When you travel, your dog deserves more than a cage and a clock. Wiggle Butts in-home boarding places your pup with a trusted caregiver — Tom oversees our boarding program — in a real home with personalized routines, regular check-ins, and the same attention they get on walks.

Client Stories
What In-Home Boarding clients say
“Bella often needs time to feel comfortable in new places, but she seemed calm, happy, and relaxed during her two-night stay with Stacy. Stacy sent photos while we were traveling, and seeing Bella look so settled gave us real peace of mind.”
“Our dogs love staying with Stacy when we go away. We feel confident that they will be well fed, get ample exercise, and be showered in love. It's great to have peace of mind when we travel — and Stacy provides that in abundance.”
FAQ
Questions about In-Home Boarding
How is in-home boarding different from a kennel?
Your dog stays in a vetted caregiver's home with personalized attention, familiar routines, and no cages. It's a boutique experience — not warehouse-style boarding.
Do you offer boarding in the Capitol Hill area?
Yes. We serve Capitol Hill area clients for in-home boarding. We'll discuss your dog's needs and match them with the right caregiver during a complimentary meet-and-greet.
Can my dog meet their boarding caregiver before I travel?
Absolutely. A pre-boarding meet-and-greet is included so your dog can get comfortable with their caregiver before your trip.
