Tails R Waggin Doggy Day Care opened in August of 2008 and is owned and operated by Charlie and Juli Gilbert.  Our mission is to provide a safe and fun place for your canine companions to play while their families are busy at work or away.  Our ultimate goal is to provide our customers with the peace of mind that their family members are well taken care of and are having lots of fun.

Our staff takes the time to get to know each dog, their individual personality and what they like to play with or do while at daycare.  We are out with the dogs constantly, switching out the toys, getting the shy dogs to come out of their shells, having fun with all of the ball chasers (who's gonna get it first?) and just cuddling the little ones.  The dog parents tell me that their dogs love "Uncle Charlie" and they mention his name or "doggy daycare" at home in the mornings before daycare and the dogs go crazy!  We get lots of dogs going through all sorts of rehab (surgery recovery, abuse cases, separation issues) and we work with each dog individually to help them recover their health as quickly as possible or become better family members because of past issues.      

We understand the special bond between humans and their animals.  We will treat your pet with the same love and respect that you do.  We sincerely hope to not only earn your business but to also earn your trust and confidence, and to provide you with peace of mind knowing that your pet is receiving the attention and affection they deserve when in our care.
