Pet care experience

Wagging tails has everything your family might need! We offer boarding, daycare, grooming, dog walks, drop in visits, and transportation. We are also educated in surgery assistance and veterinary assistance and can administer both injectable medicines (such as insulin) and oral medicines. We offer pet care for all species not just ROVER :D we cater to dogs, cats, birds, small furry animals (such as rabbits and guinea pigs), and reptiles. If I didnt list the species of your pet, feel free to ask, you never know. We are known for our "home away from home" approach, when your pet stays here they are part of the family. We love to include them in our daily routine the same way we do our own personal pets. Our day care program (along with any boarders who might be here) have a fun and busy day every they are here. They are for the most part never home alone as my husband and I work opposite schedules so someone is always here. Speaking of my husband I should properly introduce you to him since on any given day you might see one of us or the other. Matthew G at your service, my faithful and trusty assistant, I kid, he's truly an animal lover just like I am and will likely be just as snuggled up with the pets as they are with him. We know it is hard to trust your beloved pet with someone new however we hope to ease that anxiety for all family members. We do put alot into our guests when they're here and we hope you see that from us :)

Mary is wonderful with Jerry. He drags me to the door at drop-off time. Thank you so much for being his part time mom!

Information Mary G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any health or dietary restrictions your pet may have. I use training (2 calorie) treats as a reward. If they are high energy don't be afraid to let me know. I am well equipped for that as I have a golden retriever myself.

A typical day

We do a 30 minute walk in the morning and one in the evening before sunset. They go out to use the restroom every 4 hours. During the day when they are inside they have unlimited access to water, toys, beds and ac. Not to mention spoiled with attention from the humans.

Availability

Pet care is my thing. I always have the community's pets coming and going in my home. Whether that be boarding, daycare, transport, you name it. My schedule tends to be pretty tight. Best results if I get a 2 week notice, however it is not needed as I try to take everyone last minute or not. I keep 2-3 pets a day, if I can fit your pet in I will!
