Going on vacation? Dog boarders through Wag! are available to care for your pup whenever you're not. Every dog boarder has passed an enhanced background check. Get updates and photos through the app from the pet boarder while you are away.
Deana was fantastic! She kept us updated throughout our fur baby s stay and was able to accommodate us last minute, which we truly appreciated. It gave us great peace of mind while we were away. This was our second time booking with her, and we ve already scheduled a third stay. We would highly recommend Deana to anyone looking for reliable and caring dog boarding!

We had a last minute need to board our dogs and Avyon helped us out so much. We got regular updates and our pups looked so happy. We have pups that sometimes need a little patience and correcting and Avyon was great. We will def book again with her for our next trip.

Avyon was so caring and sweet and took great care of my kids! When I went to pick them up, they were all over her and so obsessed that it made me feel really good knowing the babies were in good hands while I was traveling!

Deana was the absolute best. Our first WAG experience and we are over the moon happy with Trooper s boarding. Deana took the time to meet us, shared her home and made sure Trooper was comfortable before his stay. During the boarding, Deana was communicative, shared photos and videos of our baby boy and kept us up to date on how he was doing overall during the week (which was great). We immediately booked another stay with Deana while still on vacation because we were so happy with how she was treating Trooper. Can t recommend Deana enough to anyone looking to board their fur baby. We hope to have found a permanent pup sitter for Trooper! She even sent him home with a little toy surprise, so sweet! Thank you again, Deana! He can t wait to see you again in August.

We can t thank Raquel and her family enough for taking care of Pixi! She sent plenty of updates and made sure she was well loved! Also very organized and had a packing list and printed report card at the end of her stay!

Annie was super amazing. I like photos and I received them daily. Sky and Shadow had a blast. I would highly recommend Annie she loves them like her own. We will be utilizing her superb services again in July.

Deana was amazing with our anxious boy. It was clear from the videos and photos that he really enjoyed his stay with her. Not only was she professional and responsive, but she was also super nice! Chase will be returning!
