Happy Wagging Tails is in-home pet boarding run by Miriam, right here in Cape Coral. Your pet doesn't go into a kennel run or a stacked cage — they stay in a real home with a fenced yard, a couch to nap on, and someone who's actually around all day. That's why clients keep coming back: dogs settle in fast, anxious pets do better, and owners get photo updates while they're away instead of wondering. Over 130 pet parents have left reviews averaging 4.9 stars, and most of them mention the same thing — Miriam treats their pets like her own. Dogs and cats are both welcome, from weekend trips to extended stays.
Your dog stays in a home environment with room to relax, regular walks, and real companionship — not a cage in a back room.
Cats welcome too. Quiet spaces, familiar routines, feeding, litter care, and gentle attention from someone who understands cats.
You get pictures and updates while you're away, so you can actually enjoy your trip instead of wondering how your pet is doing.
A secure fenced yard for safe outdoor time, play, and potty breaks throughout the day — not just a quick leash walk.
Week-long trips, holidays, and longer stays handled with the same routine and attention as a single overnight.
From small dogs to big guys, seniors, and anxious pets — we take the time to make sure every pet settles in comfortably.

I was a little skeptical at first, because my 3 dogs are like my children! But after reading the reviews for Miriam and seeing how happy everyone was with her dog sitting, I decided to give her a try. It was amazing — my dogs instantly loved her.
I couldn't be happier with the care my cat Jasper received! From the start, Miriam was professional, kind, and very attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure Jasper felt comfortable and loved while I was away, and she kept me updated.
My co-workers referred me to her and my golden doodles loved her. They stayed with her for a week and she sent me pictures every day. Highly recommend!
