When I try to take the big guy home he literally goes ape sh*t when seeing the staff. By the time we get home he's pooped and and ends up dozing off for the rest of the evening as opposed to his normal "i want attention give me attention now now now" attitude. So at the very least, I know he's being entertained well and getting lots of excercise/play time during his stay.

Our 4 year old Australian Shepherd, Cassie has been going to Parkwood Pet Resort West (originally…read moreHomewood Pet Resort) regularly since September 2024. This place is amazing. She is there twice a week for daycare, which she absolutely loves because she gets to spend the day playing with her friends. And she has stayed overnight for a week a couple times. They are always happy to see her arrive and she is ecstatic when we arrive there in the morning. The people there are very friendly and true dog lovers. We love the photos that they send us whenever she is there. She is always having so much fun. She is well taken care, loved and extremely happy. Who could ask for more. We are always recommending to folks we run into. This is Cassie's home away from home. Thanks for being there for her. Laurie

My friend left her elderly wiener dog at the resort while she traveled out of the country. I was…read morelisted as the dog's emergency contact because I live locally. While under the resort's care, the dog's condition declined. On the night my friend returned to town, the resort contacted her to say the dog may be ill, but also stated he could wait until the morning for pickup (the originally scheduled date). The message did not convey any urgency. My friend, not wanting to leave her best friend there if he wasn't feeling well, calmly made her way to the resort. At no point were we informed that the dog might need emergency-level care, nor was I ever contacted to come pick him up as the designated emergency contact. When she arrived, the dog was handed to her wrapped in a blanket, which struck her as unusual. He had been ambulatory at drop-off, and we typically did not carry him everywhere. Once home, she realized he couldn't even hold his head up. At that moment, my friend knew he was gravely ill and called me in a panic. We rushed him to VEG, where veterinarians discovered he had severe burns and was dehydrated. He required hospitalization and, ultimately, had to be euthanized. We informed the resort and requested assistance in covering the veterinary bills, but they refused. They never reached out to check on the dog and only learned of his death during court proceedings. I am appalled that I, as the emergency contact, was never called when his condition began to deteriorate. I do not understand why he had burns. I'm not a veterinarian, but if he died of old age, it is heartbreaking to think that he could have spent his final moments with the people he knew and loved--yet we were denied that chance because the resort failed to notify us.

Their website is full of useful information and Cheri filled me in on everything else I needed to know. The location is beautiful and secluded and from the moment I arrived, I felt at ease. They took great care with my dogs (both rescues) and even my younger pup, who is afraid of most things, seemed perfectly content to explore the grounds with one of the kennel employees. When I picked them up, they were happy, which any dog parent knows is the key to a great boarding facility. So happy to have found such a great location run by people who obviously take great care with the pets entrusted to them. This is without a doubt my new go-to kennel!

I needed help with training, and I honestly couldn't have made a better choice. Daft did an amazing job training Buffy and continues to work with her whenever he sees her during boarding. The entire staff is wonderful and treats Buffy like family. As soon as we get off the 95 exit, she gets so excited because she knows exactly where she's going and can't wait to get inside! They've even introduced her to swimming on Wednesdays and Saturdays, which she absolutely loves. I travel quite a bit and board Buffy frequently, and she always comes home clean, happy, and completely exhausted--which is exactly what I want! I'm writing this review because I learned the hard way that not every dog daycare and boarding facility is created equal. Since I live in Owings Mills, I decided to be lazy and try a place closer to home just for the weekend, Parkwood Pet Resort in Pikesville. I won't go into all the details because there's a lot, and I'm addressing those concerns with their corporate office. I'll simply say that after I had already paid a deposit and Buffy had completed her temperament test the day before, they made it very clear that they didn't want her there and even suggested that I take her to their West Baltimore location aka the more Urban location. I'll leave it at that because I don't want to turn this review into a negative one about another business. However, that experience definitely opened my eyes and made me realize just how special Downtown Dog Resort really is. So, this review is also my apology to Downtown Dog Resort for ever thinking that all dog daycare and boarding facilities were created equal. They are NOT! Thank you to the entire Downtown Dog Resort team for loving and taking care of my Buffy like she's one of your own. We appreciate you more than you know!

When Kacy is sick or not feeling good, Lori will check on her and update me with how she is doing. When I'm running late from work or something comes up during a work day, Lori will come walk Kacy.
