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.
We had a great experience with Casey. He provided daily updates with photos, followed feeding schedules carefully, and communicated clearly and promptly. Would absolutely book again.

Warm & Professional Sarah was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of my pet and kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. Very reliable, kind, and professional. I would 100% book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy caregiver.

Michelle was amazing with our pups! You could tell she really cared about making the pups comfortable- asking about their schedules and preferences! She communicated with us and sent photos - and was flexible with getting items they needed and our travel delays! Highly recommended!!

The absolute best pet parents ever! Asara and partner have cared for my dog, Marley several times and I have nothing but great things to say as they are caring, attentive, extremely knowledgeable, loving and very supportive in every aspect. My dog always comes home very happy and totally at peace which speaks volumes! We are fortunate and grateful to have Asara care for our fur baby
