About

Wagging Tails Pet Resort is Tempe's premier provider of pet grooming, boarding and daycare services. As a small, family-owned shop, we are very active in the community and have many ties to local rescue groups. Our goal is to provide loving, experienced care to our customers, both two- and four-legged. We support this goal by bringing our passion for animals to the shop, each and every day.
