Banjo my year old Husky mix pup had the best 10-day stay with Karen and her husband on their amazing property. He became friends right away with the other dogs that live there! Very pet friendly with an amazing yard, optional fenced in area for him to get lots of exercise! Received multiple updates with pictures each day of all Banjo's adventures! Banjo's home away from home! Highly recommended!

Tail Wag Inn - A Home Away from for Your Pup!
Leaving my dog, Molly, while I went on vacation was a tough decision, but choosing Tail Wag Inn was the best one I could've made! From the moment she arrived, she was treated like part of the family. She got to join in on daily activities, enjoy cuddle time on the couch while watching TV, and even sneak into bed for some extra love. Molly made new friends and had the freedom to be her playful, goofy self in a safe and loving environment. The daily postcards from Molly eased my mind and brought me so much joy during my trip - it was comforting to see how happy ad well cared for she was. If you're looking for a top-notch doggy daycare or an overnight stay, Tail Wag Inn by the Finley Family truly goes above and beyond. Highly recommend!

We left our dogs for a daycare service at this beautiful place, and it was like literally leaving them at home. The love, cuddles, and attention the Finley family gives your dogs has no comparison. This is a Five Star place, and we recommend it 200%

The care and love that Spirit receives from this family is simply amazing. She truly loves her time there and sometimes I believe she would rather stay with them, then come home! She is truly spoiled and I never have to worry about her in their care. Trust me when I say, your animals will be beyond taken care of and loved the entire time they are there.
Janphia, Red Deer
Simply the best family you could ever leave your precious pet with. Our Letty was truly treated like one of their own and loved her time on their acreage ❤️

We were in need of a boarding facility throughout the Christmas holidays and the Tail Wag Inn was the top choice for our Golden Retrievers stay. Max was welcomed with caring arms and a loving home with access to both indoor and outdoor roaming. Max was made to feel part of the family and was extremely relaxed and calm upon pick up from our vacation. It was hard to tell who had the holiday ...! It was one of our top boarding experiences and I would highly recommend Tail Wag Inn.

We have been looking for a long time for a place that we feel comfortable leaving our tow Weimaraner girls and we have finally found it! Leaving our girls is still hard but knowing they are with Cal and Karen puts us at ease. They treat them like family and we would not trust anyone else as much as we trust Tail Wag Inn! Karen sends updates frequently which also helps seeing how comfortable our girls are with the. It is our girls' home away from home!
Nicole, Grand Prarie
This is the first time I've ever left any of my dogs at a kennel, and I wouldn't consider this a kennel, it's a dog resort. This feels more like bringing your dog to a friend's home. Charlie stayed here twice, and was depressed each time I picked her up. Depressed because she didn't want to leave!
Every day I got videos, and pictures of all the fun activities, and they even got a dog pool on the hot days to keep the dogs cool!
The Finley family has gone above and beyond when it comes to the care and attention that they give to all of the dogs. They treat the dogs like their own family. I would highly recommend anyone bring their dogs here.
I brought my dog from Grand Prairie to make sure she was well taken care of, and they have not disappointed. They even made her a cute bandana to send her home in.
Thank you so much Tail Wag Inn for giving Charlie a home away from home when we are unable to take her with us.

Our Golden Retrievers (3) hadn't been boarded - just never need to. Then a wedding was announced that demanded too much time to leave them in a motel room. Couldn't bear to leave them where they'd be caged at night. At home, they sleep with us. At Tail Wag Inn, the dogs stay in the house as if they lived there. Karen and Cal love them up like favored grandchidren. Big fenced yard to play in, leashed walks on country roads. Play pool in the summer. Boxes of toys to raid. Pictures sent everyday.
We had feared it was abandonment - but it was summer camp and they loved it so much. They even came home with home baked cookies. It doesn't get any better for them anywhere (except maybe at home) :)
Dani, Sundre
We are so thankful to the Tail Wag Inn. It's nice knowing that our puppy has a loving home away from home.
Katie, Calgary
Karen was wonderful to work with and what I found most helpful was she was very flexible about pick up timing. I'd recommend!
Alan, Cremona
Two dogs stayed for 2 weeks and Karen sent regular photos which showed them having great fun with the other dogs. A real home from home with people that you can tell really love dogs ... 100% recommend.
Marilyn, Sundre
Not your traditional boarding kennel. More like a visit at Grandma's! A home away from home.
