In-Home Dog Boarding in Washington, DC
Overnight care in a warm, vetted home — the antithesis of impersonal kennel boarding.
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.

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.
