The Tail Waggers Clubhouse

The Tail Waggers Clubhouse is a home-based dog boarding and daycare service at 10125 Waterloo-Munith Road in Munith, Michigan. Dogs stay in the family's home rather than a traditional kennel, and the number of guests is kept very small on purpose.

What is home-based boarding like here?

Boarders live with the family during their stay instead of sleeping in a row of runs. The Clubhouse accepts only two boarders at a time, or three when they come from the same family. With so few dogs, each one gets real attention, and supervision runs around the clock.

Every stay starts with a meet-and-greet. It gives the dog a chance to see the place first and gives the hosts a feel for each guest's routine. While dogs are away, owners receive regular photo updates.

What services and space are available?

• Overnight boarding in a cage-free home setting
• Dog daycare, including puppy daycare
• Grooming
• Pickup and drop-off
• Climate-controlled indoor space for play

Outdoors, dogs have a fenced three-quarter-acre backyard to explore. There are also five acres of trails used for daily walks. That suits active dogs that need more than a quick lap around the yard, and the indoor play space covers cold or wet days.

How much does it cost and how do you book?

Boarding runs from $45 to $54 per day, based on prices posted on the kennel's website. Booking is handled online. Questions can go to (734) 431-4064 or Thetailwaggersclubhouse@gmail.com.

For owners in and around Munith who want a quiet family setting instead of a busy facility, this small operation is a good one to look into. Because space is so limited, it makes sense to reach out early before a planned trip.
