Your pet’s safety, happiness, and your peace of mind are our top priorities. Using BarkCode technology, we scan in at every visit so you receive an immediate email confirming we’ve arrived. GPS then tracks our walk or visit and provides a detailed summary, including where we went and how long we spent with your pet. This real-time tracking keeps us fully accountable and lets you relax, knowing exactly what’s happening. With over 12 years in business and a growing team of 35 pet lovers, we’re here for dog walking, pet sitting, and dog training you can truly trust. We love greeting the dogs every day and watching their faces light up when they see us. Reach out today to schedule a meet-and-greet.

They were so prompt to respond, really rallied to find pros who had experience with giving cats insulin shots and even found folks to do it on Christmas (twice!). Way above and beyond. I was so relieved. Very reliable!

Lexi Born of Tails and Trails is a true Superstar Top Pro. From the very first day when Lexi connected with our furry pet pup Kai she sat down on the floor and cuddled him with genuine affection. The digital scan records the walking time in and out the house. The affordable price was accurate and the auto Monday auto bank charge made the job hassle payment free. Tails and Trails deserves the very best customer review. The administration is awesome and there are no surprises. The daily photo and walk reports are terrific. We traveled out of State for the Thanksgiving holidays, and will most certainly continue with Lexi when we return home. The attention to detail such as wiping Kai's feet off before bringing him back inside the house is impressive. Lexi is also flexible to your needs and text msgs notices prior to arriving for her services. A true Professional we applaud and appreciate Ms Born for her work. All kudos to Tails and Trails for maintaining such high quality standards in their personnel. Our experience has been second to none. Thank you Tails and Trails and Lexi born for making our Kai a happy dog.

Details: 1 dog • 2 - 10 years old • Extra large (70+ lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • No preference • My home, venue, etc.

Simon, our standard poodle, has been walked by Jeff with Dog Gone walking five times a week since early January 2014.

Jeff and his wife Jaimee, who are the owners, came to our home so we could all interview each other to make sure it was a good fit. We instantly felt comfortable with them and we could tell Simon liked them too. Simon has been pretty shy and nervous in certain circumstances and we have seen Simon's confidence grow since Jeff has been walking him.

We love the fact that when Jeff arrives at our house he scans a barcode that sends us an email notifying us that the walk has begun. At the end of the walk we get another email with details of the walk and sometimes some fun photos too.

It's of great comfort that we know Simon is being well taken care of, loved, and that we have someone dependable to take him out while we are at work. If Jeff has any concerns about Simon he sends me a text right away, which is much appreciated.

We feel confident with Dog Gone Walking that Simon is being well taken care and fully trust them to have our home key and alarm code. It's good to know we also have a backup if an emergency ever came up and couldn't get home. We know we could rely on them to help out with Simon.

Great experience! Manager came to meet with me and see what to do for my cat. Very responsive when contacted for any reason. They set you up on an electronic sitting profile to make it easy to schedule and pay. My cat can be kind of shy but she came out the second day the sitter came and was able to play with her quite a bit. I enjoyed the daily pictures and check in and check out process.

Details: Cat • 1 pet • Changing litter or bedding • Giving food and water • Providing companionship • Short visit (30 minutes) • A few times a week • My home, venue, etc.
