Fully tracked dog walks

Only with Tailster, you'll know for certain that your dog is being walked.

We'll send you an email with a route map, start and end times of the walk and the distance travelled. Your dog gets the exercise it needs, exactly at the time you arranged.

Let our walkers know your dog's favourite walks and parks and see on the map which one your dog visited today.

Instantly emailed to your inbox when the walk finishes, and at no extra cost.

Real time photo updates

We deliver real time photo updates from your carer straight to your email so you know that your pet is having as much fun as you are whilst you are away.

Photo updates include a timestamp and a map to show you where your pet's been playing.

Relax knowing that your carer is with your pet at the times you request and in the right place.

Comprehensive insurance and emergency vet care FREE OF CHARGE on all bookings

Your pet is important to us which is why when you book through Tailster, you'll automatically be covered by our insurance policy.

Our insurance cover includes emergency vet care, up to £5m public liability, loss of keys cover plus much more.

We make sure that your pet will be ready for anything, whatever the weather.

Bookings with Premium Carers are eligible for this cover at no extra cost, but only when you make your booking online or by calling us.

Easy and secure online payment

We look after your money while the Tailster carer looks after your pet.

For peace of mind, we only release these funds once you return from your holiday on your approval.

For walking and recurring bookings, leave behind the hassle of calculating cash payments. We'll handle it all for you with one weekly payment through Tailster - simple and flexible plans to give you more time to spend with your pet, not the ATM.

Customer Testimonials

“ Holly was fantastic. We went to see her before we left Shankly and she was really friendly and seemed to know dogs very well. Once we got back they seemed to have bonded and Shankly wasn't too bothered to see us! I will certainly be using her and Tailster's services again. ”

Bhavini - dog owner

“ Muddypaws was a better experience than I could have imagined! Wonderful people who offer excellent service and care. I believe my two dogs were saddened to have to go home with me after staying with Muddypaws and enjoying the long romps in the park and personal attention. Thank you Sarah, Ahmed and James and of course Tailster, fantastic job! ”

Chris - dog owner

“ Very pleased with the care my Loki received, many thanks Rossana I will definitely contact you for future booking through Tailster. ”

Claudia - dog owner

“ Tailster has brought me lots of new business and the chance to look after more pets than before. Their site is easy to use but if I ever need any help they are always at the end of the phone. I know I don't need to worry when looking after any pets as i'm insured through Tailster. ”
