It’s all about choosing the right environment for each dog 🐾

I intentionally plan routes in quieter, more remote areas where possible — not just for peace, but so I can really work with the dog.

It gives them space to relax, time to explore, safe off-lead opportunities where suitable, and helps us build focus, trust, and a genuine bond 💙

For me, walks aren’t just about exercise — they’re little adventures where your dog feels secure, understood, and happy.

That’s what Home to Every Tail is all about 🐶✨

‼️✨ 🧼 NEW SERVICE

Mud happens… especially in winter 🐾

Muddy paws, wet coats and dirty furniture can feel stressful — but dogs still deserve proper, enriching walks whatever the weather 🌧️🌿

I don’t shorten routes or avoid muddy paths just to keep dogs clean. Exploring, sniffing and getting a bit mucky is part of what makes walks so enjoyable and mentally fulfilling for them.

✨ Walk + Wash Option ✨

This combines a proper adventure walk with a warm clean-up afterwards — so dogs get the best of both worlds.

Your dog gets:
• A 1-hour adventure walk (minimum) — longer walks can be arranged
• Freedom to explore, sniff and be a dog
• A warm bath, dry & freshen-up
• Returned home clean, relaxed and happy 🛁🐶

🧼 Washes take place at Spruce Dog Salon (Ockbrook) — a calm, professional and beautiful space, ideal for confidence-building and post-walk pampering.

💰 Pricing
• 1-hour walk (minimum): £20
• Wash & dry: £30
• Intro offer — first 3 bookings only: £40 instead of £50

⏰ Advance booking required & subject to availability
🐾 All dogs are considered on an individual basis to ensure the experience is safe, calm and enjoyable for them

No pressure — just an option that works really nicely together 🤍

‼️ Important House Stay Update — Please Read 🐾

This is a genuine heads-up for all of my house stay clients🩵✨

As I’m planning the year ahead (including existing bookings and my own downtime/holidays) - I need to be really clear:

There will be dates I’m not available for, simply because there is only one of me‼️

Many of you have already shared your holiday dates in advance (thank you — that really helps). If you have any additional dates, or haven’t sent any yet, please let me know as soon as possible and I’ll see if I can accommodate where I can.

House stays are a huge responsibility, and my diary fills quickly, I have stopped taking on any new clients however, 1 person may have more than one holiday that they need cover for. While I always try to be as flexible and accommodating as possible, I can’t guarantee availability, especially for last-minute or unshared dates.

Because of this, I strongly advise having a backup option in place. This isn’t because I don’t care, it’s because I care enough to be honest, reliable, and realistic rather than over-promise and under-deliver. It’s also important to have a backup in place just in case of unexpected situations, such as illness or emergencies, where plans may need to change at short notice, which I hope never happens!!🙈

If I’m ever unable to help, I will always do my best to support you in finding an alternative, but please understand that sometimes a “no” is unavoidable.

This isn’t easy for me to say. I truly love this job and the trust you place in me, but protecting consistency, quality of care, and my own wellbeing is essential if I’m going to continue doing this properly.

Please also note that any availability shared previously may have changed. I’m unable to reserve or hold dates long-term, as my diary needs to remain flexible for both work and my own commitments.

I genuinely adore your pets, but I also need to respect my own time and life outside of work so I can keep showing up as my best self. This post comes from a place of genuine care and transparency.

Thank you so much for reading, understanding, and helping make planning easier on both sides 💙🩵🧡✨

🛁 Grooming Confidence Sessions 🐾

Did you know grooming doesn’t have to be stressful?

These sessions are designed to help dogs (especially puppies or nervous dogs) feel calm and confident around:
✨ bathing
✨ drying
✨ brushing
✨ grooming environments & sounds

No clipping, no blades — just gentle desensitisation, patience and positive experiences.

Sessions take place in a beautiful self-service dog salon in Ockbrook — professional, calm and very Instagram-worthy ✨

They’re also perfect if you simply want your dog bathed without the mess at home.

This job requires being switched on at all times — planning ahead, reading the dog, and never rushing.
Loving animals is essential, but professionalism is what keeps them safe 🐾

📩 Message me if you’d like to know more or book a session.

✨ Adventure Walks with Bobby ✨

Not just a walk — a proper adventure 🐕🌿

At weekends, I offer exclusive adventure outings for dogs who love to explore, sniff, hike and experience something new. These are longer, enriching walks in exciting locations — perfect for friendly, fit & adventurous dogs who need more than the same old route.

🐾 3 hours minimum
🐾 Pick-up, travel, exploring & drop-off included
🐾 One-to-one alongside Bobby (safe, calm socialisation)
🐾 Prices start from £45

I never assume dogs are happy walking with another dog — meet & greets are always done first, and this is only offered where it’s the right fit.

It’s busy, it’s demanding, and it requires full attention — but that’s exactly how I like it 🩵
Professional, consistent, and always putting the dogs first.

📩 Message me to chat about availability.
✨ Weekends only

🧥 Dog coats aren’t silly — they’re important for many dogs 🐾

I have heard many people say “Dogs don’t need coats” or “They aren’t dress up dolls” and I really want to address this as a dog owner myself, but also as a professional dog walker & sitter.

Cold, wet and windy weather can cause a dog’s body temperature to drop, especially if they get soaked. In more serious cases, this can lead to hypothermia, where the body struggles to stay warm and function properly.

Not all dogs show obvious signs of being cold, and some will keep going despite it, which is why it’s down to us as owners to assess the weather, ground conditions and walk length, rather than relying on behaviour alone, to ensure our dogs are safe and comfortable.

Coats help by retaining body heat, protecting from wind and rain, and preventing dogs from getting wet and chilled. They’re particularly beneficial for smaller breeds, puppies, older dogs, short-haired dogs, and those that love splashing through puddles and wet grass.

Not every dog needs a coat all the time…but for many, they are an important part of staying comfortable, healthy and happy 🩵🐶

First time with Freddie off the lead this morning, he is only 7 months old and full of beans, so we practice recall on the lead and have been building trust and a bond over the last few months with small walks & pet checks. Today he was absolutely ace & had the best time playing with Bobby😍 so proud of both of them. We had a lovely time ###

✨ Happy New Year ✨

Back to work and starting 2026 doing what I love 🐾
Here are a few little moments from my first days back with some very happy faces 🩵

I also wanted to share a gentle reminder and a little update going forward…

At the moment, I’m still not taking on any new house stay clients. There is only one of me, and I already have a large number of wonderful clients who rely on me for their holidays. To make sure I can continue giving the highest level of care — and remain reliable, consistent and well — I need to be realistic about my capacity.

As much as I adore this job and would love to keep expanding it, this business currently sits alongside other work I’m passionate about too. That means managing my diary carefully, protecting my energy, and making sure every pet I care for gets the time, attention and presence they deserve 🤍

✨ Exciting news for this year ✨
I’m hoping to buy my own home, which will allow me to offer a new boarding-style option at my own house. This will be offered to existing clients first, and only where it feels like the right fit.

This option will suit some dogs beautifully — they’ll have constant company, a calm home environment, and my dog Bobby for company too. For others, staying in their own home will always be the best choice, and I completely understand and stand by that. Familiar smells, routines and surroundings are so important for many pets, and I will absolutely continue offering traditional house stays where that’s what your dog needs.

For any current clients who may consider this option in the future, introductions would always be done gradually and thoughtfully. This could include shared walks or gentle socialisation beforehand, purely to make sure everyone feels comfortable and confident. Nothing would ever be rushed or forced — it’s about what’s right for each individual dog 🐾

There’s no pressure either way — it’s simply another option, and everything would still be done properly: meet & greets at my home, routine checks, and making sure all dogs are comfortable and compatible.

Once I know what my capacity looks like with this new setup, I’ll be able to review availability again in the future — but for now, thank you so much for your patience, understanding and continued trust. It truly means everything 🩵

Here’s to another year of happy pets, muddy walks and doing things properly ✨🐶

A lovely house stay with Oscar 🐾🖤

I’ve had such a wonderful time looking after Oscar — a calm, gentle soul who has been an absolute pleasure to care for. His owner very kindly allowed me to bring Bobby along too, which is never something I expect or assume. Every dog is different — some love canine company, some don’t, and some may enjoy other dogs but not every dog they meet. For that reason, I would only ever consider bringing my own dog if the owner suggests it first, and if so, Bobby would attend the meet & greet to ensure everyone is completely comfortable. It’s never essential to my service, but it was such a lovely bonus on this stay 🥰

The best part? Oscar and Bobby got on beautifully. Despite their age difference, they found their own rhythm — a little play, lots of chilling, sleeping side by side, and Oscar even wandering around the house looking for Bobby when he couldn’t see him 🥹

We also enjoyed some gentle potters down the lane together — slow, steady and at Oscar’s pace. Even though his legs aren’t what they used to be, getting out for a little wander, taking in the sights and having a good sniff is so important for their mental wellbeing, and he absolutely loved it 🐾🌿

This stay was a great reminder of why no two house stays are ever the same. Every dog has their own needs, routines and quirks, and that’s something I genuinely love about this job. Oscar’s care looked different to others I’ve done — from medication, to a bit of extra support getting comfortable, to the occasional indoor accident — all completely normal and handled with patience and care. He is truly no trouble at all, just a lovely older gent who deserves comfort, dignity and familiarity 💙

And that’s exactly why house stays are so important. Being in their own home, with familiar smells, routines and surroundings, allows dogs — especially older ones — to feel settled, relaxed and safe.

Thank you for trusting me with your home and your very special boy. It’s been an absolute pleasure 🐾

A lovely house stay with young Pattie 🐶 & her two siblings, Velvet & Frankie 🐈‍⬛ AND ‼️IMPORTANT UPDATE regarding House Stays 🐾
‼️Please read‼️

What a pleasure the past two nights have been 🥰
We’ve had lots of fun, fuss, and attention, and today I took Pattie out on an adventure walk. She absolutely thrived in the new experience — exploring, building confidence, and discovering new sniff spots. It really is those extra touches that make my job feel so special to me 😚

House stays update 🏡🐾

Because house stays require such a high level of commitment, and with demand currently very high, my diary for house stays is now at capacity.

This decision has been made with the intention of keeping my current clients consistent and giving them the opportunity to book with me again next year. Not only is this important to me, but it is extremely important for both the client and their pets ❣️

‼️For this reason, I’ve made the decision not to take on any new house stay clients at the moment (This will be reviewed, and I’ll share an update once I have the availability to open my diary again & any last-minute cancellations will be shared on my stories).

There is only one of me, and these are incredibly important, time-intensive jobs that I want to continue doing properly. I also need to ensure I don’t take on more than I can manage, as I don’t want this to affect my health — mentally or physically. Putting these boundaries in place allows me to stay on top form and continue providing a professional, caring, and consistent service for everyone, while still being fair to myself.

Thank you to everyone who trusts me with their homes and animals — it truly means the world. Thank you so much for reading and for understanding 🩵

Regular clients:
In regard to bookings for next year, if you already know your dates, please let me know as soon as possible. I still need to book my own holidays, downtime, and commitments, so I can ensure your dates are secured before I book the rest of mine.

I apologise in advance if I’m unable to be available for you. I will always do my best to help find an alternative where possible, but I can only do what I can — and as mentioned, there is only one of me. Please book in advance where you can ✨
