The facility is clean, well-organized, and full of fun activities to keep the dogs engaged. My dog, a French Bulldog, is not the easiest so early socialization was a must. We have been going to Tails by the Wayside for 3 years now and I always feel confident knowing he's in good hands! For daycare, there are plenty of play areas, both indoors and outdoors, so dogs of all sizes can have fun safely. The staff members are always keeping a watchful eye on the dogs. As a small business, I know my dog isn't just a paycheck. They truly care about him and his wellbeing, which is not something you find easily!! I board my dog at least 6 times a year, sometimes for 2 weeks at a time. There are not many places I trust to board, so I'm so thankful to Heather and her team! The drop off and pickup process is so easy. They make sure to follow the medication and feeding schedule. I am always able to enjoy my trips without any worries, knowing my pup was getting personalized care. I highly recommend Tails by the Wayside to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and loving place for their dog. Their attention to detail and the comfort they provide both for pets and their owners is unmatched!!

What a fantastic service…read more Madaglia Pet Care had our dog, Moose, for a week as we left for vacation. Extremely flexible with drop off and pick up time which was a real bonus compared to a lot of other pet care services. We knew that our dog was in great hands with a wonderful family.

We can't wait to use the service again.

Ken is professional, accommodating and trustworthy, he will definitely be my go to pet sitter for as long as I'm in the area.

I can't say enough good things about Mary Littlefield who takes care of our very timid cat when we…read moretravel, which we do often. Miss Violet usually streaks upstairs when she hears a car pull into the driveway, and there she keeps watch from the top step, expecting pillage and mayhem and the demise of us all .... unless it's Mary. Then she comes downstairs quickly and purrs loudly while directing long, meaningful glances toward her sitter. She's utterly shameless in her admiration for Mary. We try to ignore Miss Violet's outlandish behaviour, but sometimes wonder if we should spend more time at home -- put a little damper on this foolish infatuation. There was a crisis three years ago when Miss Violet swallowed a long string, and we weren't due back for another week. Mary handled the situation beautifully and kept us abreast of what was going on before and after the procedure to remove it. (Thanks, Mary!) Mary has apologized for endearing herself so to Miss Vi, and we forgive her wholeheartedly. She's become indispensable to our gadabout family. I can't recommend Mary Littlefield highly enough to anyone who travels and needs to leave a shy kitty at home.

Myself being a retired dog walker, I tagged along with Mary one week. I saw many different animals…read morein many different situations. Most notable was a dog whose owners were away on a 3 week trip, and Mary was hired to take care of him three times a day. This dog was clearly depressed without his owners. Mary cheered him right up and stayed extra hours with him. She took photos of him and sent them to his owners. Mary understood his emotions and was able to comfort him. At another house there were two cats. When we arrived, they were hiding. Once Mary was there, they came running out. Mary doesn't just feed cats and go, she stays and pets them, plays with them, sits with them and puts them in her lap. What was apparent was how every animal loved and trusted her. She was able to be kind and gentle, but was also able to be firm and set boundaries with dogs that got out of control. You will love Mary's services!

Our consult was with Nance, and she was very patient in explaining the process and talking us through some initial things that we were struggling with. Then, we started with a training package that included 3 private training classes and 2 months of group obedience classes. We also went to a few puppy kindergarten classes. Nicole did the majority of our trainings and she has been a god-sent. She is very good with the dogs, and her energy level makes the training classes fun both for us and our dog. We learned a lot from Nicole and she helped us to feel a lot less stressed out and actually enjoy the puppyhood. The obedience class is set up like a monthly subscription, where you can go to as many classes as you want. We end up going about 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes, as it is a great activity to mentally exercise our dog and provide socialization while working alongside other dogs. We also started bringing our dog to their dog day camp 2x a week. Tim was also very patient in explaining the process. The dog day camp has been great in getting her to play with other dogs and allows her to learn obedience from others aside from us.
