Our all-inclusive boarding service means one nightly rate covers everything your pet needs for a comfortable stay. This includes supervised playtime tailored to your pet's energy level, swimming for dogs who enjoy it, attention from our certified staff, premium pet food (or your own if you prefer), and personalized attention if needed. We charge by the night, not by the day, offering you more value and flexibility.

Our We treat every pet who boards with us as if they are our own; their care and comfort are our highest priority.

We offer Day camp Monday-Friday. Dogs can be dropped off as early as 7am and picked up as late as 6:00pm. We do not feed dogs during Day camp for safety reasons.

Yes, we do. Waggin’ Tails will do everything possible to get your dog(s) into a playgroup or playgroups but it is our policy to restrict playgroups (NOT playtime) for non-neutered and/or non-spayed dogs. We are very careful how we place dogs into playgroups and safety is our number one concern. While some dogs play well with non-neutered/non-spayed dogs, many will “bully” or attack the non-neutered/non-spayed pet without any other provocation. Waggin’ Tails staff members are responsible for watching and monitoring multiple playgroups and may choose to play with your dog in a solo situation if there are no safe playgroups available. Please feel free to ask us any questions you have regarding our safety policies.

For safety reasons, female dogs may not come to Waggin' Tails while in heat or up to 14 days past active heat. We also do not accept pregnant dogs.
