Are you a registered company and where is your premises?

 

I am a registered sole trader, trading as Tail Trails.  The business name is also registered.  Tail Trails does not have a premises as we are out walking and tending to pets all day.  Any admin work is done from home.  I live in Wicklow Town. 

What are your prices?   

 

As with any price for any service this really depends on what your requirements are so I don't quote a price for you until I have met you and your animal/animals.  Discounts do apply for anyone booking three or more walks, or for anyone booking three days or more pet-sitting.  I endeavour to be as flexible as possible on price and work out the best package for you and your pets.

How many dogs do you walk at a time and how safe will my dog/s be with you?

 

I walk anything from one to five dogs depending on temperament and socialisation.  I aim to find out as much as I can pre-walk about your dog so that I can best fit him in to the group schedule depending on your pets level of socialisation.  Ido individual walks also as some dogs are not happy to walk with others, or may need more one-on-one attention.  Each dog is different and will have different exercise wants and needs so I endeavour to give your dog the best option for optimum exercise, enjoyment and of course, safety.  All dogs are walked on lead only to ensure their safety and to comply with the law and with insurance requirements.  As an extra precaution I use a walking belt and my own leads to ensure as high a standard of security and safety as I can. Any client is more than welcome to join us for a walk at any time. 

​

EXCEPTIONS:  *Please note that if your dog is not lead trained, or difficult for you to walk, it is probable that I will be unable to take him/her on as a regular walker. Whilst your dog may not be aggressive with you there is quite a difference when someone else enters your home to care for or walk your pets. At the core of my work is the safety and wellbeing of the animals entrusted to my care,  my own safety and the safety of the public. I must insist that dogs be lead trained and non-aggressive for both their safety and mine. If a dog proves difficult to care for or walk, I must decline. I am not a dog trainer but am more than happy to recommend an appropriate trainer should you want or need help with training your dog.

So you take my pets in while I'm away? 
No.  I visit your home while you are away.   The standard pet-sitting package is two visits a day - one longer with a walk and one to check on pets and give them some attention and time.  I can tailor a package to your needs.  If you need more visits or exercise we can accommodate you to get the best option for your pets.

Do you just mind cats and dogs? 

I am happy to tend to any of your pets (within reason!) as long as I am instructed in how to do so before you leave and as long as said pets are non-aggressive and happy for me to care for them.  I have cared for cats, dogs, lizards, hens and fish.  I'll also pull blinds/curtains, leave out bins, switch on lights or water your plants.  If you need it done, just ask!

How do I book?

Call me on 086 405 1358 or send an email and I will be happy to come meet you and your pets to discuss your needs.  If you decide to Tail Trails, I have some short forms I ask clients to fill in with pet and vet details etc..  I will of course leave you a copy of our terms and conditions and make any necessary arrangements for pet collection or key collection if you are going to be away.  For new clients requiring pet sitting I require at least two weeks notice as it gives both the minder and the animals time to get acquainted before you go away.
