We LOVE Happy Tails, and suggest it to anyone looking for daycare. Our dog Lucy can be shy and timid. Due to this we had a hard time initially finding a daycare that would be a good fit. Happy Tails has been so great helping Lucy with her anxiety. During her evaluation, Cathy took the time to explain Lucy's play style and behaviors. We met with 3 other daycares and never had sometime take the time to explain this. Lucy recently had to take a break for several months due to an injury.

During this time, Cathy was able to help us with referrals and answered any questions we had. Lucy was so happy to go back. The moment we pulled off the highway she began to jump with excitement. We could not be happier, and are excited for our new pup to start.

Staff is very attentive and they group dogs by play style instead of simply sorting by size. My pup has been going since 16 weeks and we have had nothing but positive experiences. My only recommendation would be a live cam you can check in on but besides that I couldn't recommend Happy Tails more!

My dog loves it here & he comes home so tired & happy! He has a lot of energy so he needs the rotation type of play that Happy Tails offers in the different play yards. He also needed some confidence socializing so it's been a great help. The staff are super friendly & always a pleasure to talk with! They are very helpful & always understanding of the rotating schedules in my family when I book daycare. Thank you for such a great place for Murphy!

I had a trial interview today (shadowing) and I had the best experience! Staff were so nice and welcoming even though they didn't know me yet. All the dogs were pretty well behaved for the most part. I'm really looking forward to furthering my job here at Happy Tails :)

I have been a client of Happy Tails for almost 7 years, In that time I Have been nothing but Happy. Kathy and her staff have ALWAYS been nothing but professional and reliable! The Handlers that work with my precious baby are AMAZZZZZING! There is not a moment that they do not contact you or communicate with you if they even have the slightest concern they welcome each and every dog in there with a smile and you can clearly tell that all of the Handlers there LOVE Their Job and Love all the dogs they are working with, when I pull into the parking lot my dog gets so excited and goes in there with a Tail that is wagging from that moment until I pick up and its still wagging! Kathy has been nothing but wonderful to deal with always answers any concerns or questions I have, if you would want your babies to have a great experience, know for sure they are being loved and taken care of all day send them over to Happy Tails you will not be disappointed, I Cant say enough!

I found Happy Tails in 2009 when I adopted my first dog. She was a rescue who was seriously mistreated and isolated. She grew to be a confident, happy, playful girl because of her time at Happy Tails. I learned to be a good dog parent because of what Happy Tails offers dog parents. Since that time I have recommended Happy Tails many times. I would never make that recommendation if I did not believe that the dogs were happy and safe.

The staff works very hard to provide that safe place where dogs socialize and learn. Cathy's number one priority are the dogs in her care. The staff knows the personalities of all our babies and are trained to keep them safe. Two years ago I started bringing my boy there for one hour a week to get some socializing and exercise. He is 12 years old.

The staff were very accommodating and gave me very important feedback on his progress. Most recently I made an appointment for an interview for my newest pup. I know how good Happy Tails is and as long as I have dogs I will want them to experience Happy Tails. So grateful to have a place that helps my babies grow and live the good life. Aside from being home with me, Happy Tails is the one place I feel my dogs are safe and loved. Thank you to Cathy and her staff.

Happy Tails DDC is the very best doggie daycare in the area. We have been clients for 18 years and highly recommend! The staff is exceptional and the owner Cathy is an absolutely wonderful person, she truly treats our dogs like they are her own. We wouldn't send our dogs anywhere else!

My husband and I could not recommend Happy Tails Doggie Daycare more highly. Our confidence in this well run, knowledgable, safe, fun, compassionate environment grows each time our pups come bouncing out the door at the end of their amazing day. (They practically pull us in the door each morning, too). We first met Cathy Sutton (Owner) when our first fur baby, Jacob, started at HT.

Before his passing last fall, he benefited from the wonderful attention and activities that HT provided for 10 years. When we adopted our now 14 month old girls in the spring, we reached out to Happy Tails for socialization and activity needs. They booked solid for interviews, we couldn't get in for a few months. Worth the wait time - we would NEVER have compromised and looked elsewhere for doggie daycare.

All the staff are top notch; we have known some of them for over 10 years. Cathy is knowledgeable and confident in her programs and during the interview process was spot on with what our girls needed to succeed. Happy Tails is an incredible place.

We scheduled an appointment for the owner to meet our dogs and from the second we walked in, she was nothing but rude. Not only was she rude to us, the way she treats and talks to her staff was downright nasty and a huge red flag. I can't imagine how she treats the dogs. To top it off, the facility was absolutely disgusting! I wouldn't bring my dogs there if she paid me.

I feel like giving her the one star is giving this place too much credit. Anyone that works there that doesn't want to get treated poorly, please reach out and I'll give you a job where you're treated with respect. Do yourselves a favor and find another employer and doggy day care. This woman deserves to be out of business.

Happy Tails Doggy Daycare is without question the best daycare around! Our energetic hound pup loves to get his energy out, and always comes home tired. We have had experiences with 2 other daycares, and Happy Tails exceeds the rest by leaps and bounds. And what other daycare makes fun crafts for you of your babies!?! Thank you Happy Tails!
