When your dog stays at Meyer’s Tails Up Farm in Belvidere, IL, they deserve more than just great care — they deserve a little adventure! Our dog playtime add-on, the Backwoods Buddy, gives your pup the perfect opportunity to stretch their legs, play fetch, and enjoy one-on-one attention from our caring staff.
Each Backwoods Buddy session takes place in one of our secure, enclosed outdoor play areas where dogs can run off-leash and just be dogs. Whether your pup lives for chasing a ball, catching a Frisbee®, or simply soaking up sunshine and belly rubs, we tailor every session to match their personality and play style. It’s fun, safe, and designed to make their lodging stay even more enjoyable.
This extra dog playtime isn’t just about burning energy — it’s also about connection. Dogs thrive on attention and activity, and our team makes sure every session leaves tails wagging and hearts happy. Regular play helps relieve stress, keeps your dog physically fit, and provides the mental stimulation they need while away from home.
At Meyer’s Tails Up Farm, we believe every guest should feel loved, engaged, and part of the family. Adding a Backwoods Buddy session to your dog’s stay ensures they get the personal care, joyful exercise, and companionship that makes all the difference.
Give your dog something to look forward to — book a Backwoods Buddy session during their next stay at Meyer’s Tails Up Farm in Belvidere, IL.
