Happy Walk & Tails Caring for Your Dog Like Family
I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities, from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior dogs who need a gentler touch. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or administering basic care, I treat every pup as if they’re my own. I’m attentive to routines, comfortable with different temperaments, and always focused on safety and happiness. What makes me different is my balance of reliability and genuine love for animals. I don’t just walk dogs, I engage with them, paying attention to their body language, energy levels, and individual needs. I’m patient with puppies during training, experienced with leash manners, and caring with seniors who need slower, more mindful walks. Communication with pet parents is also a priority; you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

Ratings and reviews
Emily was great with Alfie, she kept us updated and took him all over the place. He was clearly very happy with her and absolutely knackered after the weekend he spent there. We will definitely look to use her again!
Emily provided fantastic care for Billy. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel completely at ease and welcome, and it was clear how thoughtful and attentive she is when it comes to looking after Billy. She also kept us reassured with regular updates while we were away, which we really appreciated. Billy had a wonderful stay with Emily, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have him stay with her again in the future.
Emily was absolutely amazing. She gave us loads of updates, made us feel really at ease with Betty and the little pup didn’t want to leave! We’ll definitely be booking with Emily again
Emily was brilliant and we’re so glad we chose her to look after Max! She was super communicative, always updated us on how Max was doing and Max clearly loved being looked after by Emily! Thanks so much, it’s great to know we have someone who loves Max and that we trust so close to home! Highly recommend!
Emily was exceptional. I couldn't recommend her more. She comes from a big family that with big dogs so we felt very comfortable with her from the outset. The moment she arrived, it was obvious Emily was a dog lover and that our boys were in safe hands! We have two dogs - an old Cocker spaniel and a 4 year old Swiss Shepherd. The Swissy can be a bit of a handful but Emily had no problem with him whatsoever. When it came to entrusting Emily with our home, our apprehension evaporated the moment we met her. She was personable and incredibly polite/respectful (admittedly there wasn't too much apprehension prior to meeting Emily because she came across very well over the phone... nevertheless, you just don't know until you meet someone in the flesh!). 10/10 🐶
We had Emily pet sit our three cats recently whilst we were away on holiday and I can’t thank her enough. She went above and beyond to keep our cats happy and comfortable. I would trust her over and over again to look after them. I recommend Emily to anyone who wants their pets looked after to the highest quality. Thank you Emily 🐱

Schedule
I work flexibly from home and for myself, which means I can easily adjust my day around your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a morning walk, midday playtime, or evening care, I’m available to keep their routine consistent and give them plenty of attention and love.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. In your home, I follow your routines closely, keeping pets in their familiar environment with minimal stress. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether that’s medication, extra playtime, or calm companionship. If caring in my home, pets enjoy a safe, pet-friendly space with plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
A typical day
Every pup’s day is tailored to their personality and needs, but it always starts with lots of love and attention. We’ll head out for walks—whether that’s a lively park adventure, a calm neighbourhood stroll, or a chance to sniff and explore at their own pace. Playtime is a must, with fetch, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys to keep both their body and mind active. For pups who enjoy downtime, there’s plenty of cozy cuddle time and relaxation. I also make sure routines are kept; feeding, bathroom breaks, and any special care like medications or grooming. Throughout the day, you’ll get photo updates and notes so you can see how happy and content your furry friend is.
