Our Story
Rivermist Pet Lodge is the area’s most picturesque dog and cat boarding facility– our 37 grassy acres are so pretty, you’ll want to stay here too! Rivermist Pet Lodge has been a trusted name in dog and cat lodging since its establishment in 1969.
Over 50 Years of Premium Pet Care
Located in Brinklow, MD right off Route 650, just minutes from Silver Spring, Rockville, Bethesda, Columbia, Gaithersburg and Olney, we’re convenient to pet lovers in Montgomery and Howard Counties, and a scenic drive from Frederick and Carroll Counties and Washington D.C. We also offer home pick-up and delivery services to Howard and Montgomery Counties for your convenience.

Family Owned & Operated
Rivermist Pet Lodge was established by Washington D.C. native Barry Goodman in 1969. Goodman chose the property for its pristine, yet convenient country location. An avid dog lover, Goodman built a lodging facility where the choosiest of pet owners can leave their beloved companions and trust they’ll be given the best of care.
Today, Rivermist Pet Lodge is owned by Melissa and Scott Simon. Together they carry on the tradition of premium care as they look toward an even brighter future.
