Paw-sonal Reviews: If Our Pets Could Talk…
They would have plenty to say about their walks, cuddles, and daily care.
“I start my mornings with a cheerful hello and gentle pats before heading out. My walker checks my gear, and off we go! I stroll with my friend George, take sniff breaks, and enjoy the park. After, I get fresh water, love, and a cozy goodbye.”
“My sister Karma and I walk side by side at the marina—sunshine, breeze, and friends to greet. After our stroll, we share breakfast, get fresh water, and hear kind words before our sitter locks up. Calm and happy, every time.”
“Walks with my buddy Mr. Nubbins are the best! We wander the neighborhood, sniff the good spots, and take a park pause. I come home happy, get fresh water, and soak up cuddles.”
“I get so excited when my walker arrives! We explore with my friend Birdie, then I get a treat, fresh water, and a paw wipe. The door clicks locked and I curl up safe.”
“Water views and tree sniffs make my day. When we get home, I have dinner—one scoop with a splash of water additive—and a clean bowl. Thoughtful care keeps my tail wagging.”
“My visits are spa days. Dishes washed, fountain refreshed, litter tidy, and my meds done just right. I get a little catnip on my scratcher, then a soft goodbye and secure lockup.”
“I am the quiet one, but my sitter knows my favorite hideouts. Bowls cleaned, fountain topped up, litter tidied, and soft music playing. I come out for treats with my sibling Little B.”
“I greet first. We share calm chats, fresh food, clean litter, and a gentle tempo so Baby T can join when ready. The door is always locked—peace feels easy.”
“Voodoo and I adore marina walks—sunshine, breeze, and room to sniff. After, we eat breakfast, I take my supplements, bowls are refreshed, pad cleaned, and our sitter locks the door. Nap time achieved.”
“Walk time means sunshine and squirrels. After the park, my paws get wiped, my bowl gets refilled, and I score a belly rub before the door clicks closed. Perfect routine.”
“I meet my sitter at the door for snuggles. Fancy feast, a little dry food, fountain refilled, and a tidy litter box. I lounge while my sister Antonia keeps a cozy eye on things.”
“I like quiet. My sitter refreshes our fountain, cleans our dishes, tidies litter, and speaks softly. If I stay tucked away, that is okay. Safety first, door locked, peace kept.”
From our paw parents
Real stories of trust, care, and happy tails. Premium pet care that feels personal.
Ellie
We are beyond happy with Tails On Trails services so far and especially with David our walker... Every day we look forward to reading the little note about how our Ellie did on her walk.
Cow
I really needed an experienced, loving, patient and knowledgeable person to not only walk Cow, but also act as a go to person... Judy is that person. She treats Cow as if he were her own and has my full recommendation.
Shane
Shane is a nine year Golden Retriever cancer survivor with 3 limbs but plenty of energy... Judy has always been kind, loving and patient with him. She is trustworthy and a familiar, friendly face for my family and me.
Frankie
My husband and I call Judy “Frankie’s girlfriend” because he is smitten with her... Judy is extremely reliable, loving, and professional. Frankie’s daily “Judy Dates” helped him adjust when we moved.
