Loving Home Dog Care, LLC

Loving Home Dog Care, LLC Award winning, family-owned small business offering cage free doggie day care, overnight care & more! This can cause many pups to become withdrawn and unhappy.

Hey There, Furiends! :)

• Loving Home Dog Care is a small doggie day care, overnight care, and pet sitting company serving northeastern MD & many surrounding areas of DE, MD & PA. Conveniently located in Elkton, MD on the Delaware line, we’re a short drive from Newark, DE, near I-95, and close to southeastern PA as well. We specialize in private, constantly supervised small play groups, in a spac

ious, fenced in play yard — outdoors on real grass! We provide cage free doggie day care & overnight care in a cozy, home environment. We also offer in-home pet care & dog walking services, as well as grooming for dogs who are here for day or overnight care.

• We allow no more than 10-12 furry guests to attend at one time because keeping play groups small ensures the safest, most enjoyable play time for everyone. Our extensive background working with hundreds of dogs in boarding kennels & large doggie daycares is what inspired us to start LHDC. We learned a great deal from our many years of experience in those types of overcrowded environments, and we know that smaller play groups are better, safer, & ensure that each pup gets plenty of individualized attention. Every dog is unique & they each have their own various needs. Many dogs feel anxious, irritated, or neglected when left in a boarding kennel or dog care facility with cages & far too many dogs in attendance. They'll never feel that way here because we’re a cozy, home away from home for your best bud. They simply think that they’re on a fabulous pup-cation at their friend or family member’s house. We know because we asked them & they wagged their tails & licked our faces. ;) Think of us as the ultimate doggie clubhouse. :)

• We often have guests who prefer the indoor life to being outdoors all day, and that's totally fine! When they’re here, pups can go in & out as they please. They’re always supervised and they’re never forced to go outside if they’d rather be lounging indoors on the couch or their very own king sized bed! The best part? No cages ever — unless of course you’d prefer your dog be crated at night. But no matter what your dog's pup-sonality, there's a place for them with us, as long as they get along with other dogs. We even offer grooming services for dogs that are attending for day or overnight care! Our clients frequently refer to us their dog's second family, which we take great pride in — because that's exactly what we are! Every dog that spends time with us is considered a member of our family & is treated as such.

⭐️ Hey, FURiends! It’s been awhile since we’ve accepted a new client as we’ve been on a wait list. But it’s now time to welcome a new member to our pack!

🍀 This is Lucky, a 1 year old male pit. His name couldn’t be more appropriate for him because he is just a super happy go lucky pup! He is so incredibly sweet & even tempered and gets along well with everyone — both canine & human. We all fell in love with him immediately! He’s already made lots of FURiends & is a perfect candidate for regular daycare. Lucky recently passed his Meet & Greet with flying colors & will be joining us for sleepovers & daycare. Welcome to the pack, Lucky!

⭐️ It’s time to welcome a new pup into our pack! Meet Nova, a very sweet & special chihuahua mix. She’s only got 3 legs, but you’d never know by how well she gets around!! Nova was quite shy at first, as she’s never been to doggie daycare, but she came out of her shell and did very well at her meet & greet! Nova will be joining us for many fun pupcations. See you soon, sweet girl! 🐶 💚 🐾

Meet Dash. He’s a 6 month old beagle who passed his Meet & Greet today, and he did it with flair! Dash is your typical, awesome beagle puppy — absolutely adorable, delightfully ornery & super loving! He’s a little dude with a huge pupsonality!!

He had a total blast at his Meet & Greet, which is exactly what we love to see. Dash fits right in here & we’re so thrilled to welcome him into the LHDC family & watch him grow up. See you again soon, Dash!💚 🐾 🐶

🐕 Meet Karli, a Hungarian Vizsla. We’ve never had a Vizsla here at LHDC, so we’re very excited that Karli will be our first! He very enthusiastically passed his Meet & Greet yesterday and will make a wonderful addition to our pack. 😄

His family has just moved here from Germany 🇩🇪 and we’re so happy they chose us to care for their sweet boy. Welcome to America, Karli & family!! 🇺🇸 🐶 🤍

Meet Blanche, today’s Star Pup! 🤩 Besides having an awesome name, she’s super friendly & playful, and it’s obvious how much she truly enjoys the company of other pups. She’s also quite adorable & we really love her pink nose. 🥰

Blanche very gleefully passed her meet & greet, and we’re so happy for her to join the day care crew. We love you, Blanche! 🐕 💚 🐾

⭐️ Hey, FURiends — it’s that time again! Today we’re thrilled to welcome not one, but TWO sweet puppies into our pack. Meet Gracie & Ollie! (Gracie is the smaller one, with white on her face.) These 7 month old adoptive siblings bonded closely when they met at the shelter, and were inseparable ever since. Their new parents couldn’t dream of separating them when they saw how attached they were to each other, so of course they rescued them both! 😍

Gracie & Ollie passed their meet & greet today with flying colors! They had an absolute blast meeting lots of new playmates & will be joining us very soon for a long pupcation! Welcome aboard, pups! We’re so happy you found us. 🤍 🐕 🐕

Our Story

We're a small, family owned business offering doggie day care, cage free overnight care, in home pet care, and dog walking. We serve Elkton, MD, Newark, DE, and all neighboring areas of MD, DE, & PA. We're conveniently located on the DE line, a very short drive from Newark, & close to I-95 & southeastern PA. Our owners are wholeheartedly “dog people” who have been working with, training, and most importantly, loving dogs for most of their lives.

We specialize in small, constantly supervised play groups in a large activity yard-outdoors on real grass! And when the pups are indoors, it’s a comfortable home setting for them to relax in. No cages or confinement--not at night, not ever! We have no more than 12 dogs at one time because even though we have a large enough play yard to accommodate more dogs, a smaller pack size ensures the safest, most enjoyable time for everyone. Smaller groups allow every pup to receive plenty of individual attention so we can cater to their own special personalities. All dogs are unique and they each have their own personal needs and preferences, which should never be ignored. It’s very easy for kennels to overlook a dog’s needs when one person is looking after 40 dogs.

Many dogs feel anxious, irritated, withdrawn, or even fearful when overcrowded in a space with countless other dogs. This often creates a volatile, unstable situation for your cherished companion. Rest assured that your fur baby will never feel neglected or be overlooked when they’re with us because our atmosphere is completely opposite of a kennel’s. We're absolutely NOT a kennel. We’re a cozy, home away from home for your best friend-giving you the peace of mind you deserve so you can actually relax on your vacation! No one wants to go on a fun getaway and constantly worry about their beloved pet who’s stuck in a cage or trying to navigate a jam packed yard with 50 other dogs.

LHDC is a place where your pup can truly be themselves. In fact, some dogs prefer the indoor life, & that's fine too! They can hang out indoors as long as they'd like, in our cozy, home environment, and go in & out as they please. They’re never forced to stay outside if they don’t want to (although most dogs do love to play outside with their furiends ;). No matter what your dog's personality, there's a place for him or her with us. And if you need someone reliable to come to your home to feed and walk your dog, we’ve got that covered too! We even offer grooming services for dogs that are here for day or overnight care! What’s better than picking up a freshly groomed pup after their stay with us? Our clients often refer to us as their dog's second family because that's truly what we are. Each dog that spends time with us is treated as a member of our family and we treasure our relationship with them all. Contact us today to request a meet & greet, which is a fun, free play day for your dog! Don't forget to visit our Google listing and our testimonials page on www.lovinghomedogcare.com for reviews from our clients!
