About Wagging Trails
Welcome to Wagging Trails — a calm, home-from-home day care and boarding service for friendly dogs, based just east of Norwich in Little Plumstead.
Hi, I’m Sam — a lifelong dog lover, joined by my partner Craig and our two Cavaliers, Bramble and Jasper. Together, we’ve created Wagging Trails: a peaceful, nurturing space where small groups of dogs can settle in, feel safe, and truly become part of the family.
Here, your dog is treated like one of our own.
🐶 What We Offer
We provide small-group day care and home boarding focused on gentle routines, daily enrichment, and thoughtful, individualised care.
Licensed to care for a maximum of four guest dogs at a time, we intentionally keep things small — creating a familiar, relaxed environment where every dog gets close attention, builds genuine bonds, and becomes part of a steady, well-matched group alongside our own two gentle Cavaliers.
We offer regular weekly care only, as dogs thrive on consistency and connection. A steady routine helps them feel secure, reduces stress, and builds trust within the group. Every dog begins with a relaxed, trial-style settling-in period to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone involved.
✨ What Makes Wagging Trails Different
✔️ Twice-daily visits to a secure, private dog park
✔️ A warm, cosy home with sofas, snuggles, and a secure garden
✔️ A carefully balanced group of sociable, easy-going dogs
✔️ Flexible hours: drop-off between 7–9am, pick-up between 4–6pm (occasional late collections by prior request)
✔️ Fully licensed, insured, and trained in canine behaviour and first aid
Whether your dog is a confident regular or just beginning their day care journey, we’ll always meet them with calm, patient care tailored to their individual needs.
We welcome toilet-trained puppies from 16+ weeks who are friendly, gentle, and ready to grow within our calm, consistent weekly group.
💛 Peace of Mind, Every Step of the Way
We know how important it is to feel confident in your dog’s care. That’s why we keep you connected with regular photo and video updates — so you can see just how happy, relaxed, and well-loved they are throughout their stay.

"Can't speak highly enough of Sam and Wagging Trails. Our anxious cockapoo settles amazingly quickly and loves seeing Sam, Jasper, and Bramble. Huge peace of mind knowing he’s very happy and excited to return."
