Going on vacation? Dog boarders through Wag! are available to care for your pup whenever you're not. Every dog boarder has passed an enhanced background check. Get updates and photos through the app from the pet boarder while you are away.
Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Yuki boarded at Mari’s house and she had a great time. She loves running in the background. Thank you so much for taking good care of Yuki.

Keera was great with Archer and went at his pace! I got a ton of updates and Keera was super responsive and gave great updates! Keera was flexible when I was coming home sooner than expected.

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

Sara went above and beyond for us and our pet. Gave us some peace of mind while out of town and we couldn’t be more grateful. Def recommended!

Tailwaggers
When you get greeted by your dog at the door, you always look at their tail, right? You do it to see just how fast it's wagging. Well, we have the perfect event for you and your dog that will surely make that tail wag! It’s called Tailwaggers, and all doggies are welcomed! You can play games, get your face painted, and shop from some great vendors. Bob Quinn of Rivers Edge Canine does scent detection demos at the event, so maybe your dog can help you find that shirt you lost last summer? Located at Avantis Dome, admission is free.

Whiskers, Wags, & A Food Truck
What fun is Halloween without dressing up, dressing your kids up, and the most fun, dressing your dog up? Halloween is meant to be celebrated with lots of food, that’s why Nacho Mama does an annual lunch event right before Halloween and donates a portion of her sales to Tazewell Animal Protective Society shelter. The event itself takes place there, and will offer lots of goodies for you and your dog, so dress up the family and come check it out! Admission is free, but bring your rainy day change because there are plenty of things to spend some money on.24
TAPS Happy Tails Sale
Finders Keepers! We love a good sale and we bet you do too. Tazewell Animal Protective Society is hosting its annual Happy Trails Sale this summer with a yard sale, bake sale, raffle prizes, and even lemon shakeups! Who wouldn’t want a nice cool drink on a hot day? And Nacho Mama’s will be joining and donating a portion of her sales to TAPS—so bring your dog (every dog loves food trucks it’s like the ice cream truck to kids, well dogs like that too). All dogs are welcomed and encouraged!
