5+ years ago, I had a very large, very high-energy rescue dog that I was struggling to wear out on a daily basis. He grew too big for my young son to walk. I work full-time and getting in multiple walks per day was exhausting. When I hired Trails & Tails, my life completely changed! I have had the same walker, Keith, for years. No swapping up of walkers like some companies do! He is incredibly trustworthy, reliable, cheerful, and has a great relationship with my dog. Keith and others have been amazing pet-sitters, as well. I highly recommend Michelle and her capable team.

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!

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.

The absolute best dog walking service in Seattle! I have two little dogs that take awhile to build trust with people, and the dog walkers with Trails & Tails were fantastic with them. They took the time to build the trust, really listen and watch the dogs for their needs, and create a genuine relationship with them.
I also love the walk journals, where they share pictures and status updates for each walk; my doggos always had the biggest smile and happy, relaxed postures in all their pictures!
The scheduling process is easy, flexible, and everyone is a joy to work with. I cannot recommend them high enough!

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.

Very happy with Trails and Tails. Michelle and our walker Keith are professional, responsive, and have made the process easy despite our inconsistent schedule. Greatly appreciate Keith's patience with our 70 lbs skittish pup. Write-ups, photos and other data provided with each walk is a neat bonus. Would recommend!
