About Tails on Trails
Whether you're away for the week, or just busy for the day, you deserve to know your pet is safe, happy, and loved.
​Tails on Trails is a local, family-run pet care service built on trust and genuine connection.
We don't just show up for your pet - we show up for you, too.
​
From daily walks to overnight stays, every booking is personal. Every update is honest. And every pet is cared like they're our own.
​
This isn't a side gig or a quick drop-in service. It's the work we've built our life around, and the reason Tails on Trails exists is rooted in the pets who started it all.
HEY, I'M IRENE!
I run Tails on Trails, and I care for your pet like I care for mine.
​
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. That's why I show up, stay consistent, and treat them like family, because that's what they are.
& THIS IS FERGUS!
Ever wondered about the dog in the logo?
T​hat'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.
