When you’re away at work or running errands, your dog still needs exercise, bathroom breaks, and a friendly face to brighten their day. That’s where Tails on Trails comes in — proudly serving Severn, Odenton, Hanover, Gambrills, Crofton, Millersville, Severna Park, Arnold, and Annapolis with professional, reliable mid-day dog walking services.

Here’s why local dog owners have trusted us for over 15 years — and why we might be the right fit for your furry friend too.


🐶 1. We Hire Employees, Not Contractors

Unlike many dog walking companies, we hire our walkers as employees, not independent contractors of freelancers. Because our walkers are part of our team—not just temporary help—we build strong, ongoing relationships with them. They’re not only committed to the pets they care for, but they also fully understand and uphold the values and ethics that Tails on Trails stands for.

👉 Your dog isn’t just meeting a random person with a leash — they’re meeting a dedicated, professional team member.


🎓 2. Trained, Experienced Staff Who Truly Understand Dogs

Our walkers aren’t just dog lovers — they’re trained to handle a variety of temperaments and behaviors, including nervous or anxious pups.

One long-time client shared:

“Our dog is quite nervous and anxious, but all of the walkers truly understand dogs and have been incredibly patient with her as she develops trust with new people.”

Whether your dog is shy, high-energy, or a little tricky to wrangle, our team adapts to meet their needs with patience and professionalism.


💬 4. Open Communication with Your Walker

We make it easy to stay in touch with your dog walker so you can share last-minute notes or updates—whether it’s “the cleaners will be here today” or “please skip the muddy trail.” Just leave a message through our scheduling system, and your walker will be informed before the visit.


🛰️ 5. Visit Oversight and Detailed After-Care Reports

At Tails on Trails, our walkers operate under the guidance of a full-time manager who provides hands-on oversight, personalized training, ongoing support, and quality assurance. All visits are monitored remotely via GPS, and we conduct random in-person quality checks to ensure every walk meets our high standards of care and professionalism.

After each walk, you’ll receive a personalized report with visit notes and photos—so you know exactly how your pet’s visit went and how your pup did. It’s our way of keeping you connected, even when you’re away. Our employees are held to a higher standard of accountability and consistency, ensuring your pets receive dependable, top-quality care every time.

✅ Transparency.
✅ Accountability.
✅ Real-time reassurance for busy pet parents.


🔄 6. We Always Have a Backup Plan

Life happens — people get sick, have emergencies, or take well-earned days off. But your dog’s walk is never missed. With a built-in system of backup walkers, we make sure someone your pup knows is always available.

📅 We also offer easy, flexible scheduling to match your routine.


🐕‍🦺 7. Local, Reliable, and Loved by the Community

We’ve been serving families across Severn, Severna Park, Annapolis, and the surrounding areas for years — and many of our clients have been with us from the start.

“We’ve been using Tails on Trails for about 6 years and they have been wonderful. Our dog waits by the door every day and enjoys his time outside… highly recommend.”

Tails on Trails is proud to be a part of the Anne Arundel County pet-loving community — and we treat every dog like our own.
