About us
Your pets deserve the best
With well-trained staff that genuinely care. We're a club for dogs! We support your best friends by looking after their physical, social, and emotional health.
We are a locally owned dog care facility located in Rochester, New York. Our facility consists of 5,500 square feet of three interior playrooms with hygienic rubber flooring and climbing structures as well as 2,000 square feet of secure outdoor play area with “K9 Grass” (not mud).
We treat every dog as if they were our own, making it easy for you to leave them in our care. Our social events bring together a community of dog lovers where owners and pets build bonds that last a lifetime!
We love to welcome new pack members! There are a few things to do to get started. Be sure your pup has the required vaccinations. We require Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella. Dogs recently adopted must be in home for two weeks prior to coming to daycare or boarding and show no signs of coughing, sneezing, or any other symptoms of illness. All dogs 7 months or older must be spayed or neutered. Finally, fill out our application (link to application/waiver) and give us a call to schedule your Orientation Day any weekday between 7 – 10 am. After your first day, day care is on a drop-in basis, with no reservation required.
It’s important to note that we only allow a limited number of orientations in one day to be able to give your pup our full attention.
Depending on what time your pup arrives for the day or if they stay overnight, below is a pretty typical day.
6:30 am Rise and shine! Breakfast and potty time.
7:00 am Wags opens and day care friends begin to arrive.
9:00 am Group exercises and open playtime.

Testimonials
We provide a safe and fun space for your dog to socialize and grow in a caring environment. See what dog owners are saying about us!
Mary and the rest of the staff are unbelievable! the facility is clean, and the pups have indoor/outdoor access all day long (weather pending of course). My pooch has never been so active and goes crazy when she knows she going to play for the day at Wags!

Dog OwnerI wanted to write and thank you all for taking great care of Oreo. We left last Thursday on what was supposed to be a long weekend for a wedding. It quickly turned into a week long stay for a funeral as my Dad passed away unexpectedly. I called and asked if Oreo's stay could be extended and why and was told "absolutely" and not to worry they would take care of everything. Having that peace of mind that he was taken care of allowed my to focus on other arrangements that needed to be made. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Dog OwnerWe just recently got a puppy. Wags has been a great resource. Our new guy Diggs is always excited to see the staff. They care about each pup and they are very attentive to the dogs needs. Diggs has been so much calmer at home and has even learned some new tricks in his puppy class!

Dog OwnerThis is the best place we know for our dogs to board or just stay for the day to socialize and exercise. They are great at training, and Mary the owner is hands on and responsive. Highly recommend.

Dog OwnerMy golden retriever has been going to WAGS for about a year and he absolutely LOVES it. He gets so excited to go and play with the other dogs and comes home tired! The WAGS staff is so friendly, reliable and takes care of my little guy while I am at work. I have been to a few other daycares and I can say that the level of care, love, safety and professionalism from the staff here is unmatched. If you're thinking about bringing your dog here, DO IT! Best choice I made :)
