I have to take the time to thank Judi, Timothy, and the entire team at Wagon Tail Ranch for such an amazing boarding and daycare experience! The level of professionalism, excitement, and true love these humans have for dogs is so comforting. Our Chihuahua puppy, Iris, looks forward to coming to Wagon Tail each time, and she comes home ready for a long, long nap! The team takes time to send photos each day, and that has put a smile on our faces. It's evident that Iris has some of the best days of her life at Wagon Tail, and we are grateful. read more

Wagon Tail Ranch - Pet Boarding Near Me - Woodland Hills, California

WTR is an absolutely wonderful place for our dogs! Judi and the rest of the team are SO loving and dog-smart. Our Finny was super hesitant to attend daycare, and the staff was immediately understanding and respectful of his fears. They encouraged him, had him start out playing with smaller dogs (as he was just a young pup), and as a result, Finny quickly grew to LOVE his doggy day care days. Now, when I mention "The Ranch," Finny happily runs to the garage door, excited to spend time at this fun and safe doggy heaven. read more

It's been 4-5 years now. I check every year to see if I can board my golden retriever at this ranch. They always give me excuses, tell me to check back and refer me to another place.....that other place they referred me to cost me an $800 vet visit this past year. Horrible, horrible recommendation! Long story short, I've messaged the business multiple times with hopes they will accept my pup. Of course they respond quickly on yelp but always ghost me and never respond after they ask me to email their business directly. Very unprofessional and disappointing. Done waiting around. read more

Wagon Tail Ranch has been an absolute blessing to us. Our puppy, Emi, has had a couple of wonderful play dates and will be boarding there soon. Judi, the owner, is super-kind and welcoming as are the professional and compassionate staff that assist. The facility is clean and the business is run very professionally and amazingly organized. read more

So grateful we found this place, my dog had the best time there. really grateful for the owners and staff. They communicated updates and photos of my dog during his time there. The run a really amazing facility for the doggies. Just makes me so happy to know he has a loving place to go while I work. read more

Judy is so awesome. They send home pics of the dogs at the end of the day and they are always so funny. My dogs can't keep their eyes open when they come home because they are so exhausted. Clearly a happy place to send your fur babies. read more

My most favorite place for my dogs. i have a very active , actually crazy, year old Springer Spaniel. Left her in the care of Tim & Judi and staff for two weeks. Return defined, calmer, easier, and happier Dog, who is now easy to settle. Thank you to Tim & Judi. Don't know how they did it, but very glad they did. read more

I don't know if there are enough words to describe how I feel about Wagon Tail Ranch. I wouldn't trust any other humans with my dogs. Judi and Tim and the entire staff of amazing dog lovers will take care of your dogs beyond what you could ever have imagined. I've been taking my dogs here for 5 years now. They communicate with you via email with amazing pictures and updates On how much fun your dogs are having. They are attentive, compassionate, thoughtful and the most amazing loving people. When we pull into the driveway my dogs go crazy. They jump out of the car never even looking back at me. I know my dogs are safe and loved. If you're looking for daycare for your dog for a day trip, a weekend getaway or a long trip give them a call. You won't be sorry. You'll rest easy with your pups here. read more

If I were a dog, this is the only day care I would want to go to. As someone who LOVES her dogs as if they were human, I wouldn't settle for anything less for my fur babes. Wagon Tail Ranch is by far the most considerate, professional, LOVING, and nurturing doggie day care I've ever taken my dogs to... and take it from me as I've traveled and lived in many states and seen plenty of places that claim to be animal lovers... this establishment truly is the most wonderful and SAFE place your dogs can stay while you're away. Thank you for having such kind hearts! read more

I REALLY wish it was possible to leave more than 5 stars for Wagon Tail Ranch. I'm not even sure where to start. The owners, Judi and Tim are wonderful and attentive. Everyone there is so professional. It's immediately obvious they know dogs and they LOVE them. It is large and clean. Lot's of room for the dogs to play. It's so well run that it inspires confidence in leaving our loved ones there. All the staff have been there for a long time which tells me that they're there because they love what they're doing. I have a doberman who hates day care so I rarely leave her in boarding. Everyone here took the time to get to know her and catered to her temperament. Daily, they sent me wonderful photos with an update on how she was doing. She had such a great time! Now that she's home (back to regular life), I think she is missing her friends and all the attention she got at Wagon Tail Ranch. I'll have to make time to take her there for day care. I am beyond thankful to everyone there for the loving care they provided to my four legged daughter. Wagon Tail Ranch and everyone there is a blessing. read more

Wonderful enriching experience for your dog. I love how they have separate play areas for little dogs, big dogs, and seniors. Judi is one of those people who really loves animals and has built an environment that takes the dogs' best interests to heart. My hope is that my 8 month old dog will come to understand that she is in fact an actual dog and not a spazzy furball attached to my leg at all times. If anyplace can accomplish this, I think it's Wagon Tail Ranch. read more

Wagon Tail Ranch - Wait. I'm a dog? - Pet Boarding Near Me - Woodland Hills, California

I have nothing but positive things to say about Judi & Tim and the entire Wagon Tail Ranch team! Our Lucy absolutely loves her time there. Nothing beats the peace of mind of knowing your cherished dog is in good hands when you are away, and whenever we drop her off at Wagon Tail we know she will have a fantastic time and be as well cared for as though she was home with us. Judi & Tim are special people, in that this is more than a business for them. They truly and sincerely love the dogs that come into their care. We love to get pictures of Lucy's days at Wagon Tail - in every single shot we can see that she's having a great time. They have a large property, and our dog loves running and playing with the new friends she makes at every visit. We like knowing that Judi & Tim screen the dogs to ensure no aggressive dogs will be present. We also like knowing that Lucy isn't just stuck in a kennel with periodic visits out - unlike other boarding options, at Wagon Tail, Lucy gets to just be a dog and enjoy nature. Wagon Tail Ranch - thank you for taking SUCH good care of Lucy this weekend! We know she is looking forward to her next stay with you. read more

Judi, Timothy and their team take THE BEST care of our pups, Kea & Loa any time we leave town. We've been taking our dogs to Wagon Tail Ranch for over 2 years now!!! We know that both Kea and Loa LOVE it here because when we pull into their driveway, our relatively shy dogs wag their tails like crazy and run up to Judi and Tim like they are family!! It's like summer camp for our dogs here! They get to play with other dogs and run around freely outside in the huge yard or inside in the house getting love from Judi, Tim and the gang. By the time we pick them up and come home, they are super exhausted from running around and playing so hard! It's great for socializing your dog too. Our dogs are like our children so it's really awesome that we can leave town knowing that Kea and Loa are not just in good hands, but having a BLAST! We even get email updates and pictures to show us how much fun they're having. I don't know what we would do without Wagon Tail Ranch!!! Thank you Judi and Timothy and team!! read more

We started bringing our dog to Wagon Tail Ranch about a month ago and we couldn't be happier with our choice for doggy daycare. We were initially referred to this daycare by a friend and chose it because it is one of the few that is outdoor and not exclusively indoor like others in the area. Needless to say, we are extremely happy with our choice! You can tell how passionate Judy is about the business and how much she seriously loves these pups. From her daily emails with pictures to meaningful updates about your puppy's behavior and health concerns, it's clear that your puppy's comfort and enjoyment are being prioritized. My 6 month old aussie comes home exhausted everyday and that says a lot with the amount of energy this breed has. We hope to keep bringing our girl here for years to come. read more

We took our dog here for a year while living in LA. Very professional place and very good to our dog. The staff were always friendly and understanding. We felt that the rules while sometimes inconvenient made sense because unfortunately we live in a world were people lack common sense and rules become necessary, all of us dog included appreciated the happy, safe and efficient end result. Thank you all for everything! :) read more

This is my dogs happy place! They have the most loving and caring staff and owners. When my dog got attacked by another dog near my house Kirsten and Judi were the first people I called for help. We are so lucky that our dog is so well loved and taken care of read more

The staff at Wagon Tail ranch is fabulous! They are so welcoming and have so much love for my dog. We went out of town and left him over the weekend. I emailed the following morning to see how he did. Judi responded immediately and informed me in depth how his night went. They sent pictures of how much fun he was having during the day. He loves running around in the backyard with all his new friends. I'm so happy I found this wonderful place for him. read more

My 4 month old puppy went to Wagon Tail for daycare for the 1st time on 9/2/18. Thank you so much for taking such good care of him. He came home happy and exhausted from making new friends and playing. Thank you Judi for your evaluation process, and thank you to all the staff. I loved all the pictures you sent, it's obvious that all of you care about the dogs. Hoping to come back and bring my other dog too! read more

All the positive reviews really highlight how great everyone at Wagon Tail Ranch is, but I'll add one more. Superlatives aside, the best evidence I have of how great they are is that we have been taking our lab there 2-3x per week for the last 9 months. When you add up the cost, it certainly isn't cheap, but the exercise and socialization has been absolutely priceless. Plus we really like that Judi & Timothy have a LARGE yard for all the dogs to play together. The team is great about responding to email quickly, and will even send you pictures of your pooch playing during the day. I would recommend Wagon Tail without reservation. read more

Scooby loves it here! Judi, Tim, and all the staff are just wonderful. She keeps her place clean and safe for the doggies. Her evaluation ensures no aggressive dogs are there so you can rest easy your puppy is well taken care of. I'm so happy I found Wagon Tail! read more

Clearly I am not the only person that thinks this place is outstanding. The staff are warm and loving, the facility is clean and well maintained. There is ample room for the dogs to run and play. My dog LOVES going here and if I don't take him for a couple days he becomes depressed :( Wagon Tails is the best treat I can give my dog. read more

I have not tried their services mainly because the owner did not give me a chance. What I mean by that is I emailed the owner about enrolling my puppy into the doggie daycare and provided her with all the necessary information she needed to know about my dog. I get an email back right away from the owner saying: "Unfortunately we are full right now and are unable to accept new doggies at this time or daycare or boarding. We were only able to accept a few new dogs at the beginning of this year and now our waiting list is full. I'm so sorry". I then ask her if my puppy can get on a waiting list and she writes back saying that their waiting list is completely packed as well. Since I wasn't born yesterday I realized she was obviously not being honest. My puppy is a chow and I knew she discriminated against enrolling her because of her breed. This is all fine had she just been honest and told me they dont accept certain breeds. I know certain daycares have policies where they don't accept certain breeds and had the owner been upfront about it I would have completely understood. My puppy has been to many daycares and never has she ever had any issues. To confirm her dishonesty my friend emailed her about a day after I did and asked to enroll her golden retriever puppy. My friend on the other hand receives an email back within less than 5 min about how they have openings for an evaluation. So what happened to being full and not enrolling any new dogs? Why isn't she put on a waitlist? I would have appreciated an honest answer rather than giving me the run around about some lie. I'm very disappointed with this establishment. If the owners can lie so easily imagine if anything were to go wrong with my dog while at their care they could easily lie and cover themselves about something that happened. read more

It's now been 8 years, still going. We now have 4 pups, all know wagon tail and love it. So happy to have a place like this. Dogs pretty much run into the gate they are so excited. Top notch! read more

Wagon Tail Ranch has become our extended family. My 4 year old Chocolate Lab LOOOOOVES it there. Judi, Tim and the staff are AWESOME and have helped me feel so at ease in their love for my dog (who is my world). I trust them explicitly. read more

Wagon Tail Ranch is a one of a kind day care for your precious pooch. If you are looking for a wonderful place to leave your dogs look no further, they are outstanding. I have tried other places and they don't even compare to Wagon tails. Your dog will have genuine love and attention, Judi and her team get to know them and their individual needs. I have never felt so comfortable leaving our dogs before..now when we have to go somewhere I know our dogs are going to be so happy, they bound out of the car and go running up to the door ready for fun. I feel so thankful to them for all the love, fun and care my babies have received there. Judi, Timothy and the crew are A plus!!! read more

We love Wagontail - and so does our dog. Lots of space to play - no kennels, no leashes, just a big beautiful backyard. Dogs get to sleep in the house - ours even worked its way to sleep in the bedroom! We feel lucky to have found this place and highly recommend it. read more

Took my dog Fonzi too Wagon Trail ranch while I was on vacation and I came to pick him up he almost didn't want to leave love this place everyone is so good with dogs there I will definitely be returning Don owner of classic toys in studio city read more

Our dog Roscoe loves this place so much we have to spell out the owner's name in front on him or he will know exactly what we are talking about and think he's going there! He has so much fun playing with all of his friends and comes home exhausted... It's great! We have left him for as long as week when we went on vacations and felt totally confident that he was happy and taken care of as they send us regular photos/video via email! Only problem we have is that he gets sad when he gets home because he loves it there so much! If you're looking for a safe place to take your pet that you can trust.... look no further....Wagon Tail is the last stop! :) read more

What an amazing place! Our doggies Diego and Isla can't get enough of Wagon Tail. We take them there for day care and boarding and they get so excited when they realize they're going to visit Judi,Tim and their wonderful, caring and professional team. They really are the best! We just took a 10 day vacation, and had no worries about our beloved doggies . We constantly got updates, videos and pictures! We feel that their goal is always to make sure our dogs are safe, happy and having a good time. I would give them 10 stars if I could. They've always gone out of their way to make my dogs feel special. Note to Judi... Diego is in love with you. read more

I love the Wagon Tail Ranch family. More importantly, my 10-month-old Golden Doodle, Jasper, can't get enough of everyone (and every dog) at the Ranch. Judi, Tim and the entire staff are terrific. They treat Jasper very kindly. He has been coming to Wagon Tail for day care on average at least one day per week since he was about 4-1/2 months old. When he was 8-1/2 months old, we entrusted them with his care for five full days (and four nights). He had the time of his life. And while I was away and missing him, I received daily update photos and/or videos to keep me connected and assure me that he was doing great. (And, I learned, he is better behaved at Wagon Tail than he is at home!) Jasper knows when he's heading to Wagon Tail Ranch - he has the drive in the car down. When we get about a mile away, he starts to whine. When we pull onto the street and then into the drive, he begins to bark and wants to leap out of the car and into their home. He won't even look back to say goodbye! At the end of the day he is so exhausted from his activities that he is happy to see me and come home. He usually falls right to sleep in the car. The Wagon Tail Ranch staff love their guests and treat them as their own. I want Jasper to have a good social experience with other dogs, but don't want the risks you face with the unknowns at a dog park. Judi and Tim are very particular about the dogs' vaccinations, and they are very conscientious about how the different personalities interact. I'm very comfortable that my dog is in a safe environment at Wagon Tail Ranch. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Wagon Tail Ranch. Our dog, Jackson is a rescue dog who started coming to Wagon Tail at 6 months old. He was hesitant toward men when we rescued him. Wagon Tail worked with him and made him comfortable with men instead of turning him away because he barked at them. We would take Jackson to daycare at least once a week. He LOVED it. Judi and her staff took such great care of him. She even sent pictures of his day and him having such a great time with friends. I was always confident when leaving Jackson at The Ranch. He would get so excited each time we pulled up and I had to drag him to the car when we picked him up as he always wanted to stay because he was having so much fun. We recently moved to Texas and have been unsuccessful in finding a place that loves and cares for Jackson like Judi and her staff did. I will forever be grateful for Wagon Tail Ranch and the phenomenal experience we had when going there! read more

My pup, hubby, and I all love WTR! Our pup Dakota has been going for daycare and play dates once per week for the past 9 months. We also boarded her there this past week while we were on vacation. The staff is so friendly and caring and treat your dog as their own. I can't say enough nice things about this place and have referred several people to them. They even email you pics daily while your dog is boarded and sometimes will send them for daycare too! :) My pup can't get out of the car fast enough when we pull up, which shows us how much she loves it there! Thank you WTR for such a great experience! read more

We LOVE Wagon Tail! Judi and the entire staff are so sweet and loving to our puppy Ladybug! We completely trust the staff and know our dog is safe there! Ladybug cant wait to get out of the car when we pull up to drop her off. She loves Judi and all the staff at Wagon Tail as much as we do! Thank you!! read more

Home away from home for our puppy. I have gone to visit 5 dog day care / boarding facilities from Santa Monica to Topanga, Woodland Hills. We needed to board Kiki, our 5 month old female english shepherd (herder like a border collie) for the first time for 10 days. Kiki was anxious during the temperament test, and I was worried that she wouldn't pass Judi's standards. Judi recommended that I bring her back for a day play date the next day so she could see her behavior when I am not around. Thank goodness with Judi's expertise, love and care, Kiki felt comfortable the next day to relax a little and have fun! I brought her back every day for 5 days before the trip so that she could get totally used to her home away from home before we left her for 10 days. I will attach a photo of Kiki walking on to Judi's property for the first time looking concerned, and a contrasting picture of Kiki today (4 days later) having a blast with her new friends! In addition to the professional staff and care Kiki is treated to at Wagon Tail Ranch, the grounds and facility is a giant ranch home, so the dogs totally feel like they are at home, and not in some concrete building with cubicles. They sleep in the house on sofas and some of the needier dogs even sleep in bed with Judi! I am so grateful for Judi and her staff, and intend to begin taking my other 2 dogs there as well! read more

I have brought my senior dog here since 2009-2012. She was a dog that has never been left alone. When my husband & I joined a car club we new we had to find a place for our baby. We introduced "Lexi" our Weimaraner to Judi &Tim & the gang and never had a doubt, that this was the place for her. For a dog that never left home and had separation anxiety issues, she flourished in the atmosphere at Wagon Tail Ranch. Each time we took her there she was confident, excited and came home well & happy! She had many good times at the ranch which will be fondly remembered. Today we are happy to say we have a 8 month old Weimaraner named "Lacey" and she too has been a regular at the ranch for a few months now and we cannot be happier again to report that she is happy, excited and very well taken care of. Our dog is not perfect or well mannered yet and has some sleeping disorder issues but Judi & Tim don't give up or complain that she's a handful, instead they do what they can to accommodate your dog so the overall experience isn't a stressful one. So if your dog is young or old, don't hesitate, Wagon Tail has experience with all ages. Judi has also recommended the best trainers which I am currently using with amazing affects. Judi has a lot of knowledge and is always willing to give advice when she can. Thank you Wagon Tail Ranch for taking my babies and caring for them as if they were yours. You are truly appreciated by us and we are grateful to have you! Oh and I forgot, get ready to receive the most adorable pictures ever of your dog having fun at the Ranch. Judi is very passionate about e-mailing you the best photos ever of your dog. Lacey has even become a sensation when one of her photos went viral on Wagon Tails Ranch facebook page. She's a star! Thanks Judi. We love you guys. Warren, Lana & Lacey. read more

5 stars isn't enough for this team. We took our dog to a few places around and could always tell he was miserable, along with our research of how the places operate. When we found Wagon Tail we felt so relieved because we could travel without worrying. He couldn't be in better hands. read more

I bring my 5 month old pup Ruby here for both daycare and playdates. She can't contain herself the second we pull up. This place is the dog equivalent to child daycare so don't think you are going to just ring them up the day before and drop your dog off. You must fill out an application, make an appt. for a consultation to make sure your dog will be a good fit. They will not let your dog in the door without proof of vaccinations in hand so you better bring those. I had no problem "jumping through hoops" as some other negative reviewer put it. I know my dog is well cared for and I also am certain that everyone else who brings their dog there has also had to jump through hoops and their dog is healthy and well behaved. Everyone that works there that I have dealt with have been wonderful. Ruby sleeps for about 12 hours straight after a day at the ranch! Thanks guys! read more

We have been bringing our dog here since he was 3 months old and we absolutely could not say enough about how wonderful wagontail is. When he was a puppy, they were great about slowly socializing our dog Gatsby. Now that he is a year old, he is so excited when he goes to Wagontail. It's obvious he has such a good time and it makes us feel comfortable when leaving him. We use both their day care and boarding services. When we board him, we know he is having his own vacation which makes us feel less guilty about leaving him. Judi and team treat all the dogs like their own family. We bring his bed and he sleeps in that when boarded. They always send you photos of your dog during the day which is something my husband and I really look forward to when he is there. Could not recommend them enough! read more

Due to Wagon Tail's popularity, I'm unable to write a review about their dog services until they start accepting news dogs next year but I am writing this review based on their wonderful communication and customer service skills. I reached out to Wagon Tails in search of a dog boarding company for my 1 year old rescue. Judi was prompt in her response, explained there was a waitlist of dogs until next year but recommended other places in the area I could check - something she certainly isn't obligated to do. Since this is the first time I am looking to board my dog, Judi's communication and recommendations were so helpful. I can't wait for my dog to visit Wagon Tails in the future. read more
