Happy tails is a reliable and safe place for our dog to play or be boarded. We've used HT several times in the last few years and it's been a hassle free and satisfying experience knowing that they're going to take good care of our pup while we're away. Booking, payment etc. is conveniently done online and webcams available to see what the dogs are up to. Absolute professionals!

Can't be happier about the quality of service provided by the folks at happy tails. We bring our golden retriever here weekly and he always comes home happy and exhausted. When in a pinch for boarding, happy tails is always here to bail us out.
