Waggs and Woofs Doggy Daycare and Boarding

Alex and Alena are the new owners of Waggs-and-Woofs in Stillwater and they proved to be a Godsend for us. Like many dog “parents,” we hate leaving our dogs when we go away. For several years we had a person who would stay in the house with them however, she retired so we were left trying other boarding facilities. Our pups always came how smelling awful from the stark conditions in which they were boarded. Our new pups have only been boarded at one other place which, we did not care for so based on a recommendation from our niece we called Alex and Alena for boarding for our recent vacation. It turned out to be the best call ever. They are the new owners who very recently took over the operation and it is fantastic. We were escorted on a tour of the facilities and we were blown away. A huge play area where they provide daycare and dogs can mingle. Boarding accommodations are great with beds and are exceptionally clean as well as climate control and even ceiling fans. When we picked them up you would never know they had been boarded. They were clean and didn’t have that boarded odor. The best part for us is that the operation is at their home. Unlike other places they don’t lock up and leave the pups overnight. They are there! They play, walk, and care for the dogs every day. They are truly caring and amazing people.We wish them many years of success and look forward to boarding with them whenever we go away. In fact, we already booked our next visit.In our opinion there are not enough stars in the universe to award them with!

My experience with Waggs-And-Woofs has been very positive. My Midas looks forward to going and comes home pooped out. The owner and her employees have always been helpful if I have had a problem with Midas. I love that not only do they play hard when there they also learn new tasks!

You know you are doing something (everything) right when you not only have community support, but also the support of other fellow dog boarding business owners! Alisa and her team offer quality care for all who enter. She and her team are knowledgeable and caring. The facility is meticulously clean and safety is obviously their number one concern. They provide daily updates for all who stay. They arent scared to set boundaries with owners, to keep all safe in their doggy play groups. Thats a win win in my book!

My dog spent an extended period boarding here. The owner was compassionate, professional, and did everything possible to make sure that my dogs time there was pleasant. She took very special care of my pet. It was so reassuring to know that my pup was being cared for here. Highly recommend using Wags and Woofs for your pet!!!

I can admit that I have never trusted anyone with my dog (who means the world to me)..until I found Waggs & Woofs …Alisa , Dennis & Kira take wonderful care of my Sofie who is very high energy .. . Sofie loves everyone at Waggs & Woofs. There was a time when she would not get in the car , now all I have to say is “do you want to go play with your friends “ and she gets so excited & jumps in the car!I have a sigh of relief knowing that my fur baby will be safe when I drop her off. It’s the most beautiful ,clean & safest daycare/boarding facility that I’ve ever sent one of my pets to.The Email communications with Alisa is excellent & The Photos are adorable!!!Thank you Waggs & Woofs !!

We love to travel, but we always worry about leaving our dog that we adore behind. It was wonderful knowing that he was in such good hands. Alisa is so wonderful and responsive, and she emailed us phenomenal pictures of him daily which was perfect. There is no other place we would want to leave him. I think Bentley had a wonderful time there on his vacation.

When looking for love and care for your pet when you can’t be present or are traveling, look no further than Wags & Woofs. What a loving team. Great communications and nothing but the best care and attention for your furry loved one! If I could give it 100 stars I would!Thank you for taking care of Addie while we were away. So grateful!!

My boyfriend and I went on vacation and our 6 month old puppy boarded overnight here for 10 nights. I was so nervous about boarding our puppy because he’s never been boarded before and he’s so young & can be a lot to handle at times.I love how they have the boarding right in their home. That eased my mind that someone is always there.Alisa and her team go above and beyond to care for every dog. They keep their customers updated with an amazing Facebook page with photos!Alisa is also very knowledgeable and her and her team are professionals at caring for dogs.Also I’d like to add that our flight was cancelled and we couldn’t get back home for another day and Alisa was more than happy to keep our puppy for another night. She saved me so much stress. And I’m so glad I found this place and will recommend to everyone I know!

Bringing my puppy to Waggs and Woofs for daycare has been an amazing experience for the last 3 months. Alisa and Dennis are so caring and compassionate with my dog and truly care about his well-being and safety! I even get nice photo updates while I’m at work. You can’t beat the experience your dog will get here... they have made my dog well socialized and behaved in a very clean and spacious environment. 100% recommend!

Alisa and Dennis have been amazing to work with. Their hours and rates are more than reasonable, and my high energy dog comes home happy and tired every night! They truly make a great team and I know my dog is in great hands when I drop off. Thank you for everything you do for us! We are so happy to have found you!

My mixed breed dog has had only positive boarding experiences at Waggs n Woofs. I’m always confident, that Remy’s “quirks”, receive the special attention, that is needed. Recently, my flight home was canceled due to weather/airport closing. My trip home was delayed for three days. Waggs n Woofs was most accommodating and extended Remy’s stay. W & W is Remy’s home away from home

We moved from Chicago to Upstate NY and desperately needed a new doggy daycare/boarding. I called several places in the area, and either they didnt do boarding, they didnt do daycare, or their business practices didnt meet our super high standards, as our Daycare/Boarder (Bonnie) in Chicago was truly the best of the best. I spoke with the owner for about 45 minutes on the phone and decided to give them a shot, as their business practices and overall love for animals mirrored our beloved Bonnie back home. Today, our 2.5 year old Black Mouth Cur mix had his daycare/boarding evaluation. The owners are extremely professional, as well as HUGE animal lovers, and very personable. And Murphy is EXHAUSTED from his day, which tells us he had a very good day at daycare! We will be using Waggs-and-Woofs for daycare and boarding for the remaining time we are in NY, as we will be traveling to and from IL a lot. It was nice to find someone we feel we feel will treat our dog with the same love, affection, and protection that we give our boy.

Dont send your dogs here. Very minimal screening for the dogs and just had our dog kicked out after months of no issues for defending herself against a new dog. 0 communication, poor management, little to no attention to the animals other than for social media.

Waggs-and-woofs has always been far and away the BEST doggie day care- hands down. And now, I just saw on Facebook the owner Alisa Carr is bumping it up another notch with the introduction & implementation of DOG GURUS !! Her post made ne want to know more about this program. All I can say us is WOW. Check it out. Im sure you will be as excited as I am. How awesome for our pups 🐶 to have this level of care, love , enrichment and most of all FUN !! This is a win win. Thank you Alisa for all you do to make sure our pets experience the best of the best. Cant wait to see and hear more about DOG GURUS !

Alisa and Dennis are the very best pet caregivers anyone could ask for. They offer a true pet sanctuary for your pets. Makes travels so much more enjoyable when you know your beloved pets are treated like family.

My wife and I have been using Waggs-and-Woofs for years and they are amazing and would highly recommend everyone to use their services

Adorable place on a beautiful piece of property. Kennels are clean and spacious, lots of room to play inside and out. What an awesome vacation spot for dogs, Im a little jealous I cant stay there myself :)

This place is so epic I have been using this place for years my dogs cant wait to go there, so much kindness and lots of fun activities for them to do. I would highly recommend!

The nicest most caring people. Clesn and safe, responsible owners. Our dog was very happy there and so were we.

Called twice and emailed twice to ask a few questions and see if this place was for us, and never received a response. Disappointing, especially after reading all the great reviews. Oh, well.

Alisa has been so helpful with taking care of my fur baby while I am away. I’m always a little nervous about leaving her places but she makes you feel comfortable and confident. Koda always comes home joyful and tired out from her stay! A tired dog is a happy dog! Alisa pays close attention to your dog and is able to give you details about their stay when picking up. Dennis always comes out to grab Koda’s pen (which is quite large) and all of her belongings. They are both very kind and compassionate people. Waggs-and-Woofs is always my first call whenever I plan to be away!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable place to board their dog!

Excellent doggy day-care and boarding service. Glad our raccoon dog has a place to hang up with his K-9 buddies.Clean, well kept facilities, and kind dog savvy owners.Thank you Alena and Alex.
