Welcome to Stay Waggy!

    Welcome to Stay Waggy! — a private, in-home dog care experience thoughtfully curated by professional trainers who live on-site full-time. This is not a traditional kennel or a high-volume daycare. Our home is never open to the public and accepts only a limited number of dogs at a time.

    By design, we offer an intimate, highly personalized environment where every detail supports your dog’s wellness, mindset, and safety. With structure, intention, and expert oversight woven into each day, dogs receive the kind of care that feels calm, enriching, and truly tailored — not mass-produced.

    What a Stay Actually Looks Like

    • Calm thoughtfully structured days, so dogs return home relaxed, fulfilled, and balanced. Never overstimulated or shut down.
    • Training and guidance seamlessly woven into daily routines, regardless of whether formal training package is booked.
    • Raw-fed and holistic care friendly. With handling that respects each individual dog's needs.
    • Rabies vaccine required, no unnecessary vaccine overload.
    • Environment for all dogs of all temperaments and personalities.


     All guests are carefully approved through a complimentary video or in-person meet & greet prior to scheduling, ensuring the right fit for everyone. 

     Most boarding environments are fast-paced and overstimulating.  At Stay Waggy!, that model doesn’t exist. By keeping our guest list small, we create days that feel unhurried, enriching, and tailored to each dog. 

    •  Safe, cozy crate time inside the house for rest, and overnight safety. 
    • Purposeful decompression and rest built into every day.
    • Frequent thoughtfully managed rotations between small play groups and one-on-one time. 

    Your dog leaves here refreshed and better behaved then when they arrived.


    That's not marketing, that's our standard!
