We are lifelong dog and cat parents who saw a need for a high-end, safe place where dogs could play, train and stay. We also saw a need for a cozy, safe place for cats to board when their owners are away. We have designed a custom facility with your pets comfort, safety and happiness in mind.

We know there are a lot of choices out there and we want to become your trusted go-to place for your daycare, training, boarding and grooming needs. We take the responsibility of caring for your pet very seriously. Our top goal is to make this a tail wagging good time for your furry family member. We want them to be excited to come and play, train and stay with us. We understand the importance of socialization, training and safety. All of our dog handlers are “trainers in training”. They are all trained under the direct supervision of our Managing Director of Training, Greg Riley. That means only the best qualified handlers will be working with, playing with and engaging with your dog.

We have three large indoor/outdoor playrooms to ensure that your dog will be grouped with dogs of similar disposition and temperament. The playrooms are air conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter, and we have specialized insulated floors for our guests comfort and safety. The outdoor areas are top quality K-9 turf designed for optimal cleanliness, comfort and sanitation. We have a ten-foot roof overhang to offer protection from the elements, and multiple wading pools where the pups can relax or play in warmer weather. Whether they are inside or out, they will always have 100% supervision by our trained handlers.

To provide a bright, welcoming feel for your pet, we have windows throughout the facility for lots of natural light. The overnight facilities are top- of -the- line 5’x5’ rooms. The overnight area also has a separate air purifier for the health of all our guests, as well as a triple- insulated floor to keep the floor temperature consistent all year. Your dog will never be confined to their sleeping quarters during the day except to eat and rest.

You may know him from the hit movies Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World, and Passengers… Oh, sorry; wrong Chris Pratt.

Chris is a lifelong animal-lover and businesswoman. She is a Western Massachusetts native who saw a need for additional dog daycare and boarding in our area. Chris is happiest when she is playing with her lab-mix Wyatt. She is trained in animal CPR and possesses a lifetime of experience loving and training her own dogs. She is often asked by friends and family to dog-sit or help out with training.

This business is Chris’ dream. She has the passion and love for animals that will ensure Wagging Tails is a fun and safe environment. She is only working with professionals of the highest caliber because she truly wants every animal in her care to have the absolute best treatment possible.
