About Tails on Trails
Whether you're away for the week, or just busy for the day, you deserve to know your pet is genuinely looked after.
Tails on Trails is a local pet care service built on trust and genuine connection.
I don't just show up for your pet. I show up for you, too.
From daily walks to overnight stays, every booking is personal.
Every update is honest. Every pet is cared for like they're my own.
This isn't a side gig or a quick drop-in service. It's the work I've built my life around, and the reason Tails on Trails exists is rooted in the pets who started it all.
HEY, I'M IRENE!
I started Tails on Trails because I couldn't find pet care I actually trusted. So I built it myself.
This business was born from love. From Ella, our angel dog, who sparked my rescue journey. From Franklin, who reminds me daily how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else.
Even my 5-year-old is growing up with muddy shoes and a deep belief that how you treat animals says everything about you. And Glenn, my partner, keeps things steady behind the scenes, usually with a raised eyebrow and a coffee in hand.
I know how much your pet means to you, because mine mean everything to me. I've felt that same guilt of leaving them, that same need to know they're okay. It's why I show up the way I do. Consistently, honestly, and with the kind of care I'd want for my own.
& THIS IS FERGUS!
Ever wondered about the dog in the logo?
That's Fergus, the Majestic Hound.
My first client, before Tails on Trails had a name, a plan, or even a proper lead.
He was the first dog I walked when this business was still just an idea - and the one who made it all feel possible.
He's no longer with us, but he's still part of everything:
in the logo, in the story and in the way I care.
Tails on Trails started with Fergus, and his spirit will always be here, quietly leading the way.
If you want a team that's real, reliable, and a little pet-obsessed, you've found us.
