Our Story
Waggitytails began as a dream – a dream to provide a safe, loving environment for furry friends while their humans are away. Born out of a lifelong passion for animals of all kinds, Waggitytails started as a small doggy daycare in 2018, catering to the needs of small breed dogs.
With a motto of “We care for your fur babies as if they were our own,” Waggitytails offered a cozy home away from home. The dogs spent their days roaming freely, playing, and bonding, with plenty of toys, treats, and even doggy pools to keep them happy. As the business grew, so did the Waggitytails family. An upgrade to a new location allowed even more furry friends to experience the Waggitytails difference.
Our Purpose
Waggitytails provides loving, personalized pet care that ensures furry family members remain healthy and happy while their owners are away.
