Wiggle Butts and Waggin Tails gave our 7 month old Cavapoo the best place to stay this past weekend. We highly recommend their place. It was our puppy's first time boarding and they prepared us and our puppy on all the things to expect. Very clean and organized facility. You will not be disappointed by their hospitality for you pet. We will definitely be back.
Brought my little Frenchie here. Discussed with owners on the phone the dogs age and sent them all the paper work from our vet which listed each and every vaccine he had. Was told there was no issue with bringing him in for 4 days. Went on vacation and got a text the next morning, after having driven 6 hrs away, that they weren't equipped to handle our dog because he wasn't old enough to board there. I had to pack my family up and head home to pick him up. Wasted $2500 in lodging for our vacation. WARNING.... NOT RECOMMENDED.
This was our first time boarding dogs ever. We have two cattle dogs, both young & FULL of energy. The staff at Wiggle Butts was so beyond fantastic with them. They sent us photos and kept us updated. They gave them their medications as directed. They also followed directions to keep our dogs together at all times because they are highly anxious otherwise. This is an affordable, clean, and trustworthy boarding facility. 10/10 will use again. Thank you guys!!
Kathy and Dave were amazing! We went on vacation up North and found Wiggle Butts and Wagging tails online as we wanted to have our 2 year old dog close to us. Chloe was well taken care of and happy when we picked her up. Kathy was quick at responding emails before and during her stay. Love that they have a large outdoor area that dogs can play and enjoy the outdoors. We will be retuning here next time we have a vacation up North!
Kathy and Dave are very personable! I trust them with my 1 year old Golden doodle. He loves going to doggy daycare at their facility! I would recommend them to anyone.
Dave and Kathy are SO kind and they’re great with animals. My little dog loves coming here to spend time with them and the other dogs. They’ve really made a special connection with her and with my family. This is the only place we board her because I know she’ll be well taken care of. They have great rates as well and are very flexible.
Kathy and Dave did a GREAT job helping my kennel-averse rescue acclimate to their place by having her do several short day care stints before she boarded there for several nights. They even texted an update while we were gone. My pup was happy, well cared for, and is still excited when we drive up. What's more, their location is convenient, clean, well organized and a great value. HIGHLY recommend!
Dave and Kathy greeted us and our dogs with open arms as soon as we arrived. Very clean, neat, and organized dog boarding! I could tell they were animal lovers as soon they walked us back. Dave set out some blankets for our pups to borrow while they stayed. We will DEF be using Wiggle Butts and Wagin Tails again next year. Very happy.
My dog, Bruce, loves coming here; and I love it because when I pick him up at the end of the day, he is TIRED. Dave and Kathy are the sweetest people. There is always the perfect amount of pups for him to play with. Great for socialization as well as exercise! Pick-ups and drop offs are easy and fast. They are by far the most flexible with pick up/drop off times for any place in the area, which makes it great for working dog owners who may need to work earlier/later than typical 9-5 work hours. I can't recommend Wiggle Butts and Waggin Tails enough! If you're looking for doggy day care or a place to board your dog, look no further.
I boarded my two mini Dachshunds over Thanksgiving. We all had a great experience! The kennel is new and well designed and the owner (who live on the property) are very patient and loving to their guests. I called several times and they texted me pictures, they reassured me many times my furbabies were fine. I will definitely use their services again. I highly recommend this lovely facility .
Diane is a next level cat care person. She LOVES cats. We took our daughter’s cat to stay in Diane’s cat dream house while we had (allergic) guests. The cat clearly didn’t want to get off his perch when it was time to come back home. And he’s currently sitting in our much bigger house meowing at the windows. I’m truly convinced he wants to go back for more Diane attention. Your cat will love this place or Diane’s care at your home. Diane is a speaks to animals kind of human. Excellent!
I have known Diane more than 20 years & have observed how well she takes care of cats. She gives them much personal attention - talking to them, hugging, brushing, playing, medicating if needed. She is conscientious about providing proper food, fresh water & clean litter. Diane's "cat cottage" is the "cat's meow"! Her safe cottage is kept at a comfortable temperature. She spends much quality time with the cats in the cottage. The cats have hiding places as well as fun toys & windows to look out. I have observed her cat boarders become more lively, playing & purring during their visit. I would highly recommend Diane as a cat sitter in your home or her cat cottage. Thanks for all you do for cats, Diane. Patti Donnelly
I left my very shy eleven year old cat, who is a very finicky eater with Diane in her cat cottage . The cottage is meticulously kept , and set up perfectly for a cat to enjoy, with windows to watch birds, cubbies to hide in, climbing shelves , as well as a loft. We were gone about five weeks, so I definitely did not want to use a kennel, that would have been extremely hard on our kitty. We returned to find our cat happy, relaxed, and healthy. Diane has a real rapport with felines, is very knowledgeable as far as health and diet needs. I would not hesitate to use her to care for my cat again, and feel fortunate that her services are available for my cat in the future .
Diane is the most caring, responsible and reliable cat sitter I have ever known. She has had cats all of her life and treats them with the utmost respect and concern, as if they were her children. Her "cattage" is a great addition and a wonderful idea for anyone who needs to board their cat while they are away. she also offers exemplary and thorough home visits. I would not leave my cats in any else's care, except for hers. You will NOT be disappointed! She is the best!
Diane took excellent care of my cat. She is extremely caring and attentive to her feline visitors. She wrote me a lengthy note about how my cat did during her time there along with some suggestions for better health of my very old cat. I would highly recommend Diane's care for cats!
Finally... quality boarding for CATS!!! Diane has taken a concept, ( previously available only to dogs) and built an incredibly cat-friendly place where any cat will be comfortable. This “ Cattage” is safe, well appointed, and just plain awesome! A must see for sny cat owner troubled by ‘ what to do’ with their purrballs when traveling. Thankfully, a cage in a vet’s office is no longer our only option. Dogs owners have had ‘ kennel ‘ options for years. Now cats have a place to stay designed solely for their needs. Thank you Diane for this overdo opportunity for cat owners in Leelanau! Sincerely , Barb Wood
