Wag 'N Tails Pet Resort

Wag 'N Tails Pet Resort offers dog boarding and daycare in Lansing, MI, and it runs cage-free. Every guest stays in a private suite instead of a crate or a run. Each suite has its own heating and cooling and a private indoor patio, and dogs get multiple outdoor potty breaks and supervised play sessions through the day.

Services and amenities

Boarding is the core service, with daycare, grooming, and cat boarding alongside it.

• Cage-free, all-suite boarding with individual climate control
• Daycare for owners who need coverage for a single day
• Grooming
• Customized meal plans, with food from home accepted
• Medication administration and special-diet feeding

What sets it apart

The all-suite layout is the main difference from a traditional kennel. Instead of a shared run block, each dog has a room with its own temperature settings and an attached indoor patio, which gives quieter or older dogs somewhere to retreat. Play and potty breaks happen outdoors several times daily under supervision. Meals are another place the resort customizes: guests can eat food brought from home, and staff will follow a special diet or give medication on schedule. The resort boards cats as well, and a multi-pet discount is available.

Practical details

Published rates run from $26 to $114 per day. Reservations are handled by phone at (517) 482-7799, and quotes over the phone are free. Vaccinations are required for all guests. The resort is open 8 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday, 8 AM to noon on Saturday, and 11 AM to 3 PM on Sunday. Weekend hours are shorter than weekdays, so drop-offs and pickups need to fit those windows.
