What Reviews Say
100 reviews analyzedWags and Tails Kennel is a highly recommended facility with an exceptional 82% five-star rating. The owner Peter is frequently praised for his caring nature, patience with anxious/reactive dogs, and accommodating service. The unique indoor/outdoor run setup and individual dog spaces make it ideal for dogs with behavioral challenges. The main concerns are occasional cleanliness complaints (urine smell, poop cleanup) and some handling concerns during drop-off/pickup. Despite these issues, the overwhelming majority of customers are loyal, long-term clients who appreciate the reasonable pricing, flexible scheduling, and the obvious love the staff shows to pets.
