I can't say enough good things about this daycare facility and Hendrix loves going to daycare. It's very clean, they provide snacks, they wipe your pup down after playtime, and if your fur baby has a special diet, just ring in the food with instructions. They will take it from there. I normally take him in the afternoon and he comes home so tired he just eats dinner and goes to bed. On the rainy days, it's great to have an alternative to staying in the house. The rates are reasonable, the onsite groomer did a wonderful job with Hendrix. And best of all, you can watch your pup play by downloading an app. ( for a small fee, I think it's less than $5 a month). Day care payments are automatically drafted every two weeks and if you choose to get your pup bathed while at daycare, it's added to your bill. Just call Melissa and make the appt. I'm very glad I found GDDC, and so is Hendrix. read more

See all

Love this place and so will your dog! The staff are kind and always greet you and your dog with a smile. Somehow, the young lady who collects the dogs at the door knows every dog by first name.. we love this place! Mamba and Theresa read more

They know the dogs so well. They get the right mix of canines based not just on size and age but temperament. My dog loves going there. It's an old building and because it's used 24/7/365 I'm sure it needs a deep clean. The smell is strong. But I forgive that easily. read more

We LOVE Good Doggie Daycare! Despite caring for many dogs, the staff at reception always greet Charlie by name, and are excited and welcoming. I love that they use kennel free boarding and allow Charlie to sleep in a bed with a caretaker. Thanks for taking such great care of our sweet pup! read more

Good Doggie Daycare is the only place I trust to care for my dog Charlie! The staff truly care about all of their pups and remember each dog even if it's been a while between visits. My dog plays so hard with his friends that he gets sore and the staff are super vigilant and give him breaks when he's starting to overdo it. Their facility is amazing, and is MUCH larger than it seems from the street, with multiple spaces for your pup to frolicking with his friends, including a nice outdoor space with a doggie pool! The space is super clean too, and they scrub everything down with bleach. We wait until the very last minute to tell Charlie he's going to Good doggie, because he literally cannot contain himself once he knows he's going. He jumps in the air, howls, whines, and generally loses control!! My family LOVES Good Doggie!!! FYI, They are open during the coronavirus lockdown and are doing valet service to maintain social distancing. read more

Good Doggie Day Care - Charlie wishing he was at Good Doggie Daycare - Pet Training Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

My sister has been bringing her dog here for years and has always had a great experience. Unfortunately our doggie was bit by a Pitbull at doggie daycare. Our entire family was very upset. After our dog was bit, the daycare took our dog to the vet. The vet shaved her legs, and gave her staples and antibiotics. She has multiple wounds and bites on her chest and legs, having trouble walking (limping very badly), and in extreme pain and very scared. We were taken back because it felt like the owner of the daycare was downplaying the entire situation and how hurt our dog was. We also felt in the dark about what exactly happened, what treatment was administered, with little follow up info. We called the vet to get the details of what happened, and the vet said our dog needs xrays because she possibly had fractured her leg since she was non weight bearing. Also, the daycare said the pitbull is allowed to come back. Sad day for our doggie and family :( read more

7:00pm, Tuesday March 19th. I was attending a training class at the training facility just next to Good Doggie Day Care, and while getting out of the car with my dog, I heard a woman absolutely viciously screaming at a dog to sit. I followed the sound and found myself looking through the fence onto the outdoor area of Good Doggie Day Care. A female employee was screeching at several dogs who were obviously just playing and overexcited to sit and while I watched, she called one dog a "moron" and grabbed another roughly by the collar. I have never been to this facility and I don't know how they normally treat the dogs that are entrusted to them, but this woman was terrible and should not be around any dogs if that's how she treats them. It wasn't enough for me to call the police, but I sure as hell know I will tell everyone I know who has a dog NOT to entrust their babies to this place. UPDATE 3/21/2019: I spoke with the owner privately and she initially assured me that the employee would be terminated. However, the employee was NOT terminated, just suspended without pay for 3 days. I found this an incredibly disappointing response. No one should work with dogs who gets frustrated enough to screech and manhandle them. read more

I have a super sweet, friendly and well trained pup who I brought to this facility 3x a week. On 3 occasions he got aggressively bit on the head/face. He has at least 5 scars from these attacks. Once I was told it was a result of food aggression by another dog during "lunch time", another was just an aggressive dog that "shouldn't have been there". Often the stories of staff didn't match. When I talked to the owner there was no offer of resolution, just that it was unfortunate. On many days if you check the cameras there are loads of unsupervised dogs. It's so disappointing because my dog enjoyed playing, but who can risk the injury or the chance of them becoming aggressive themselves. read more

Good Doggie Day Care - Pet Training Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

How much it cost for day care a day. I need to put my dog in daycare from 19 until 23 i will b going vacation.

I love this doggie day care! I feel so comfortable leaving my precious girl here.

We recently moved out of state, but if we were still there our dogs would still be going to Good Doggie. The staff is super friendly and they learned our dogs names within the first two visits. They took great care of our dogs and can only assume they continue to do that with other guests. Cage free facilities was a BIG plus for one of our dogs. I would recommend to anyone. read more

Came back from a trip to find one of my dogs had a bad case of moist dermatitis. Apparently the groomer noticed it and stopped grooming. The staff told me that she found matted hair around the bottom end the day before, so she tried to undo them by wetting them. He was obviously very uncomfortable near his bottom end and would not let me pick him the usual way. I took him to the vet immediately to learn what moist dermatitis is. He was treated with IM antibiotics and prescribed oral ones. I researched it further to discover that any undue moisture can lead to this problem. To only realize 'wetting' of this bottom may have contributed to it or perhaps may have exacerbated it. It's impossible to know how or when it happened since no one from the facility noticed it and alerted us. I would have expected that a staff at a dog care facility would be trained appropriately to pickup up signs of injury and to prevent harm unnecessarily. What is absolutely disheartening and quite upsetting is that this is the second time this has happened. About a month ago, it happened to one of our other dogs (we have three). We were told that she's been having diarrhea and her bottom was 'sore.' It had the same appearance at that time just not as severe. When we washed away the crud encrusted around her butt, it looks a bit inflamed but not serious. Luckily she recovered on her own in a few days. But again, there was no communication about what was happening, the fact that she had been having diarrhea, only to be told at the time of pick up. My wife and I tried our best not to jump to any conclusions. And we understand that moist dermatitis is not a rare condition in dogs. But we could not help but help the feeling that the mention was a CYA type of disclosure since we would obviously find out when we got home. In my experience and opinion, this place is acceptable for one or two days tops. If anyone has any suggestions on a place that can safely accommodate three small dogs for up to a week at a time, please let me know. **UPDATE** My wife spoke to the owner this morning. The owner was rather defensive about the incident and suggested that we find another daycare. I think that was the best advice we received about this place. read more

Awesome Daycare for your dog! Tons of different play rooms both inside and outside. My dog absolutely loves it. I also use them for when I go out of town. Very reasonable! They are also open during this pandemic and are taking extreme health and sanitary measures with your animal and the dropoff and pick up. read more

My name is Charlie. I am a year-old miniature golden and I wanted to tell you how much I love going to Good Doggie Day Care. I can't contain myself when my owner drives down Ash Street and approaches the building. I can't stop jumping when I enter the inviting lobby with treats, testimonials about how great the place is, and friendly stuffed dogs. When the amazing staff come out to greet me and take me to the back yard, which you can see from the Jones Falls Expressway (I get excited when I see the yard, too!), I know I am about to have a fabulous day. My owner says the place is spotless, cozy, and full of friendly people who love dogs so much. I agree. My owner loves that I come home exhausted. I have a lot of energy and the place tires me out. She can watch me on the web cam, also. I wish I could go every day. They have boarding too, but I have not stayed over night. One day, perhaps. Until then, I really enjoy my days at Good Doggie. So does my owner. read more

Best doggie day care in the area! It's the only 100% cage-free doggie daycare in Baltimore. They provide access via webcam to your doggie's daily activities which can be accessed through your computer or an app for your phone. The daycare specialists are amazing with the dogs, and if your dog has to board, the overnight staff sleeps in the same room so they can snuggle up with a surrogate parent for the night! read more

Good Doggie Day Care - Now that the banner is up, it's hard to miss when traveling on 29th Street! - Pet Training Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I moved from Baltimore 18 Mt ago and I have been looking for a doggy day care for my 5yr old Doberman . After checking so many places I have not been able to find anything like good doggie day care in Baltimore Maryland . So many places I have looked at have breed restrictions and cages everywhere. Now my doggy boon now my dog has a dog walker 5 days a week Boon and I miss good doggie day care in baltimore read more

I can not say enough great things about Good Doggie Daycare!!!! They take wonderful care of our incredible hyper mutt, and are always happy to have her. The staff is very friendly, they love their dogs, and it shows. Dogs are totally spoiled with huge play spaces, beds, lots of outside time (weather permitting) and a day full of belly rubs. Our dog comes home happy and exhausted. I love that they are cage/crate free, and just let the dogs run and play together. Our dog can really be a lot to handle, but I completely trust her with them. They just moved to a new location on 29th St, so it's even more room for their dogs to run and play. read more

I'm actually surprised I'm the first to review this long standing and well loved dog daycare. I wouldn't have normally bothered submitting a review. Good Doggie Day Care(GDDC) was the first daycare my puppy ever used and even though I always thought they were fantastic I didn't realize how outstanding they were until I moved to another part of the city and began using a different daycare. This "different daycare" has always been highly acclaimed as the best in the city and if you don't know any better, you would think they were. Don't get me wrong, they aren't horrible (I'd give them 3-4 stars) and it has taken me several weeks to finally decide to suck it up and make the long haul to Hampden to have my puppy attend Good Doggie Daycare again. It's just that once you've had the best, it's hard to go back. Here are my reasons this place is the BEST in list form. 1. There is ALWAYS someone playing with the dogs at Good Doggie Daycare(GDDC). There is a webcam and you can see for yourself. 2. There is a pick up/delivery service in the afternoon for those in the vicinity who want their dogs to go half day but can't get them there or back. 3. My dog was always tired after a half day at GDDC. She would fall fast asleep on the way home 4. They do not allow play fighting. At first I thought that was a bit lame until my puppy got bit at a "different daycare" and I realized the reason was that the dogs weren't always supervised there and they were allowed to fight. With dogs who don't know each other it is hard to tell when they've moved from playing to fighting. 5. The play area is HUGE. Much bigger than any others I've seen. read more

When my parents officially became empty nesters, they got the one thing I begged for for the first 18 years of my life: a dog. But being the workaholics they are, they still need some help making sure their new bundle of joy was cared for during the day: enter Good Doggie Day Care! I've been here several times when I've come to town to visit and this place is run like a well-oiled machine. Nothing seems overlooked- from the way the lobby is set up with multiple doors to prevent clever four-legged escape artists from doing their thing- to employees who camp out with the dogs round the clock (through snowstorms and holidays too!). This place has been a life saver for them on so many occasions. Their dog loves coming here and they like knowing he's in good hands. My mom's favorite part is the cameras- more than a dozen views of different rooms around the facility so you can tune in and watch what your pup is up to! I can't help but notice my furry sibling gets more perks than I did growing up. This place comes highly recommended from some tough critics, it's sure to impress you and your dog! read more

This is the best dog boarding and daycare in Baltimore! My somewhat hyper and neurotic border collie mix has been coming here and to their previous location in Hampden for the past couple of years and she always comes home happy and relaxed after a trip to GDDC. I love that I can see how she's doing on their numerous webcams and that they're cage/crate-free. The staff is so friendly and laid-back. And they always have space for boarding, even over busy holiday weekends. Also, lord knows how they keep the place so unbelievably CLEAN and SPOTLESS. read more

Can't say enough about this day care facility for dogs. The staff is fantastic and Dog-mama Barbara is the best and her care/concern for the dogs shines through every moment. They have an efficient system of what dogs go where, they're never left alone, and they get nap time - it's much needed during a full day of play! I have two senior dogs that go 2-3 times a month (keeps them young!). I picked them up recently and they had put a coat/blanket on my oldest dog to help with his arthritis and the cold!! It's that kind of attention and care that results in this place having a waiting list for the initial visit and interview before they are cleared/accepted to attend on a regular basis. Good Doggie Day Care is well worth the wait and the expense! read more

I have been working for good doggie day care for (2)years, and have enjoyed everyday that I've been employed by Ms.Joann, she is the best and truly in tuned with every doggie parent and staff needs, and most of all like myself she's a animal lover, and trust what I've written I wouldn't still be working here if it wasn't true, I love being here with my babies,they bring me so much joy, and the staff love them just as much. read more

The staff have been just amazing to newly rescued 3 year old pup! They have helped her build confidence, trust other humans and learn how to play with all the pups. The facility is super clean, the staff love on my pup like she is their own and the day care and overnight stays have been wonderful! I can't say enough good things about the facility and staff at Good Doggie Day Care! read more

We love Good Doggie Day Care! Whenever we come in our dog is so excited and happy to see the staff. We have lived in multiple cities and taken our dog to various boarding facilities and are really happy with this one. The staff are very responsive and helpful. read more

Hands down the best in the city! Not only do they offer daycare but they also have boarding,consistent groomers, and a knowledgeable trainer . I love going to their website and watching the dogs play. You always see the employees in the room interacting with the dogs so you know the dogs aren't getting into whatever they can find. The staff is friendly and helpful and takes the time to ensure that your dog is treated like their own. Often they will be waiting to meet you at the car to receive your dog. Which makes hectic mornings a bit easier. They are always having a special party or giving the dogs a special treat without charging a dime for the bonus goodies. Their play area is huge and has an actual doggie playground for the dogs. The rooms are filled with ramps, trees, dog houses, hoops and hurdles ,couches and chairs all just for the dogs. It's always clean and well kept and the viewing windows in the lobby makes waiting for pick-up enjoyable while you watch the dogs romp and play. The best thing as a pet owner is the fact I know my dog would never be placed into a cage or pen. The staff manages the dogs with simple respect and understanding. I like knowing my dog will return to me not just tired but clean, happy, and well taken care of. read more

The people at Good Doggie Day Care are amazing. They are so caring, lovely, and professional. You can see this reflected in the interview process and their desire to find the right pack for the dog's personality. The facility is perfect too. Can I go to day care here?! Really love this place and the people who make it so special. read more

Good Doggie Daycare is a loving caring place for your dog to have great fun. I can't say enough about one particular attendee/trainer, Jason Ferrell. This guy needs to be cloned. I HAVE NEVER met someone so caring and compassionate with his pack. He goes above and beyond his call of duty. All attendees are amazing, but in my opinion, Jason is exceptional. read more

I saw all good reviews and decided to take my dog. Staff members are all nice, but, everytime I see the credit card charges, I could not believe my eyes - they are all wrong! I take her only twice a week half a day, but the charge is sometimes full day, sometimes half a day, sometimes three times a week. I kept a record, so printed out everything and brought it to the office. They fixed it. Then I saw this month's charge completely wrong again... I am over charged so much and don't know what to say any more. Quite badly managed. You should look at the charges too when you get the credit card statement. I am disappointed in this place... and will stop bringing my dog... read more

We love Good Doggie Daycare! They have been so excellent with our maltese mix, Elliott. We've tried out most of the daycares in the city and this is by-far our favorite. The staff is friendly and really takes an interest in all the dogs they watch - they have nicknames for almost every dog and really get to know their personalities. I even get pictures texted to me every once and a while when El does something funny or cute. Having the online video feed is also cool. Best of all, they are so helpful. They have saved us a couple of times when he have had emergencies or last minute, changed plans. We left El there for a little over two weeks for our wedding and honeymoon and felt very confident he would be well taken care of. Whenever anyone asks about dog daycare or sitting recs we always suggest GDD. read more

I'm a huge fan!! I've been taking my dog here since he was a puppy (he's now 8) and it's nice to have a place I can trust when I am away at work. The staff take excellent care of my guy and the owner is kind. And there are cameras if you want to check up on your pet. read more

Good Doggie is absolutely amazing and the staff are warm and lovely. I recently moved away from the area and what I miss most about Baltimore is GDDC. My dog was always so happy and calm (and clean!) whenever I picked him up, and he received so much love from the staff that I never worried about leaving him. Seriously the best! read more

I can't say enough good things about Good Doggie Day Care. What an amazing place! My pooch is over the moon whenever I bring him for daycare or boarding - he loves the entire staff, and they are so sweet with him and all of the dogs. The facility is fantastic and spotlessly clean - there are tons of outdoor and indoor play areas that the dogs rotate through, and each is loaded with fun toys. It is wonderful knowing that my dog is in such good hands and having so much fun when I'm away. Thank you so much Good Doggie Day Care! read more

My dogs have been going to GDDC every week for 9 years and it has consistently been an outstanding experience. The staff is friendly and professional which makes it as much fun for the people as it is for their pets! The real key is that my dogs are so excited to go there and at the end of the day, they come home tired - I know they are having a full day of fun! read more

I've been really happy with all aspects of GDDC in the 18 months that I've been bringing my dog there. I use them about once a week, and occasionally for a long weekend "sleep-over" if I'm going to be out of town. Being able to watch the webcams is great, and they do also get plenty of outdoor playtime...with kiddie pools and sprinklers during the summer time. The staff has always been friendly and accommodating, and there is at least one or two staff members in each dog playroom at all times, which is reassuring to know. read more

This is truly heaven on earth for dogs. Everything about this place is 5-star. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. They always have things under control and are consistently polite to all the dogs and dog owners. They really seem like they enjoy being there, too. The facilities are wonderful. 10+ rooms, all with different activities and toys for dogs of all sizes. Dogs are normally split up by size, and it's comforting to know the dogs switch rooms several times during the day. The process of getting your dog "in" to the daycare is also professional and comforting. I recommend calling ASAP to get scheduled for the tour because the wait list can be long! There are two steps to be accepted: First, you and your dog come for a meet and greet and you get to see the fa read more

My pug BOB loves going to Good Doggie Day Care! And his favorite person there is Miss Mary who always plays with him and gives him a lot of loving kisses and hugs. BOB goes there twice a week and when I drop him off his tail is wagging. read more

This is by far the best place to take your pup! We moved into the suburbs and still make the drive to take our hound dog here for boarding.

We LOVE Good Doggie Day Care. My two dogs have been hanging out with their friends at GDDC for years. They are still very excited to go, and they always return home happy and tired. All I have to say to them is: "do you want to go to school?" and they begin barking and whirling, Both guys hate to leave at the end of the day and drag their feet on the way out!! One of the best things GDDC offers is "Doggie Cam." You can watch the dogs play from the GDDC website, and see what each group is up to. During a trip to Rome my husband and I tapped into Doggie Cam every afternoon on the hotel's lobby computer. The Italian guests were astonished to see not only the access to our pets via Doggie Cam, but also the facilities at GDDC and the variety of activities offered. We stayed in the hotel for a couple of weeks, and GDDC and its Doggie Cam became a popular afternoon entertainment. The desk staff would shriek, "Vieni qui, si deve vedere questo" (come here, you've got to see this), and we'd draw a crowd of enthusiastic onlookers. There is nothing like GDDC in Italy!!! Good Doggie Day Care offers as positive an experience for me as it does for my two dogs. I know they are safe and happy and I enjoy seeing them have a great time. Whether they are at GDDC for the day, or for several weeks, our boys are happy little guys and can't wait to return for more playtime with the wonderful staff members and their canine friends. read more

I've taken my dog here since GDDC was located on Keswick & 37th Street, and she's always had a good time. I like being able to check on her through the web cams. Wednesdays tend to have a lot of smaller dogs (like mine). The new location is considerably larger, and they now have a large outdoor play area too. I highly recommend Good Doggie Day Care. read more

Employees on cell phones, largely ignoring dogs. They turn up the charm when you walk through the door. I want my dog to be actually cared for while I'm gone. I've seen employees having conversations with others while they are supposed to be "on duty". read more
