I want to take a moment to recognize and recommend Wags Whispers for anyone looking for outstanding care for their dog. Lex has stayed with them before, and this time they've cared for him for an entire week while we're out of town. I cannot say enough about the quality of care they provide. They have a beautiful home with plenty of space, a huge outdoor area for the dogs, walks, and even a swimming pool for dogs who enjoy swimming. They send pictures, give personal attention, and even provide a special keepsake photo. What impresses me just as much is that their rates remain very reasonable. There are places charging considerably more that don't provide nearly the personal experience that Wags Whispers does. When you're leaving a member of your family in someone else's care, peace of mind is priceless. I can leave Lex with them and know that he's safe, comfortable, loved, and being well cared for. So here's my personal recommendation: if you're looking for dependable, loving dog care, check out Wags Whispers. They are absolutely worth supporting. Thank you, Wags Whispers, for taking such good care of Lex!

Sandra and Mark take such wonderful care of Hank! He loves going to stay with them and is always so happy to be dropped off. Mark and Sandra are dog people through and through, and take such good care of Hank. I cannot recommend their service enough!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 16, 2026

Really nice folks and great fence in setup. Less than 12 hour notice and they said yes to watching our girl for the day while we rafted and ziplined throigh whitewater express. Next time we pass through there’s fun activities and good people we’ll trust again

Safety, trust & environment

We have a completely fenced in Backyard ( 6ft privacy ) our 4 Dogs are used to other dogs utilizing the yard while they are inside. We also have part of the yard with an additional fence which leads to a separate entrance to the house - meaning those babies we watch can have their own yard. We offer big Kennel Space with an elevated Bed - heat; a/c; TV some even decided last Summer to swim in our Pool which we are perfectly ok with :-) Our dogs are all fixed, UTD and on monthly preventative for flea and tick medicine - and always happy to have an additional fur friend join the walks. We had hospice dogs in the past and also quite a few fosters recovering from surgery and ok with giving daily medicine (not including shots)

Pets

A typical day

In the summer they can either use the in-ground pool or kiddie pool. We have a big yard that has a 6ft privacy fence offering ample space to play fetch. We stay close to a track so having daily walks and sniffari are definitely available. And for those little couch potatoes well they are more than welcome to enjoy doing what they love to do :-). But mental stimulation such as Kongs, puzzles are also available.

We know shy and rescue dogs can have a hard time, if their have a trigger we would like to know that way we can adjust accordingly. Such as vacuum or even such as the fact some are terrified of hats. If your Baby is allergic to food or like one of ours to “sky raisins” that is also important for us to know.
