Happy Tails Home Boarding Retreat

We love Happy Tails and are so sad to see them leave St. Catharines. Katie and Matt treated our Bailey like she was one of the family. When we would get close to Happy Tails, Bailey would know and pace in the back seat as she couldn’t wait to get there. At the end of the day she would back in the car and sleep all the way home and following her supper, sleep till morning. We miss them terribly. Anyone who gets to go to Happy Tails for a dog camp or boarding will absolutely be thrilled.

Katy has been my dog walker for the last few years. I trust her completely with Molly and access to my house. She has always been very flexible with being able to come on weekends, holidays and evenings to walk and feed Molly when I'm working 12 hour shifts. She has even been able to accommodate me on several occasions when I've needed last minute services. I'm very grateful for Katy and her dog walking services. Molly loves her too!

We have trusted Katy with our two dogs since 2010 and have been consistently delighted with her services as a dog walker and boarder. I appreciate her flexibility in scheduling: sometimes we book last minute, and we often book on an irregular schedule. She shows great care for our dogs, sends a message if something is out of sorts, leaves a note if something was really positive, and gives us plenty of notice if she will not be available for a period of time. Overall, Happy Tails has been a model of customer service for us and we know the dogs love her too. Highest recommendation!

Katy looked after my cockapoo, Beau, every day while I was working. I was so comfortable leaving him and knew he was getting the best care. Beau could barely wait for the car to stop each time we arrived at Happy Tails - he jumped out of the car and ran right to Katy each day! He had so much fun there and I always enjoyed getting the videos of his day with his dog friends.I highly recommend Happy Tails - operates in a very professional manner. Katy and Matt - We wish you all the best at your new location!

Happy Tails is the best! The best part is Katy's flexible with drop offs and pickups times. I always feel reassured everyone is ok; Katy always sends pictures and videos! And the dogs keep their daily routine aligned while with Katy. Why would you keep your dog in a kennel when they can be at home" with Katy?!"

Katy was a life saver. She came to visit my dog Lemon soon after I sent an email looking for a dog walker that could take on special needs. We instantly knew it would be a great fit; Lemon loved Katy and I was assured that Katy was a kind, knowledgeable, top-notch professional.Katy documented all of Lemon’s information and somehow found time in her busy schedule to visit during peak hours. She was also so accommodating whenever we had a change in our schedule.Lemon always had extra tail wags on the days she got to spend with Katy. We miss her now that Lemon spends more time with her grandma! I would recommend Katy to anyone looking to put their heart at ease knowing their dog will be in the most responsible and nurturing hands.

This is the best place I've ever boarded my dog. Katy is amazing and my dog (Marlowe) is always excited to spend time with her - completely removes the stress from travelling and leaving Marlowe behind. Katy always keeps me up to date with pictures and text messages, is flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and is fairly priced. She makes Marlowe part of her family while he's there - I couldn't ask for better! Highly recommend Katy and Happy Tails!

Looking for a dog walker? Look no further...After a devastating experience with an open concept pet resort in Niagara, we contacted Katy to help with our new puppy. We have now relied on Katy for over a year and a half and have never been disappointed! Our dog loves her and looks forward to her visits during the work day. We are totally comfortable giving her access to our home. Katy is always flexible if we have to change our days and even continued to come during a major renovation. We would not have been able to get a new puppy at that time without the help of Katy. I highly recommend her!

We hired Katy to walk our two dogs after a disappointing experience with our first dog walker and we can't say enough good things! Our dogs love her and always look forward to their walk with Katy; she is very reliable and is understanding and accommodating any time we have had to reschedule last minute. Her expertise and suggestions have helped us to improve our dog's unwanted behaviours; overall they are much more pleasurable to walk as a result of having spent time with Katy. We are thrilled to have her working with us!

Happy Tails has been our go to dog retreat four our two small dogs. Katy is always quick and responsive to our needs & has always been able to take our dogs in a pinch. She is very affectionate towards both our dogs & we know they are going to be in good hands while we are away. Her set up is perfect & she always sends us a few pics of our dogs having fun while on vacation with Katy. I truly believe they are sad to leave when we come & pick them up. Highly recommended.
