City Tails NYC

City Tails NYC runs cage-free dog boarding and dog daycare in New York, from a facility at 55B Leroy Street in the West Village.

Dogs are placed in playrooms grouped by age, size, temperament and activity level, so play groups stay evenly matched. The space is temperature-controlled and well ventilated, and the day includes relief walks and access to fresh water.

Services

• Cage-free overnight boarding, at the facility or in the dog's own home
• Dog daycare with indoor play areas
• Grooming
• Pick-up and drop-off transportation, which includes a relief walk
• Puppy care and cat visits

What sets this one apart

Two things stand out. Boarding can happen in the owner's home instead of the facility, which suits dogs who travel badly or need a familiar routine. And staff administer medication and handle special diets, so dogs on pills or a restricted feeding plan aren't excluded.

The team is bonded and insured, and certified in canine/feline first aid.

Before the first visit

Every new dog completes a trial evaluation before being accepted, which gives the staff a read on how the dog handles a group setting. Vaccinations are required. Owners who would rather not make the trip to Leroy Street can book pick-up and drop-off instead.

Hours and contact

The facility is open 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday and 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. Booking and questions go through (347) 907-4345, info@citytailsnyc.com, or citytailsnyc.com.
