Perfect for a quick burst of exercise and exploration, our experienced and caring walkers will lead your dog through your neighborhood and parks. They will provide essential physical activity and mental stimulation while you are out or busy! Whether it's a lunchtime break or a boost of energy, our 30-minute walks ensure your dog gets quality outdoor time, returning home happy, healthy, and ready for cuddles. Our 30-minute dog walking service is designed to provide the perfect amount of exercise and mental stimulation for most dogs. Whether your dog needs a mid-day energy outlet or just a reliable routine while you're at work, this option offers consistency and care from an experienced, trusted professional.
45 Minute Dog Walks Elevate your dog's daily routine with Trails and Tails Dog Walking's revitalizing 45-minute walks! These extended adventures allow your canine companion to fully immerse themselves in the sights, sounds, and smells of the outdoors to break up their day. Our dedicated walkers provide a safe and stimulating environment, ensuring your dog gets a satisfying dose of exercise and mental enrichment amidst no matter Seattle's weather. Perfect for dogs with extra energy or those who simply love to explore, our 45-minute walks promise a happy, well-exercised pup eager to relax upon their return. Our 45-minute dog walking service is ideal for dogs who need more than just a quick outing. Whether your dog is high-energy, needs extra time outdoors for behavioral support, or simply enjoys an extended walk, this option offers the time and attention necessary to meet those needs.
60 Minute Dog Walks Our 60-minute dog walking service is designed for dogs who thrive with extended time outdoors. Whether your dog has high energy, needs extra mental stimulation, or simply enjoys a longer, unhurried walk, this option provides a full hour of dedicated one-on-one time with an experienced walker. This is our most comprehensive walking service, ideal for pets who benefit from physical activity combined with a calm, focused routine. A one-hour walk offers more than just exercise—it allows your dog the time and space to fully engage with their environment. For active breeds or younger dogs with plenty of energy, a 60-minute outing helps prevent restlessness, reduces unwanted behaviors, and supports overall health. The extended length also gives us the flexibility to walk at a relaxed pace, which can be beneficial for senior dogs or those recovering from injury who still need to stay mobile without being rushed.
90 Minute Dog Walk A full 90-minute walk is perfect for working breeds, active young dogs, or dogs training for higher levels of physical endurance. It's also a great solution for dogs who may be left home alone for longer periods of time and need more interaction to stay balanced and content. With a longer walk, your dog has time to settle into a relaxed pace, explore a wider range of terrain, and enjoy moments of rest or play as needed. This isn’t a rushed visit—it’s a dedicated session focused entirely on your dog’s well-being.

Each 90-minute walk is customized to suit your dog’s energy level, behavior, and preferences. Some dogs benefit from a structured pace with consistent movement, while others may enjoy a varied route that includes park time, sniff breaks, or calm moments in quieter areas. Our walkers are experienced in managing longer walks and know how to read cues from dogs that might need breaks, encouragement, or additional attention. As always, water breaks and waste cleanup are included.
Dog Sitting When you need to leave your fur baby behind during long days, we are here for them! A walker can come to you, give your doggo the pets, belly rubs, and treats that they need! Our walkers are experienced at working with dogs who need medication administered, or special attention as well.

Dogs go out four-six times a day (depending on their habits) for 15 minute intervals. We will send you pictures and updates! Dog pick up is also available for additional fee (depending on location).

Trails & Tails is incredible. Our dog Rikki has walked with Keith for 3.5 years (where does the time go?!). On the rare occasions he’s unavailable, owner Michelle steps in seamlessly. “Keith is coming” is Rikki’s favorite phrase—Keith is a true dog whisperer, attentive to what Rikki needs, and he sends the sweetest daily photos (a little documentary of Rikki’s life). Coordination is seamless through their portal, and Keith has also house/dog-sat for us while we travel—always perfect. We trust Keith, Michelle, and the whole Trails & Tails team with anything. With our busy work schedules, it’s such a relief knowing Rikki has Trails & Tails as part of his pack.

Top-notch! I was nervous to trust anyone with my little buddy and my home, but needed support with noontime medication administration and walking when I started a new job. Trails and Tails earned my trust via daily reports with photos, and quick responses to any questions I had. Most importantly, my dog was clearly happy - which says it all. Highly recommended.

We used this dog walking company for two years and the dog walkers were excellent. We have a really challenging dog and they were knowledgeable and patient, very reliable and also flexible when our schedules changed. We were nervous initially, worried that something would go wrong because our dog can be difficult, but it quickly became clear that he was in such good hands. Jackson in particular was so great, and Cory especially, who went so far above and beyond as to train our dog to walk better, so that even when we walked him ourselves, it became easier. Would recommend Trails and Tails to anyone!

I Love Trails & Tails. The crew is super responsive and responsible, and we ALWAYS get post-walk updates to know how things went. Our walker Cory is fabulous, and he adores our stubborn bulldog mix. I'd strongly recommend!

I was only in Seattle for a short time while doing a travel nursing assignment, and my dog traveled with me. I can't say enough amazing things about this dog walking company. They were super flexible to my schedule and even dog sat for me while I was out of town. Kay and Michelle did such an amazing job with my dog Benny, and I was put at ease knowing he was cared for and loved in their care. They never cancelled on me, were incredibly reliable, and very accommodating to last minutes schedule changes. I would 110% recommend them to care for your fur baby!

Jenny is wonderful. She is always prompt and both of the dogs are always very happy to see her and get to go on their lunch walk. She went out of her way to take care of our cattle dog after he had spinal surgery and I always know the dogs are being very well taken care of when sh is around. I cannot recommend Jenny and Trails and Tails enough.

The absolute best dog walking service in Seattle! I have two little dogs that take awhile to build trust with people, and the dog walkers with Trails & Tails were fantastic with them. They took the time to build the trust, really listen and watch the dogs for their needs, and create a genuine relationship with them.
I also love the walk journals, where they share pictures and status updates for each walk; my doggos always had the biggest smile and happy, relaxed postures in all their pictures!
The scheduling process is easy, flexible, and everyone is a joy to work with. I cannot recommend them high enough!

Very happy with Trails and Tails. Michelle and our walker Keith are professional, responsive, and have made the process easy despite our inconsistent schedule. Greatly appreciate Keith's patience with our 70 lbs skittish pup. Write-ups, photos and other data provided with each walk is a neat bonus. Would recommend!

Michelle and crew are amazing. We have had dogs over 25 years and have had a number of dog walkers/sitters. When I interview her she greeted our dog, but did not over do it to impress me with her ‘dog whispering’ skills. I found this to be impressive. Our dog loves her and goes nuts when she comes. When she leaves he often wants to go with her! Michelle is an organized professional business person, emails daily reports and cute pics, on top of all communication, organized billing, always works around your needs. Thank you Michelle!

When I met owner Michelle and our walker Kay, I knew we found good people to help walk our little bud, Charlie. The process was painless and professional, the app is super easy and convenient to get reports of walks and manage the walk schedule, plus we get stupidly cute photos of our dog on every walk! We had some hits and misses previously with Rover, but Trails and Tails has been a great experience. I really like that we have a dedicated walker who my partner and I got to meet, and who genuinely enjoys spending time with our little one! Kay was so patient getting to know Charlie when he was warming up to have a new walker and I’m so grateful for how they’ve progressed. The peace of mind is incredibly valuable!
