From the owner: Doo Diligence specializes in pet waste removal, dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight care…read more Drop-ins and overnight visits are not just for dogs and cats. We are happy to care for other pets in your home, including exotic and less traditional animals.

The staff has over ten years of animal care experience, working at two daycare and boarding facilities as well as a veterinary clinic. What sets us apart is our judgment-free approach. While we care for pets like they are our own, we also connect with their human parents. We understand that life can get hectic and there is no reason to feel judged for needing a helping hand. What matters is that you care enough to find someone you can trust to step in when you cannot, and that is exactly what we are here for.

Tina didn't just show up--she *committed*. Rain or shine, five days a week, she drove nearly 25 miles *each way* for a single walk. That's not just dedication; that's borderline sainthood in the dog-walking world. She was responsive, professional, and took the job seriously--like she was walking the Queen's corgi, not just our slightly neurotic rescue. Communication was clear, updates were timely, and we always felt our pup was in good hands. In an age where "reliability" is as rare as a politician with a conscience, Tina stands out. Highly recommend.

It was so important to us that our two pups be included on our big day, and Madeline made sure they were both included and so lovingly cared for. One of our pups is 15 years old and as anxious, adoring pawrents we were worried about her ability to navigate our wedding venue and the excitement of the day. Those worries quickly dissipated because Madeline cared for both our pups as if they were her own, and we effusively recommend Happy Bark & Tails to anyone who loves their pup and can't imagine their wedding day without them.

My now-husband and I were in the midst of planning our wedding when we decided to adopt our beautiful puppy, Oreo, and we wanted to ensure that he could be a part of our wedding. Thank goodness we found Happy Bark & Tails. From our first meeting, the owner, Madeline, was informative, and caring, gave us a clear idea of what to expect on our wedding day, and took the time to answer all our questions. Every step of the way, Madeline was patient, responsive, and put us at ease. We even scheduled a meet-and-greet a few weeks before the wedding with Madeline and her husband, Gabriel, who is also a co-owner of the business. We were certain that they would not only care for Oreo but treat him like their own baby. On the day of our wedding, Madeline and Gabriel arrived at our hotel and immediately took care of Oreo. They put on his cute "best dog" scarf and bow tie and handled him while my husband and I got ready for our wedding. They walked him, fed him, played with him, helped him pose for pictures with us, and treated Oreo like family. They transported him to the venue, took him back to our hotel, and stayed with him until we got back. We couldn't have asked for a better company or people to work with! They also documented our wedding day with photos from Oreo's perspective. The gallery of photos was beautiful and something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend Happy Bark & Tails for all your wedding pet care needs. They were great to work with and we have already recommended them to another couple!
