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.
