Happy Tails is open 24/7, 365 days a year! We provide round-the-clock care for your furry family members, making drop-offs and pick-ups convenient no matter your schedule.
We welcome dogs of all breeds and sizes at Happy Tails. Our facility is designed to group dogs by size, ensuring safe and comfortable play experiences for every pup, from tiny terriers to giant breeds.
Our trained staff members actively supervise all play groups throughout the day. Dogs are evaluated and separated by size to ensure compatible playmates. Our team monitors interactions closely to maintain a safe, fun environment and intervenes when necessary to redirect overly excited play or give dogs rest breaks.
Our staff is trained to recognize when dogs need breaks, and we provide quiet areas where dogs can relax and recharge away from the excitement of group play. Some dogs naturally take breaks throughout the day, while others need gentle encouragement to rest. We monitor each dog’s energy levels and ensure they’re having fun without becoming overtired or overwhelmed.
We offer flexible daycare options to fit your needs! You can bring your dog as often or as infrequently as you like—whether it’s daily, a few times a week, or just occasionally when you need it. Many clients find that regular attendance helps their dog build friendships and stay comfortable in our environment, but there’s no minimum commitment required.
