Reisterstown Pet Resort & Spa

At Reisterstown Pet Resort & Spa, we are more than just a boarding facility; we are a haven for pets and a sanctuary for pet owners. Our commitment to providing compassionate lodging, daycare, and grooming services has made us a trusted partner in the pet wellness team of our clients.

Our journey began in 1990 when Reisterstown Boarding Kennels, Inc. was purchased by the partnership of Dr. Eddie Molesworth, his wife Josie Molesworth, and Josie's parents Bob and Velma Gakenheimer. With over 50 years of pet handling experience and 27 years of pet lodging and grooming business experience, we have championed continued education for all staff members.

Over the years, we have invested in building a state-of-the-art facility, including a dedicated grooming salon, office space, Luxury Suites, and upgraded Bunkhouse Rooms. We have also upgraded our facility with over half a million dollars in improvements, including Suite upgrades, an outdoor in-ground pool, creating over 50,000 square feet of outdoor fenced-in play areas, specially designed pet play equipment, building upgrades, and equipment upgrades.

Our History

In 1990, Reisterstown Boarding Kennels, Inc. was purchased by the partnership of Dr. Eddie Molesworth, his wife Josie Molesworth, and Josie's parents Bob and Velma Gakenheimer. With a goal to provide safe and enjoyable pet care, the company has grown and evolved over the years, becoming a trusted name in the pet care industry.

In the year 2000, RBK was able to build a million-dollar installation that included a dedicated grooming salon, office space, one of the very first in the area at that time, Luxury Suites, and an upgraded version of what was called the Bunkhouse Rooms at that time. Around 2005 Bob and Velma began to transition out of the day-to-day management of the company with Josie Molesworth and her brother Bobby Gakenheimer stepping in.

Over the next 11 years RBK invested over half a million dollars into Suite upgrades, an outdoor in-ground pool, creating over 50,000 square feet of outdoor fenced-in play areas, specially designed pet play equipment, building upgrades, and equipment upgrades, all with the single goal of providing pets with the best possible care and experience.
