One person, every visit.
Elle does every scoop and every walk. There is no crew, no rotation, and no one you have not met coming through your gate.

Meet Elle.
Hi, I'm Elle. I'm the one who walks your dog and scoops your yard, every visit. Tails & Trails started with a few dogs in Russell, and the yard work came after because the same people kept asking.
I'm insured, key-holder coverage included. Want to meet before you book? Text me and I'll stop by.

Why it runs this way
The two jobs go together. The person who walks your dog at noon is already at your house, already knows the gate, and already knows the dog.
Keeping it to one person is a choice. It means the route stays small enough that every visit is the same face, the same car, and the same standard. It also means the business cannot say yes to everyone, which is why the service area is three villages and not all of Ottawa. When enough people on one street outside the route ask, the route grows.
The photo text after every visit started as a habit and became the rule. You should not have to wonder whether someone showed up.
Tails is the dog. Trails is where we take them. The yard is what we leave behind, spotless.


What you can hold us to
Insured. Liability and key-holder coverage. Ask to see the certificate and it gets sent, not explained.
Local. Based in Russell Township. The route is Russell, Embrun and Morewood, and it grows one street at a time so the days stay reliable.
Proof, every visit. A photo after every scoop and every walk. Not because you asked, because that is how you know it happened.
No contract. Weekly card billing, pause or stop by text. If the service is good you will stay; a contract would only matter if it were not.
