Waggin' Tails-A Dog's Retreat
Pet care experience
We have been boarding dogs in our home for over 10 years now. Dogs love our home, it is dog-friendly and so are we. We play with and work the dogs daily. We feed them on a schedule and if they take medication, great care is taken to see that instructions are followed exactly. We have opened our home to dogs young and old and can accommodate anything in between. Dogs staying with us, have a fully-fenced secure yard, with night lighting for those times when a late trip outdoors is needed. We have toys for indoor and outdoor play, as well as for summer and winter workouts. We believe that a good dog is one that gets fed regularly, exercised daily, and loved on frequently. Our only restrictions are that dogs coming to our home must have all of their shots and cannot be aggressive with others. We have a safe and happy home and insist on keeping it that way. Dog care is my business and my pleasure. Dogs are monitored whether inside or outside. While we do have to leave the house to run errands or attend appointments, we make every attempt to ensure that someone is always home. Safety and comfort are important to us. Dogs are free to sit with me, play with me, cuddle with me, walk with me. However, I do board dogs from different homes at the same time so we have gates and doors inside the home to separate dogs when necessary. All dogs are also fed separately to avoid any food issues and in case they take any meds/vitamins in their food. There is a doggy door for dogs who are comfortable using them.
Reviews
Ember always has a great time with Joanne and Rocket! She took them on a field trip to a lake and the dogs seemed to have loads of fun.
Joanne is the best of the best. My dog Jasper is so happy when we go there that he doesn’t even say goodbye. Just runs into the house. Joanne Heike him, takes tons of pictures and generally sets me at ease even when I have to travel for long periods of time. I am so grateful for.
We love Joanne!! -Winston, Joe and Hannah

I have a wonderfully social dog named Rocket. He is an excellent host who is my "partner-in-crime". Together we make sure your pup has the best, safest, happiest retreat, so you can both enjoy your vacation.

Information Joanne L. would like to know about your pet
We like to meet the dog first if at all possible, just to get a feel for their unique personality. We need to ensure that they will get along and have good play behaviors. We also need to know what is important to you.
A typical day
Every dog gets a walk every day. Dogs of all ages/abilities will be exercised appropriate to their needs. If a walk around the neighborhood is not enough, we have parks and green ways just 5 minutes away. In all seasons we may also walk at the lake or the river. Well-trained pups are welcome to join us on adventures, that may include hiking or snow play. Smart, energetic pups who need a bit more challenge/entertainment are welcome to work on dog puzzles and structured games/play.
