Welcome to Tails & Trails Dog Walking

Welcome!

Tails & Trails Dog Walking, established in 2021, is a locally owned dog walking service based in Carlisle, dedicated to providing exceptional care and outdoor adventures for your dogs. Since the business was founded by me (Emily), I have built a reputation for trust, reliability, and personalised attention, ensuring that each dog that I walk gets the exercise, companionship, and care that they need.

Whether it's a leisurely walk through Carlisle's scenic parks or a more adventurous trek along nearby trails, I tailor my services to meet the unique needs of every dog, ensuring they have the best experience possible. With years of experience and bundles of passion, I treat each dog like a member of my family, providing them with a fun and safe outing.

As a small, community-focused business, I take pride in offering flexible walking schedules and building lasting relationships with both my clients and their dogs. Since 2021, Tails & Trails has been committed to providing high-quality dog walking services that promote health, happiness, and well-being for your pets.

Safety & Care

At Tails & Trails Carlisle, your dog’s wellbeing is my top priority. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own — with love, patience, and the highest standards of safety and professionalism.


🐾 Safety First

  • All dogs must, by law, be microchipped and wear a visible ID tag on their collar. Please ensure your contact details are up to date — in the rare event that your dog becomes lost, you will be notified immediately.

  • Dogs will only be walked off-lead with written consent from the owner and only in safe, appropriate areas where I’m confident they can enjoy freedom without risk.

  • Dogs travel securely in fitted crates within my van, with access to fresh water and regular checks to ensure their comfort and safety.

  • I am fully insured with professional pet business insurance for your peace of mind.


📋 Enrolment & Paperwork

Before your dog joins Tails & Trails, I’ll provide full enrolment paperwork to ensure I have all the information I need to deliver safe, personalised care. This includes:

  • Terms & Conditions

  • Pet Information Form

  • Veterinary Consent Form

  • Key Release Form

  • Photography Consent Form

  • Service Agreement

These documents help me provide informed care and respond quickly and effectively in any situation.


📚 Professional & Transparent

I am committed to ongoing professional development to stay up to date with the latest industry standards, safety practices, and canine care knowledge. You can always expect honesty and open communication from me — if something happens during your dog’s time with me, you’ll be the first to know.

Emily is a god send for me and my little rehomed pooch. Margot has the best time on her walks and has made so many new friends. The infinite waggy tails and action shots say it all. I would not go anywhere else!! THE BEST. We both appreciate her (and Jasper the co-pilot) so much.
