Wagon Tails Farm

Wagon Tails Farm offers dog boarding and daycare in Topsham, Maine, from a farm property at 335 Augusta Road. Boarding dogs get their own suite with air conditioning and heat, and the days are built around supervised play rather than long stretches of down time.

What a day looks like

Play sessions are structured and run by staff, not left to the dogs to sort out. The routine also works in daily command practice, including recalls and sit and stay, so dogs keep their listening skills sharp while they are away from home. Rest periods come with lunch service and stuffed Kongs. Outdoor time happens on an 18,000 square foot fenced field, and there is indoor play space for the days Maine weather does not cooperate.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding in climate-controlled private suites
• Weekday daycare with structured, staff-led play time
• Daily command practice such as recalls, sit and stay
• Medication administration for dogs that need it
• Frequent weekend play times for boarding dogs

Practical details

Boarding runs $60 to $70 per night based on the rates published on the farm's own site. The facility is open Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Booking is handled online, and proof of current vaccinations is required before a dog can stay. Owners with questions can call 207-373-3400 or email info@wagontailsfarm.com.

Who it fits

This is a good match for owners who want their dog active and working during the day. Between the fenced field, the indoor play area, and the training folded into the daily schedule, high-energy dogs have somewhere to put that energy. Dogs on a medication schedule can be accommodated as well, which matters for senior dogs and dogs managing ongoing health conditions. The farm setting also gives dogs more room than a typical in-town kennel, both inside and out.
