As a result of my injury, you may have seen me mention taking bookings for drop-ins in my recent posts. If youโve asked โwhatโs thatโ or โwhy would I book oneโ, this reel is for you ๐พ
If you have to spend a day away from home for any reason (working in the office, family commitments, attending an event like a wedding or a party etc.) and donโt want to leave your dog alone and / or outside for the duration, you can book a drop-in with me โบ๏ธ
Iโll spend the time playing, cuddling and giving your dog some mental stimulation to break the day up for them. Theyโll also be able to go outside and do their business, and I can top up their water, and give them food as needed too.
Big thanks to the stars of the video, Bertie, Sonny, Chilli, Rosie, Bea and Bella who enjoyed drop-ins with me over the past couple of days ๐โฅ๏ธ

Short update on the shoulder situation ๐ญ
โผ๏ธ Weekend slots โผ๏ธ
Want to book your dog in for a walk or drop-in this Saturday 23rd or Sunday 24th March??
Rates will increase to time and a half for Saturday and double for Sunday e.g. if you usually pay โฌ10 for a weekday slot, the same booking would cost โฌ15 on Saturday or โฌ20 on Sunday.
First come first served so send me a message if you want to secure your slot ๐พ
โ๏ธ What a miserable day โ๏ธ
It doesnโt mean your pup has to miss out though! When the rain is really bad or if thereโs rain warnings, I can still make sure your dog is looked after.
If someone has booked a walking slot for a day like today, I will not walk the dog but instead call to the house, let them out to the loo and back in, top up their water / food, and play with them indoors for the duration booked. (However, if the customer prefers, I would reschedule (where possible) or cancel instead - I understand drop-ins arenโt a suitable alternative for everyone.)
While I love taking dogs on walks, mental stimulation via interaction and indoor play is also very important for dogsโ wellbeing.
Drop in slots might also be suitable for dogs who are unable to walk outdoors for any reason (waiting for vaccinations, in heat, recovering from an injury or surgery etc.).
Hereโs a snapshot of some of todayโs gorgeous boys and girls enjoying their time with Tails & Trails

The Sunday night fear that I used to feel so intensely before doesnโt really exist for me anymore - when your Mondays look like this, how could it? ๐ฅฐ I feel so extremely lucky I get to do something I love as my job (even when the rain pelts down so heavily I can wring water from my socks inside my wellington boots when I get home ๐). Hope you enjoy this little snapshot from my day today - thanks to all the best doggos (and their humans) who make it possible ๐พ
๐นHappy Love Day ๐น

This dog has better self control than I do ๐คฃ
Hi all ๐๐ป Would really appreciate if you could take a few minutes to listen to this short video, and share it with your friends.
Iโm continually working to gain new clients and ensure my existing clients are happy, so someone using my businessโs contact details to take bookings for which they donโt then show up is really detrimental. Iโm hoping itโs an innocent mistake that can be resolved easily but in the meantime, it would really help me if you could share with others to get the word out there. Thank you ๐พ
A dog is for life, not just for Christmas.
Look how cute and tiny ๐ฅน๐ฅน But remember, puppies grow and they grow quickly and they grow big. Check out the comments to see how my 2 changed.
They are still cute but tiny they are not.
If you do decide to bring a dog into your family this Christmas, please ensure itโs a carefully considered decision. Youโll need to make sure you have the means, space, time and most importantly, love to give them.
Dogs are expensive ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ
Itโs not just food, but licenses, insurance, vet bills, medications, kennels / boarding, toys, beddingโฆthe list is endless. I wouldnโt trade mine for the world, but I would advise anyone to ensure they are making the right decision to get a dog ๐พ
The head tilt ๐ฅน๐ฅน Sonny is just too cute for his own good ๐ฉต
Just a gentle reminder to all dog owners to ensure your dog is in a secured area or on leash if theyโre not friendly around other dogs or humans. Sonny and I got a bit of a fright this morning on our walk when a dog ran out of their garden and โgreetedโ Sonny a bit too aggressively. Thankfully Sonny was fine apart from a bit of a scare, but we were both shaken. I spent some extra time with Sonny when I dropped him home to make sure he was 100%; this video was taken then so you can see heโs ok, but not a very enjoyable experience for both of us. Letโs all ensure weโre all aware and responsible dog owners ๐พ
