At Tails of the City, we treat every furry friend like part of our own family. Whether it’s a leisurely dog walk along the canals, a run around in one of the beautiful parks, or some cozy cuddle time at home, we make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. Living and working in the city ourselves, we know how busy life can get, so we’re here to give you peace of mind and your pets the attention they deserve. From playful walks to in-home pet sitting, we tailor our care to each animal’s personality—because every pet is unique, and every tail wag matters to us.

DOG WALKING

We understand there is not a one size fits all approach, although we generally walk dogs in packs no bigger than three. Each breed and each dog is different, as is their exercise requirements. We are comfortable and experienced with very active walks, walking large dogs or dogs with behavioural issues who require strong leash skills. During extreme weather, we will always attend to your pet so they can relieve themselves. We will then make a judgement as to whether they are comfortable walking in the conditions, and if needed, we will return them home early, spending the remainder of the appointment ensuring they are dry and entertained with cuddles and play time instead.

IN-HOME DAYCARE

Are you stuck in the office all day with no time to interact with your pooch? Does your dog have separation anxiety? Are they recovering from injury and need some personal attention? Our in-home daycare service at can help you in all of these scenarios. We can visit your dog at several intervals throughout the day to provide enrichment in the form of walks, play and cuddle time.

IN-HOME BOARDING

Are you going out of town, whether that be for one night, a weekend or on a longer holiday? We provide an in-home overnight service for local clients (postcodes 1016, 1054, 1053 and 1071). Your dog will be walked according to their usual walk schedule and kept company for the majority of the evening and throughout the night. We ensure there is ample time built in for play and tickles, as well as observing your dog’s regular feeding timetable. We will also happily water plants, take in mail, and ensure your home is found exactly how you left it. We can also pick up basic groceries so that your return home is as smooth as possible. Included in any overnight stay, is a morning walk on the day of your return home. Should you require care beyond 1100, our standard daycare rate will be applied.

PET SITTING

Tails of the City was not created to solely cater to dogs, and we feel fortunate to count cats, rodents, reptiles and birds on our client list too. We offer one or two home visits per day, with each appointment lasting at least 30 minutes. However we pride ourselves on being flexible, so if you require each visit to be longer, or would like to have multiple visits per day, please do contact us for a bespoke quote. We also offer in-home overnight care for your pet if required. During our visit, we will feed and water your pet, clean litter boxes and cages and ensure there’s enough time left over for the all-important play time so your pet stays stimulated. We can also open and close curtains, turn lights on and off and anything else required to help with security.

VET / GROOMING VISITS

Does your cat need to go to the vet for their annual vaccinations, but the only slot available is inconvenient for you? Has your dog been to the vet and now requires a follow up consultation, but you have an important work meeting that you can’t miss? Is your dog’s hair getting so long people are starting to think he’s joined a rock band? Panic not, the team at Tail Towers are here to help you. We will collect your pet and take them to their appointment before delivering them back home with confirmation of any medication / follow up instructions.
