What Reviews Say

51 reviews analyzed

TailWaggers Inn is highly regarded for its 'bed and breakfast' style boarding, offering a cage-free, home-like environment with a large yard. Customers consistently praise the owner, Deb, for her frequent photo updates, meticulous dog introductions, and ability to care for senior or special-needs pets. While the vast majority of experiences are glowing, there is notable friction regarding a strict cancellation policy during medical emergencies.

Worth noting

Strict/Inflexible cancellation policy regarding medical emergencies

“Deb requested that we provide 'proof of COVID' to get credit for a future stay... this was completely insensitive.”

Refund/Cancellation Policy(2 mentions)

“Deb's informal cancellation policy (written on iPhone note) felt insensitive.”
