From the pack

  • I was nervous leaving my puppy overnight, but Happy Tails made it so easy. She came back happy, tired, and well cared for. Highly recommended!
  • Our senior dog has mobility issues and medication needs. The care and attention to detail I receive from Happy Tails is outstanding.
  • Woof! (That's from our pup.) She's energetic and keeps our crazy dog happy and exercised on days we can't. Best investment ever.

Questions, answered

  • What areas do you serve?
    We proudly serve Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, and Ballard in Seattle. We offer both in-home visits and neighborhood walks within these areas.
  • Do you handle dogs with behavioral issues?
    Yes. With my training background, I work with dogs of all temperaments. For complex behavioral issues, I recommend consulting with a certified animal behaviorist first.
  • Can you administer medication?
    Absolutely. As a registered veterinary technician, I’m trained and experienced in safely administering medications, injections, and managing dogs with health conditions.
  • How do I book a first visit?
    Contact us through our website or phone to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. This helps me understand your dog’s needs and confirm we’re a good fit.
  • What if my dog doesn't warm up to you?
    No pressure. Not every pairing works, and that’s okay. I always prioritize your dog’s comfort and happiness. We can discuss alternatives or try a gradual introduction.
  • Are you insured?
    Yes, I’m fully bonded and insured, covering liability and your peace of mind. Your dog’s safety and your protection are my priority.
  • Do you offer group walks?
    Yes, I offer small group walks (usually 2–3 dogs) for dogs who enjoy socialization. Solo walks are also available for dogs who prefer one-on-one attention.
  • How much notice do you need for bookings?
    For regular recurring services, we schedule weekly or monthly. For one-time bookings, I typically need at least 48 hours’ notice when possible.
