About the Dogtel Hotel

The Dogtel Hotel is Ocean City's premier pet boarding facility, offering your pet a home away from home in a private wooded setting. We provide luxury pet accommodations and will make your pet feel at home!

We have been taking care of peoples' most loved pets since 2002 and members of the Pet Care Services Association (PCSA). The PCSA is the national arm of the kennel industry and has strict guidelines. Find out more about the PCSA code of ethics and the PCSA owners bill of rights to which we gladly adhere. (will link to pages with PCSA info)

We specialize in dog and cat boarding, but we also accommodate birds, rabbits and other pets. We also offer discounts for long term boarding, please call us at 410-213-8188 for more information.

Please notify us if your pet has special needs or medications as additional charges may apply. Also, please ask about our off-season and long term discounts!

We also have a vet on call in case any resident gets sick.

Owner Visits

If you are visiting Ocean City, we encourage you to visit your pet(s) while they are boarding with us. Visiting hours are 8 to 6 daily.

You may even want to take your dog for the day. Ocean City allows pets on the boardwalk and beach only in the off season. In the summer you may want to take your dog to the beach at Assateague, take them for a walk on our property or visit one of the nearby parks.

We will be happy to suggest a place that will be perfect for you and your pet.
