Happy Tails Dog Day Care

ABOUT US

Welcome to Happy Tails Dog Daycare, the premier doggie day camp.

Welcome to Happy Tails Home Dog Daycare—where dogs come to play, socialize, and thrive!

We’re proud to be the only truly cage-free, fully transparent facility in the area. With nothing to hide, your pup is free to run, jump, chase fur friends, and play all day in our open-concept indoor and outdoor spaces. Our massive outdoor yard features top-quality artificial turf for a clean, safe, and fun experience, while indoors feels just like home—with natural light, cozy couches, cots, and TVs playing Dog TV.

At Happy Tails, your dog is never stuck in a crate. Instead, they enjoy the freedom to be themselves in a loving, supervised environment. Our amazing staff doesn’t just watch dogs—they bond with them, care for them, and treat them like their own.

Here’s what our customers say:
“My dog comes home happy, tired, and well-exercised every single time!”
“The staff is incredible—they truly love what they do, and it shows!”
“Once we found Happy Tails, we never went anywhere else. Total peace of mind knowing my dog is loved and safe.”

This is where dogs go for vacation—and once they experience the fun, freedom, and love at Happy Tails, they won’t want to go anywhere else.

At our dog day care center we offer cage-free daycare because we believe that crate-free play contributes to happiness and agility. Your dog can run, jump, chase friends, and play to their heart’s content. The open concept and natural daylight make our facility feel like a home away from home, complete with couches, cots, and TVs showing Dog TV.

Our Facility includes: 

– 15,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor play areas.
– A prime open concept for dogs to enjoy.
– Comfortable climate-controlled accommodations.
– Access to various activities.
– Premier open concept design for optimal viewing.
– attentive care, ensuring your dog is always in good hands.
– The BSE AIRMAX HEPA N Commercial Ambient Air Cleaner Sanitizer for clean and sanitized air.

At Happy Tails, dogs don’t just stay—they play, relax, and get loved like family. We’ve got bacon bubbles, 50-ball tennis drops, frisbees, tunnels, ramps, and plenty of furry friends.

When it’s time to relax, your pup can lounge on a couch or cot and watch Dog TV. No cages—just freedom, fun, and care from a staff that treats your dog like their own.

As we grow, we’re deeply grateful for referrals from loyal customers and local veterinary hospitals.

Vets recommend us. Dogs love us. Come see why Happy Tails is their favorite place to play!

Be sure to join our Facebook page to watch live videos all day long—our dog parents love seeing their pups in action!

Sincerely,
Steve Gillis
Proprietor

Meet Steve Gillis – Owner of Happy Tails Home Dog Daycare

A lifelong dog lover, experienced handler, and the heart behind Happy Tails.

Steve’s journey with dogs began as a kid, raising and showing Boxers in AKC events. His bond with dogs was so strong it even landed him on the front page of a local paper in a story titled “A Boy & His Dog.”

From Labradors to Shih Tzus, Bulldogs to Pekingese, Steve has spent his life around dogs—learning their needs, respecting their personalities, and loving every minute of it.

When Steve built Happy Tails, he designed it with your dog’s happiness and safety in mind. That’s why there are no cages—ever. Just open space, natural light, and room to run, play, and relax. Everything about Happy Tails was created to be transparent for dog parents, with live Facebook videos streamed throughout the day, so you can see exactly how much fun your pup is having.

When you leave your dog with us, you’re not handing them off to just anyone—you’re trusting a professional dog handler with decades of experience, and a staff that shares that same passion. Your dog is in loving, capable hands.

As we continue to grow, we’re thankful for the support of our loyal families and the referrals from local veterinarians. We know how much your dog means to you—and we’re honored to be their home away from home.

Warm regards,
Steve Gillis
Owner & Dog Lover for Life

Boarding is Range Free, it’s truly a Pawjama party!! 

Boarding with us is all about freedom – it’s a Pawjama party at Happy Tails! Our philosophy is simple: when your dog is with us, they’re on vacation, and we want them to have as much fun as you do on your getaway. Your dog’s comfort matters, so they can sleep wherever they prefer – whether it’s on dog beds, cots, or even couches (yes, our dogs are allowed on the couches!). And if they feel cozier in their own crate, we’re more than happy to accommodate. Ensuring your dog’s safety and comfort during their vacation at our facility is our top priority.
