Our Unique Approach to Pet Care

Inspiration Comes in Many Forms

For Tiki’s Playhouse founder, Kelvin Abrams, inspiration came from heartbreak. His beloved Weimaraner puppy, Tiki, passed away at just 11 months due to a sudden spinal-cord injury that left him paralyzed. That moment changed Kelvin’s life — inspiring him to leave his government career and dedicate himself to creating a better experience for dogs and their families.

A Better Way for Dogs

Since 2008, Tiki’s Playhouse has been redefining pet care with cageless, community-focused environments for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Our facility features a spacious off-leash playground where dogs can safely socialize, exercise, and have fun. From doggie daycare to overnight boarding, every pet in our care is treated like family.

More Than Daycare

We proudly serve pet owners across Howard, Carroll, and Montgomery Counties, offering:

• Doggie Daycare & Boarding — flexible, stress-free care designed for happy, healthy dogs
• K9 & Coffee / Bourbon Bar — a unique way for pets and their owners to socialize
• Weekend Playground Access — Saturdays from 8 AM – 12 PM, weather permitting

At Tiki’s Playhouse, it’s not just about looking after dogs — it’s about creating community, fun, and lifelong bonds for pets and their people.
