About Us!
About Us!
Judi & Timothy are the owners of Wagon Tail Ranch and have been pet sitting & caring for pets since 1985. We are both genuine animals lovers & that's why we love to take care of your pets. We always look forward to seeing our doggy boarders again & they always look forward to coming back to the Ranch. Our daycare dogs are excited when they arrive each day & we are just as excited to see them.
We can't help but fall in love with the dogs that come here. Your dog will have all the comforts of home as well as lots of fun and many hugs and kisses. We give love and special attention to every dog that stays with us. Your pets are in our home in a comfortable safe environment. Your dogs are able to be inside and/or outside, it's their choice. They can nap in the sun on one of our outdoor beds or curl up on a couch inside listening to either New Age or Classical music (their choice) .....it's like a little Yoda class...so cute! During the day they can wander around, run free or play with a variety of toys. This is a stress free environment for dogs. When the weather is warm all of the water dogs love to go for a playful dip in our doggie pool. We are very careful when the weather is hot to monitor playtime and the air conditioning in on inside to keep them cool and comfortable. Your dogs are treated like a members of our family and they will enjoy their stay here. When you are on vacation your dog will be at a 5 star bed & bones having their own vacation!
Timothy was raised on a farm and has always had animals in his life. I have had the gift of having loving pets my entire lifetime. We have both rescued, foster cared and found homes for many animals over the years and kept several along the way. We both train dogs with basic obedience skills and hand commands for their own safety to become well mannered dogs. We train with patients and large amounts of praise.
Wagon Tail Ranch is on a acre of fenced in land and is a safe and loving alternative to standard pet boarding. We provide day care and overnight boarding for your dogs in our home. The dogs are always supervised I am here with the dogs during the day and both Timothy and I are here in the evenings and on weekends. Our staff is amazing and they love the dogs just like we do. They are all very experienced with dogs and love to hug and kiss them.....a major requirement here.
We do not provide food for your dogs because changing their diet is not healthy for them and may give them a tummy ache and all that comes along with that. We will be happy to feed them whatever type of food you bring and give them any supplements or medications as well.
We don't board dogs with aggressive behavior so you don't have to worry about that. We board a limited amount of dogs at one time so we are not over crowded. We are able to keep little dogs separate from the larger dogs. We are very experienced with dogs and speak fluent"DOG".
While you're away from your dog(s) we will happily email you pictures and updates. You are welcome to call or email as often as you like. We know how hard it is to leave your precious pets.
Please come by for a visit. Just give a call between 9:00am & 6:30pm Monday - Sunday or email us and we will get right back to you. We will schedule a time for you to come by with your dog. Please take a look at our testimonials from some of our wonderful clients on YELP & on our Facebook page.
We look forward to meeting both you and your dogs.
