Rabbit Boarding in Maryland

Most states have plenty of facilities that̵7;ll look after your cat or dog while you̵7;re away on vacation, but if you̵7;re a rabbit owner, you may struggle to find reliable boarding. If you̵7;re a Maryland resident, a few places around the state offer boarding for rabbits. These facilities include both veterinary practices and independently run boarding resorts.

  1. Misty Ridge Animal Resort

    • If you̵7;re based towards the north of the state, the Misty Ridge Animal Resort (mistyridge.com) is available for you. This boarding facility has been in business for over 30 years and in its New Windsor location serves not only Maryland but the Washington, D.C., and Virginia regions too. This boarding facility is set against a backdrop of hills and caters mainly to dogs and cats. However, the Misty Ridge Animal Resort also accepts other pets. The facility has a climate-control system coupled with air-filtration equipment to keep the animals warm and healthy during their stays. If need be, you can arrange for a facility staff member to come pick up your rabbit and then return it after its stay.

    Best Friends Veterinary Hospital

    • This Best Friends Veterinary Hospital (bestfriendsvethosp.com) in Gaithersburg, Maryland, regularly takes in household pets for overnight and longer stays. The animals accepted include rabbits as well as hamsters and birds. Boarding at the facility is run by veterinary staff, so you are assured that your rabbit will receive appropriate treatment if it becomes unwell while at the boarding facility.

    Chesapeake Pet Resort and Day Spa

    • The Chesapeake Pet Resort and Day Spa (chessiepets.com) is based in the rural area of Hollywood, Maryland, and aims to provide an atmosphere in which pets relax and are pampered, giving owners peace of mind. The facility is designed with a home-style environment in mind and was renovated in 2002. Although the Chesapeake Pet Resort & Day Spa is geared mainly towards caring for cats and dogs, it accepts other animal pets including rabbits. It̵7;s best to inquire ahead of time whether a rabbit can stay at the resort during a particular period. Spa staff members administer medication to pets if requested to do so.

    Star Gazing Farm

    • Found in Boyds, Maryland, the Star Gazing Farm (stargazingfarm.org) offers its "Bunny Motel" to rabbit guests. The resort is well equipped to handle rabbit needs, and the Farm will administer medicines and specific diets to the animals in their care. Rabbits staying at this resort enjoy toys and playpens, and, depending on the season, eat fresh vegetables from the Farm̵7;s garden.
