Tails & Trails

Dog walking in Russell, Embrun and around.

Thirty-minute midday walks while you are at work. $25 a walk, on leash, in your own neighbourhood, with the same walker every time and a photo when they are home.

What a walk includes

  • Thirty minutes on the move, not thirty minutes including the drive.
  • On leash, always, on quiet streets and trails near your house. No dog parks, no off-leash.
  • Paw wipe at the door (a towel on muddy days), fresh water topped up, and a treat if you allow it.
  • A photo and a two-line note after every walk: where we went, how they did, anything you should know.

How a walk day goes

  1. 1

    You leave a key or a lockbox code with us once. It is kept on file and never labelled with your address.

  2. 2

    We text on the way. Consistent slot each week, between 10:30 and 2:30.

  3. 3

    Leash on, thirty minutes out, back through the same door. Doors locked, alarm reset if you have one.

  4. 4

    Photo and note land on your phone before we pull away.

Straight answers

  • One household per walk. Your dog is not getting bundled with strangers.
  • Heat warnings and extreme cold: shorter walk, more water, and a text. Missed walks are never charged.
  • Reactive dogs get a meet-and-greet first. If it is not a fit, we say so.
  • Walks are sold in weekly counts (1, 2, 3 or 5) so the days stay fixed and the route stays tight. One-off walks when there is room.

Add the weekly scoop

Two walks plus the weekly scoop is $75 a week, one charge. The yard stays clean and the dog is tired by five.

Questions about this

How do walks work if I'm at work?

We pick up from your home, walk thirty minutes in your neighbourhood, and bring them back. Key or lockbox code kept on file, and a photo when we're done.

When do walks happen?

Midday, between 10:30 and 2:30, Monday to Friday. You get a consistent slot; we text on the way each time.

On leash or off?

On leash, always. Your leash and harness, or ours if you prefer. We do not do off-leash or dog parks.

What about rain, heat or minus thirty?

Rain: we walk. Heat warnings and extreme cold: we shorten the walk, add water and a towel, and text you. A missed walk is never charged.

Two dogs?

Two dogs from the same house walk together for $10 more per walk. Three or more, ask; it depends on the dogs.

Puppies, seniors, reactive dogs?

Puppies and seniors are fine; we adjust pace and distance. For reactive dogs we do a meet-and-greet first and walk quiet routes. Aggressive dogs, we will be honest if it is not a fit.

What happens if you're sick or on holiday?

You get a text before your usual day, not after. Missed visits on our side are never charged, and planned time off goes out to clients ahead of time.
