Who would have thought our little pipe dream of a business would make it to its 6th anniversary?!

We are so grateful to everyone who has supported us over these past six years; from clients, to family and friends. We obviously couldn't have done this without you.

Apologies for the lack of posting lately. It's been a pretty hectic summer and our boarding service is pretty much fully booked until the end of January. Check your emails for the very few available dates left.

In the meantime, look how cute the dog squad is today!

The other side of the 'best job in the world'.

Last month we said our final goodbye to 15yo Barrett, having looked after him almost every day for the past 5 years. It's taken us a while to post this as it's just been too difficult to put into words.

Barrett was a huge personality in a tiny dog. Having helped his owner out during a work emergency in January 2019, Barrett soon became a regular fixture on our schedule, initially with two walks each day, before coming for daycare every weekday.

He also boarded with us often, and we took him on holiday with us multiple times, including for Gary's 40th birthday. Like all of the dogs we look after regularly, he became part of our family.

Because of this, we noticed when he first exhibited serious health issues. We were told by the MCD that he had 24 hours to live, but we got three extra 'bonus' years thanks to his fighting spirit.

We were there at the end when he went to sleep, and were able to give him, and his owner, a final comforting cuddle. When owners ask us to help them through this sad stage of pet ownership, it's always the most humbling experience, despite also being the hardest. We arranged Barrett's cremation for his owner and he's sitting safe and sound on our mantlepiece until he can be reunited with his owner.

Social media often only shows the fun and happy side of the pet sitting industry, so we wanted to keep it real and show another side to it. Thank you to all owners who allow us to also say our goodbyes in order to start our own grieving and closure process.

RIP Barrett, thank you for the memories.

Tails of the City will be closed from 17th September to 3rd October inclusive, to allow Team Tails to take their first holiday together in seven years! We can't think of any better way to celebrate the 5th anniversary of our little business.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you all again when we get back, refreshed, and raring to go again.

Tails Terrace is getting ready to open again for the upcoming nice weather, and Bonnie decided to help by supervising, although we're not sure sitting on the table we just cleaned can be classed as 'helping'. It's a good job she's so cute!

It wouldn't be a coffee break without a dog needing a cuddle. Not that you'll ever find us complaining about that!

We're very sorry for the lull in social media posting. It's been an incredibly busy start to the year, but as you can see, there's always time for snuggles.

We are already booking up well into summer and autumn, so if you need help, please let us know sooner than later to avoid disappointment.

Well that was quite the hectic Christmas! And it's just as busy in the run up to New Year.

Our boarding services are currently booked up until the beginning of March, so if you need our help, please do let us know in good time to avoid disappointment.

We're sorry our social media has been so quiet recently. We thought after the busy summer holiday period things would quieten down, but that's not been the case, and never more so than on Thanksgiving week when we are looking after these beautiful boarders.

Our long morning walk in the nearby park sets all of us up well for the chilly day ahead, which shall be spent playing and snuggling in the warmth. There are no outside kennels at Tails Towers! Just humans and dog beds to cuddle up on as they so wish.
