    “I can't tell you how nerve wracking it is to not have anyone to watch your puppers! Boarding is out of the question so I looked around and found Waggy Tails. Waggy Tails treated my girls like they were part of my family. My sitters sent regular updates and made me feel like my dogs were well taken care of. Thank you so very much!!”

  • Chris R.

    “We love Waggy Tails! Our sitters sends us pictures of our pets daily and even offers to do tasks like making sure the garbage goes out on trash pickup days. This is a business where loving on pets is clearly their passion. Couldn't be happier with Waggy Tails and the peace of mind they give us each and every time.”

  • Nicole L.

    “I couldn't be more thrilled that I came across Waggy Tails for our beach vacation. We planned to be away for a week and we always have some anxiety about friends or family feeling put out if we ask them to take care of our cats for a week. I contacted Waggy Tails and they got back to me quickly to set us up with a sitter whose schedule worked with us and the stress of leaving our cats for a week was alleviated just like that. Our sitters did a wonderful job coming by at consistent times each day, sending us photos so we had peace of mind and making sure our little guys were loved on while we were away. I will absolutely be using their services in the future any time we're going to be away from home for an extended period. I can't say enough good things about this business, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

    “Waggy Tails is great, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone! My husband and I are both from out of state so when we needed to be gone for a weekend having family watch our puppy was out of the question. Finding Waggy Tails was the best thing that ever happened. Puppies need a little extra attention than the regular dog and we definitely didn't want to board him. Waggy Tails was the perfect solution. Ace was able to stay in his own home and the overnight visits were exactly what he needed. He just wasn't able to last from the usual 10pm to 7 or 8am times that a neighbor may be able to check in. Waggy Tails is very reliable and you can trust that your dog will be loved and taken care of while you're away.”
