I LOVE that it's all women, it makes me feel 100000x more comfortable. They always go above and beyond. At least once or twice my girl has had accidents in the house (those puppy days) and they've cleaned it up! They keep a notebook at your house and you get a note each time - which is really nice to come home knowing she took care of all her business, or even if they noticed something concerning. I've even had one of the owners/managers text me immediately when they've noticed something REALLY concerning. I have a Furbo camera so I sometimes end up seeing them bringing her back into her bedroom, and it's clear they love her just as much as I do, and it's clear Annie loves them. I have sacrificed other things in my budget in order to have them come 4 times a week, and it is completely worth it for the peace of mind I get during the weekday. ADW was recommended to me, and I am SO glad. I don't think I could recommend them enough.

They are usually very busy so be prepared for that but it's worth it. They have at least 2-3 front desk personnel that know their job and know your pet.

Then, off to get weighed and back to the room. It's very clean too. The vet, Dr. Steinberg was amazing! He took his time with my little girl and made sure that I understood next steps and reassured me that I could call anytime with questions. Jasmine and Michelle and wonderful too! I can't say enough good things about Bayside. Very thankful.

So when I called jumpin rumps, barbara the owner and I met quickly for her to get acquainted to our dog - who was very cray cray at that time. We went out for a week. But we would always look forward to her updates after her every visit! She would send pictures and would give you nice stories about the walk. We have been loyal to her ever since. With every end of the service, we would get something from her like dog food, pumpkin pie with a literature with trivias and some infos on how to take good care of the dog! She is sooo awesome! I actually recommended her to a guest in the hotel i'm working at and i get a name mention after that! Barbara is just a professional pet sitter and you'll be at peace knowing that she is the one in charge of your pet while youre Away!

My dogs have been going to Dogwood Acres for over 7 years. They literally drag me out of the car to…read moreget to the facility. While there, they are well fed, monitored, loved on, and they get exercise and mental stimulation while playing with the other dogs. They are both senior dogs now, and act like puppies when they attend. There are many activities and options to choose from, which is nice. And cameras are available for many of the play yards. I highly recommend this facility - from Java and Coco Bella's mom.

We recently moved to the Maryland area and decided to try Dogwood Acres for a four day boarding…read morestay for our dog while my husband and I traveled. Unfortunately, our experience raised serious concerns. When we picked our dog up around 12:30 in the afternoon, he immediately ran outside and urinated for several minutes straight, followed by urgently needing to relieve himself again for a bowel movement. As longtime dog owners, we know our dog's routine very well. He is walked every morning and evening, and if he has truly been taken on a "mile walk," he absolutely would have relieved himself during that time. Concerned, I went back inside and asked staff when he had last been taken out. I was told he had gone on a mile walk at 10:30 a.m. However, based on our dog's condition and behavior upon pickup, that explanation simply did not align with reality. What troubled me most was not just the possibility that our dog may not have been properly walked or given adequate bathroom breaks, but the feeling that we were not being told the truth. Any boarding facility caring for animals should prioritize honesty, transparency, and the wellbeing of pets in their care. I understand that boarding environments can be busy, and no facility is perfect. But leaving a dog visibly desperate to relieve itself after being picked up is unacceptable and heartbreaking for any pet owner to witness. I would strongly encourage other pet owners to ask detailed questions about potty break schedules, walks, supervision, and communication before boarding their pets here.

Dogwood Acres Pet Resort has 0% ability to talk in a civil manner. If we can't have an adult conversation it doesn't give me high hopes that we can all have a honest candid conversation. Things happen and it's like any pet facility where dogs live and come daily etc., but trying to hide and deny it and then attacking community members asking about it.. not a good look.

I have wrestled for days about writing this review. I rarely write reviews but feel compelled to…read morenow. On March 26, 2025, I had to let one of my precious Bichons go. He was given a sedative first then the final shot. He was comfortably lying in my arms. When the sedative was given, he screamed, I cried uncontrollably. My Husband was also present and visibly shaken. In my 74 years I have given many dogs back to God. This was the first time I had experienced this. The Vet said he moved, and the shot went into his muscles. I did not hear this that day, my Husband told me later. Weeks later I questioned the Vet and was told the same. On September 18, 2025, I lost another of my precious Bichons. Again, he was in my arms, my Husband said with his eyes closed because he trusted me. The sedative was given; he screamed. This protocol is unacceptable and cruel not only to my babies but also for my Husband and me. The Vet said that day he always cried with injections. Five days before this we were in the ER with this pup, and he had an injection and did not make a sound. I have been haunted daily by these screams. Letting a dog go is traumatic enough without having to experience something like this. Not only once but twice in six months. UPDATE: While I appreciate only some of your response (below) to my review, Dr. Levitsky being the Owner of Healing Paws. They do not even come close to closure for my Husband and I after witnessing what should have been a peaceful and dignified transition for both Tyler and Tigger. I could possibly accept, maybe, just maybe if only one of my boys had screamed but not both. This was not rare! I have had a total of 15 dogs in my lifetime. And of these precious dogs I was with them at the end just like Tyler and Tigger. Not ONE screamed, NOT one. Tyler and Tigger were the only two that Dr. Key performed the sedatives on and the anesthesia. A peaceful transition for both were my only "needs". I really do not know what you are talking about as far as policy, etc. and find these comments to my review par for the course as well as amusing. I spent 20K there in a little over 2 1/2 years, you were well compensated. I only came back to Healing Paws in 2023 because of Dr. Key. I left in 2019 for numerous reasons that were unprofessional of you and your staff. I am terribly sorry I returned. I could go on and will update this as necessary.
