Traveling Tails Inn

Traveling Tails Inn is a dog daycare, boarding and spa facility in Edwardsville, founded in 2008 by Chris Smith and Cindy McGrew, two former educators. The 8,000 square foot facility offers kennel-free daycare, luxury boarding for regular guests, a Paws & Polish Spa, and Focus & Fun activity upgrades, with nineteen live streaming cameras that let owners check in on their dogs.

Daycare is best arranged in advance, since guests are asked to book early and a minimum of two visits a month is required to hold a spot. Boarding is by reservation and requires a dog to be a consistent daycare guest. Early drop-offs and late pickups are available by appointment. The business is on Route 66 in the Business Park area of Edwardsville, and the spa is open to non-guests who register first.
