Welcome to Camp Waggy Tails 🏕️🐾♥️

Hello, my name is Marina and I live in Scotts Valley with my husband Alec and our two Belgian shepherds Onyx and Luna. I am an artist/designer, 35 years old and I have spent most of my life around many animals from birds to cats and mostly dogs. I truly love and enjoy taking care of all breeds and sizes and I have trained a few dogs while raising several litters of puppies, taking care of friends' and families' pets while they are vacationing or if they needed a quick walk or a drop-by visit, I'm all there! My husband and I both work from home and love spending time outside in nature, hiking, and keeping an active lifestyle your pet will enjoy. We are always looking forward to having new companions to welcome into our home. We have a beautiful 1,500 Sqft Dog Park in the woods fully fenced-in area with fresh wood chips and different sections of shade and plenty of sun for the dogs to run free and play all day with each other. We can assure you your dog will have a great time at our doggy camp playing fetch, chasing squirrels, and enjoying the fresh air under the redwoods canopy. We would be more than happy to take care of your dog's needs, active dog is a happy dog! We can't wait to meet your best friend!

Doggy Day Care • May 18, 2026

Marina and Alec were wonderful to communicate with and took the best care of our Luna girl. They have an amazing setup for the doggies, they sent pictures and videos throughout the day, and we felt completely at ease knowing that Luna was in such good hands. We definitely will hope they're available next time we're in town!

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the start, communication was excellent, and we felt completely at ease leaving our dog in their care. They provided updates, followed all instructions, and gave our dog plenty of attention and love. It was clear our dog was happy and comfortable. We will absolutely book again and highly recommend them.

Rio had the absolute best time with Marina and Alec, they were such great hosts. The dogs looked like they were having so much fun and their property was amazing for a little dog vacation.

Marina and Alec did a fabulous job taking care of our girl Summer. Summer had a great time at Camp Waggy tails. She came back super exhausted and happy after running around the forest with her new pack of friends. We always love getting back a tired pup. 100% reccomend you give camp waggy tails a try!

Marina and Alec were fantastic hosts! They were extremely communicative, my pups came home happy and tired, and they have an AMAZING setup for dogs to run free in a great fenced off area in the forest. They were also great at making sure Zara got her anti-itch medicine daily too. Highly recommend!!
