This review is not related to the services that they offer to pets but regarding an ongoing issue that has not yet been resolved with me. I booked an event for my dog and it was scheduled for 07/23/2022. I paid a deposit to complete the reservation. Unfortunately I was unable to keep that reservation and I called the business on 07/20/2022 to cancel the event. It has been over 1 year and I have not received my deposit back. I attempted to contact the business regarding the deposit and I have sent numerous emails trying to make contact and most recently a follow up email was sent on 07/14/2023 and I did not receive a response back from the business. I strongly dislike having to take the time out of my day to write a negative review and as another attempt to make contact. Will this be answered or corrected? I’m doubtful. We’re almost in 2024.

Dogwood Acres came recommended by some friends of ours who used to run their own kennel, so I figured it had to be a decent place to leave our dog for the weekend… Well I’m happy to report our friends gave us good advice, since we had a very positive experience at Dogwood Acres! Our 9-year old golden doodle, Duncan, boarded there for the first time this past weekend. All of the staff were uber friendly and attentive to the needs of both dog and human during Duncan's stay. And as any pet owner can attest, you can tell a lot about the way your pet was treated by how they behave when they return home. Duncan was 100% himself after I picked him up (even down to his #2s!), and settled right back in at home, just like he hadn’t been away. Many thanks to the staff at Dogwood Acres for taking such good care of our dear Duncan.

This place is the Ritz. My 18 year old dog sprints around like a puppy after staying here- he loves it. Highly recommend.

Our little Yorki-Poo-Chi loves staying at Dogwood Acres. He hasn't mentioned anything he'd like to see changed. The staff are all super friendly, and the rates are very reasonable for what he receives.

Both dogs love this place. They may have joined a doodle gang though, so watch out.Edited to add, my wife says they actually run the doodle gang.

The price gouging is ridiculous. Called to book for a period in July. I was told that this is a popular time, so to give the dogs the most attention possible, they only offer the highest tier package. Huh? Sooo if all the dogs in the facility are at the highest tier, requiring the highest level of attention and interaction, then how does that happen? Do you hire more staff? This doesn’t add up. Simply put,it does not make sense because it is ridiculous. That’s when I stopped taking my dog to this place. They’re basically trying to pee on your leg and tell you it’s rain. At this point we are talking $80+/day BEFORE adding the extras - like a fee to give your dog their meds, extra walks, etc. Over $100/day? Yeah ok. I hate places like this that lie and say the extra cost is for the pet. It’s not. It’s for your profits. While I certainly have no issue paying for quality and service, I will never appreciate being taken advantage of.

Around 2017 was the first time we used Dogwood Acres(Davidsonville). We took our 2 cats for a little over a week long boarding. Katniss and Torie. Torrie was still a kitten. The staff were great with my kitties. I figured they would be since Torie was still a kitten....lol. Seriously though, I loved the updates about how they were doing while we were so far away. I also appreciated the tour of the cat area so I could see where they would be.This year (2023) we used the Stevensville location for our new puppy when a family member passed. Davidsonville didn't have any openings and it was really short notice. They fit us in within 48 hours. The staff was absolutely incredible. Super sweet, patient because Dude (yes, that's our pups name...lol) wasn't to sure about the strange people trying to take him away from me. I had to extend his visit once we were able to schedule the funeral, and one more time when I realized my mom needed me a little longer. We didn't pack enough food for the second extension, but they offered their food. Huge relief.When we got there to pick him up he acted like he didn't want to leave. It made my heart happy since I had just gone through such a tough time, and I felt guilty for extending his time.I've used them twice since then and as soon as he sees where we are he gets excited.We recently had a pet event at my work and Dogwood Acres donated items to put in our "doggy bags" for customers. I made sure to tell everyone that had never heard of them about my experience.Thank you so much for making my pup's stay there a good one. I will always recommend you guys.

The staff at DAPR is the best! I have been taking my pets (total of three now) to the Davidsonville location for more than 10 years now. I have used Kent Island for boarding as well. My pets love Dogwood Acres!

I used them for many years. Used to be really great but over the last few years have alarmingly declined. Dog brought home fleas one visit, filthy on one return despite a supposed bath, kennel cough. Also very expensive for base cost not to mention flea treatment for the whole house, vet bills etc. And if you call, they could care less. I will never use them again. Too bad. They used to be amazing

Jill, you know you're meeting with my husband today so stop with this public farce to cover yourself. You also know you told him that you were paying $500 and no more despite Nicole saying she would recommend you cover the full bill. I mentioned you personally because you personally made this terrible judgment and indicated that our dog's life was only worth $500. I don't care what your protocols are Jill. You didn't follow them. You're not infallible just because you have protocols. Your Cracker Jack staff dropped the ball. They returned our insulin warm and forgot to return his other meds at pickup. Also, my husband will be happy to call the neurologist with you today so you can hear for yourself that he believes Hudson's diabetes was grossly mismanaged while in your care and that Hudson was in a severely hypoglycemic state for some time before you sent him home. Also that he's pretty sure the seizure we saw wasn't his first and you guys neglected to notice. Own up to your mistakes and take responsibility. Denying that anything could have happened despite objective evidence that it did makes you look even worse.ETA: Jill's compassionate bleeding heart of love for dogs screamed at my husband to take her to court because she refuses to take responsibility for the grievous harm that her staff has caused to our dog who can currently not walk or function on his own nearly 5 days after leaving Dogwood Acres. SHE IS LYING IN HER RESPONSE. They never intended to cover the bill and don't for a second believe they won't kill your dog and say, "well it must've been something wrong with him before he came in." We're not ones to bluff Jill. You'll be hearing from our lawyer soon. Happy to take you down and spare anyone else the pain you have caused our dog.

I have been using Dogwood Acres for years now...my new GSD ~ Dakota ~ is a frequent-guest there! Absolutely love this place and both my GSDs get so excited as we drive into the parking lots at both locations in Davidsonville and Kent Island which tells me that they both also love it here! The prices can be steep especially in this recession inflation market we all are in but the value and security knowing my GSD~ Dakota ~ is in great care makes it all worth it!
