Wagsworth always takes excellent care of my dogs. Over the Labor Day weekend, I boarded my 1 yo golden retriever puppy Nellie. She did great! Loved getting a couple of emails with pictures to see that she was doing well.

Wagsworth took great care of my pup! She needed special attention as she was recovering from CCL surgery, and Wagsworth ensured she had a great stay and covered her needs without issue. Everyone was incredibly nice, and it was clear they love the doggos. Plus my pup is SUPER shiny and soft after her bath. I will be returning!
