Trails & Tails is incredible. Our dog Rikki has walked with Keith for 3.5 years (where does the time go?!). On the rare occasions he’s unavailable, owner Michelle steps in seamlessly. “Keith is coming” is Rikki’s favorite phrase—Keith is a true dog whisperer, attentive to what Rikki needs, and he sends the sweetest daily photos (a little documentary of Rikki’s life). Coordination is seamless through their portal, and Keith has also house/dog-sat for us while we travel—always perfect. We trust Keith, Michelle, and the whole Trails & Tails team with anything. With our busy work schedules, it’s such a relief knowing Rikki has Trails & Tails as part of his pack.

Top-notch! I was nervous to trust anyone with my little buddy and my home, but needed support with noontime medication administration and walking when I started a new job. Trails and Tails earned my trust via daily reports with photos, and quick responses to any questions I had. Most importantly, my dog was clearly happy - which says it all. Highly recommended.

Michelle and her team and wonderful pet walkers and we cannot recommend them enough!
Jackson and Cory were both so incredibly sweet and caring towards our blind senior dog and did everything we asked for to make her comfortable. Plus we got super cute pictures and messages from them everyday!
10/10 no notes! Thanks for caring for Maggie so well all this time!

For the past 3 years Trails and Tails walked my dog Sierra while I was at work, and I could not be happier with the care she received! Daniel was usually the one walking Sierra, and she always had a good time with him. It's nice to get the photo updates. He was also almost always able to watch her (and my cat!) while I was out of town, which was very convenient.
Michelle and Daniel are very responsive and were quick to let me know if there were any issues. One time while I was at work Sierra got into some cocoa powder that I didn't realize she could access. Daniel contacted me right away and I was able to get her to the vet in time.
I highly recommend contacting them if you need any dog walking or pet sitting. I wish I could have taken them with with me when I left the Seattle area!

Jenny is wonderful. She is always prompt and both of the dogs are always very happy to see her and get to go on their lunch walk. She went out of her way to take care of our cattle dog after he had spinal surgery and I always know the dogs are being very well taken care of when sh is around. I cannot recommend Jenny and Trails and Tails enough.

We are so pleased with Trails & Tails. Michelle is a super on top of it business owner who has been flexible in getting extra walks covered when I have business travel. Our main walker, Kay, is incredibly thoughtful. The other walkers who have subbed have been great too. When we got started Michelle and Kay came to meet us and talk about the dogs, our preferences, etc. It set things off on a great foot!
Each day we receive photos and a note about the walk, plus an update on #1 and #2 potty. I'm so happy to work with a locally owned company, too! Highly recommend.

I’ve been using Trails and Tails for nearly a year now after my previous dog walker moved away. I’ve had a great experience. Very professional customer service. Very reasonable rates. Highly responsive. Flexible on scheduling. Texts with pictures and notes from daily walks. Credit card payments and detailed invoicing. Vetting and personal introduction of substitute team members.

I love Trails and Tails Dog Walking! I received excellent service from Michelle who is great with my German Shepard. I really enjoy how accommodating the services are. I also take advantage of the multiple types of services offered like daily walks and dog sitting for when I’m out of town. Definitely going to keep using this company.
