Wag & Wheels

Wag & Wheels is a Manchester, NH pet care company that provides in-home dog boarding and overnight pet sitting instead of a kennel building. Dogs stay in a caregiver's own home, never a cage or kennel, and keep something close to their normal routine while their owner is away.

What a boarding stay looks like

Boarding guests get a daily walk plus let-outs every two to three hours. Medication can be administered on the same schedule a dog follows at home. After every visit, owners get a photo report card and app updates, so the day is documented rather than summarized later. Families who would rather not move their dog at all can book overnight pet sitting in their own home, which includes two daily walks.

Who cares for the dogs

Caregivers are background-checked, insured, bonded, and Pet CPR & First Aid certified. The team also carries Pet Sitter International certification and an Adventure Paw Guide credential. New clients start with a free 15-minute meet and greet before the first booking, which lets a dog and caregiver size each other up ahead of an overnight stay. That step matters more in an in-home setup than it would at a large facility, since the match is between one dog and one household.

Practical details

Boarding runs $80 per day, as published on the company's own site. Booking is handled online. Office hours are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, closed Saturday and Sunday. Proof of current vaccinations is required before a stay. The team can be reached at (603) 696-2924 or info@wagnwheelsnh.com.
