Happy Tails Doggy Daycare/Overnight
Pet care experience
Welcome to Happy Tails, your pup's home away from home! We all know how stressful large daycares and kennel facilities can be, so my mission is to provide a home style, open environment where your fur baby is safe to play and rest. With a maximum of 8 dogs and a careful screening process, your dog will get the attention and care they need. This is a safe home for LGBTQIA+/BIPOC people. In the Before-times, I volunteered regularly at the Humane Society of Western MT where I practiced positive-reinforcement training and on-leash walks. Most recently, I worked at one of Missoulas leading daycares where I would look after up to 50 dogs at any given time!
Reviews
I received regular and thorough updates as well ad many pictures. Rachel did an amazing job taking care of my pup. I highly recommend!
My crazy dog pack (includes a puppy) loved their stay! I appreciated the pictures and communication. I definitely recommend Rachel!!!
Rachel is awesome! So thoughtful in how she introduces new dogs to her home and her other dogs. Breezy had a great day with Rachel, great experience for me and Breezy. :-)
My boys had a lovely time with Miss Rachel. Will definitely be happy for them to stay with her again!

Safety, trust & environment
My house is centrally located in Missoula for easy access. I have a large fenced yard and a medium-sized doggy door for quick in and out access during the day. There are no kids in my house, just roommates. I have a limit of boarding 3 dogs/night while daycare has a limit of 4. This allows me to keep a close eye on the pack and ensure attention to detail. Rose is a 3 year old Pointing Griffon and she gets along great with other dogs. She is very playful and would love a wrestling buddy. We also have a fenced chicken coop with 6 hens and another fenced area for our 2 beehives. They are well protected, but if your dog is prone to bird hunting/digging, our yard may be stress-inducing.

Meet and Greets are essential to ensure safety for the pack and required BEFORE day of boarding. Meet and Greets will be at my house to observe behavior around the chickens and give you a chance to view my setup. You can check out some of our adventures on the Gram @CanIPetYourDog_Missoula
A typical day
I have a large fence yard where I supervise playtime. We play tug and lots of fetch. Rose takes take great pride in tuckering out her friends with wrestling and chase. We take walks around the neighborhood 2 at a time for the mental stimulation of all those smells. When it's cold or rainy, we'll usually stay indoors. We've got a big couch if your pup likes to snuggle; otherwise we can practice/learn tricks or play hide-and-seek.

Availability
Overnight boarding is available for 3 dogs at time. 4 daycare slots are available Monday, Thursday, and Friday. I work from home full time to keep an eye on play levels and frequent potty breaks. Approved dogs must be able to be left unattended for a couple hours at a time as dogs can only be walked two at a time.
