    What Sets Western wag Apart

    24/7 Overnight Staff: Western Wag maintains on-site staff around the clock during boarding stays, ensuring pets are never left unattended and remain safe and comfortable throughout the night.

    Temperament-Based Grouping: Dogs are placed in daycare groups that are carefully balanced by temperament and size, rather than mixed randomly, to promote positive interactions and reduce stress.

    Relationship-Focused Walking: Walking service goes beyond standard 20-minute drop-offs, building trust and relationships based on patience rather than quick turnover.
