TailWaggers Inn

TailWaggers Inn is an in-home dog boarding and pet sitting service on Jefferson Blvd in Frederick, MD. Dogs stay cage-free in a home environment rather than in kennel runs, with indoor play and a fenced backyard for outdoor time. Guests share the house with the other dogs booked for the same nights, so socializing is part of the routine.

What an overnight stay includes

Boarding covers safe indoor and outdoor playtime, exercise, and supervised time with the other dogs in the home. Owners receive daily photos and messages while they are away. Medication administration is available, and the business takes puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special medical needs.
