Dog boarding in Whitesboro, Texas
A cozy country stay for your dog while you're away.
Ten acres to explore, two walks a day, puzzle games, a cozy living room to nap in — and a fresh bath before every checkout. Small, personal, and built by hand.
A day at Travel Tails
Exercise for the body, puzzles for the mind, and a soft couch for the rest.
Nature walks
Two 20-minute walks a day across our ten acres, paced to each dog's stamina and health.
Puzzle enrichment
Treat puzzles and sniff mats keep busy minds happy. Mariah picks the difficulty to match your dog, so every game is a win.
Quiet time
Not every dog is a bundle of energy. Everyone gets time in our calm living room — soft furniture, gentle cuddles and long naps.

What pet parents are saying
We boarded our two Huskies and our Great Pyrenees at Travel Tails Pet Hotel for six nights, and they were absolutely amazing! The team sent us photos and updates every day while we were out of state on vacation, which really gave us peace of mind.

Our story
Built from the ground up, by hand.
Hi, I'm Mariah. Travel Tails grew out of a lifelong love of animals and a dream to make a place where dogs feel truly at home while their families are away.
My pops, my little helper and I built it ourselves — framing, insulation, drywall and all. It's more than a boarding facility. It's a labor of love, and every dog who stays here is treated like one of ours.
