Our managers have over 60 years combined dog experience and we pride ourselves in not only the quality of care we provide your pets but also in the love and affection shown all of our “members” as individuals.

AARON
Business Owner and Manager
“There is a particular kind of knowledge of dogs, by way of experience, which can be found within our group of managers at Happy Tails. It is the kind of knowledge and experience which can only be attained through many years of working together, through unity of direction, and through our habitual curiosity and love for dogs. It has, in some sense, become a traditional knowledge that has been handed down, examined, applied, and refined over those many years. I feel we find our work with dogs, and the knowledge we have acquired, to be some of the more authentic aspects of our lives. And with the lucid decisions we continuously make to be immersed in dogs, it has become reasonably clear the extent to which these creatures have impacted our creative mental lives; to put it differently, that dogs have become a fundamental part of the essence of who we are.”
Becca
West Location Assistant Manager
Becca has been with Happy Tails since 2016. She has a passion for the natural world; she enjoys hiking with her three dogs and caring for her many reptiles at home.
Leslie
East Location Assistant Manager
“Happy Tails has been the saving grace for me and my pups for years now (I was a previous customer of their Fairview location but now go to HTCC West) . The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, their facility is clean, and my dogs get to run around and play like crazy with their other pup friends. And when I pick them up at the end of the day or after days of boarding, I know that my dogs were taken care of. I tell anyone who is asking about dog day care to check out Happy Tails.”
