Their focus on our boys was second to none! Our pups love Tails and Trails and they actually tired out our very active labs for the first time ever!

They always communicates exactly what their plan is when they takes my dog for a walk and send great pictures of their adventures.

They are one of the best, if not the best. They took Enzo on long walks to tire him out and make sure's he happy. I highly reccommend Tails and Trails!

Tails and Trails walks our 3 year old staffy twice a week! They're super easy to communicate with and is super caring to our pup!
