dogs?
Yes. Assisted Canine Care at BFFE Joppa provides specialized daycare and overnight boarding for senior, aging and differently abled dogs who benefit from a quieter pace and additional hands-on support.
Does my dog need a temperament evaluation?
Dogs joining Social Play complete an evaluation before participating in group play. Play My Way does not require a Social Play temperament evaluation, giving dogs another option when large-group play isn’t the right fit.
Do you offer dog daycare and boarding near Bel Air?
Yes. BFFE Joppa serves families throughout Harford County, including Bel Air, Abingdon, Edgewood, Aberdeen, Fallston and surrounding communities. Our Joppa resort offers both dog daycare and overnight boarding.
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.
