My name is Gemma, and together with my trusty business partner Bovdog we are North East Tail Trails!
We have been best friends for 13 years, and business partners for the past 4!
I have always wanted to work with dogs, dipping in and out of it over the years helping out with friends businesses I finally made the leap in 2019 and started North East Tail Trails.

I cannot recommend Gemma highly enough!!! From the moment I first met up with her and beautiful choccie lab Bov, I knew Luna was in safe hands. Gemma is 100% committed to the dogs in her care and ensures they have an adventure wherever they may go!!! Luna has come along leaps and bounds since going to her Auntie Gem's and she gets so excited when it's time for her adventure day!! More...

What do you love most about your job?
The dogs, and the outdoors! Dogs are the ultimate soul searchers, their lives revolve around the happiness of their humans - to be able to spend my days giving some happiness back to them and provide them with the amazing adventures, love and care that they need is a dream come true.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always wanted to work with animals, dogs have been such a huge part of my life that when I had the opportunity to start my own business it was a no brainer!
Why should our clients choose you?
Professional, friendly and completely committed to the happiness and well being of your dogs!
Pack Walks
Pack Walks are a fantastic way for your dogs to get out and about for a run around, getting to experience new and exciting places and meeting new friends! These sessions will last around an hour (from when we arrive at the destination), there will be no more than 4 dogs in each pack and no reactive dogs will be walked within the packs. There is a pick up and drop off service, all dogs will have their paws wiped, be given a rub down if wet and water can be topped up at home if needs be. Sessions are £10 and must be booked in advance. If there is more than one dog in the household discounts will be applied.
One 2 One Adventures
If your dog is not best suited to the pack walks, whether they are elderly and cannot keep up, nervous among other dogs, or just super special and need that extra attention, then a one 2 one adventure will ensure they get to enjoy new places and stretch their legs without the crowds. These sessions will last either 30 or 60 minutes (from when we arrive at the destination), There is a pick up and drop off service, all dogs will have their paws wiped, be given a rub down if wet and water can be topped up at home if needs be. Sessions are £12 (per 30 minutes) and must be booked in advance.
Home Visits
If your dog is elderly, or unwell and cannot go far enough to join in on a pack walk or one 2 one adventure, it doesn't mean they have to miss out on some attention and tic! These sessions will last either 30 or 60 minutes and can be tailored to each individual dog, whether its a little playtime, some fun mind stimulation or just some good old fashioned sofa snuggles. Food, water and medication can be topped up or given if required. Sessions are £12 (per 30 minutes) and must be booked in advance.For more than one dog in the same house discounts will be applied.
Puppy Playtime
If you have recently added to the family and need some extra hands on deck to keep the puppies fed, watered, entertained and kept in a good routine, or maybe you're working hours are just that little bit too long for the little one(s) to be left alone. These sessions will last either 30 or 60 minutes and can be tailored to each individual pup, whether its a little playtime, some help keeping things clean, food and water top ups, or just a little company. Sessions are £12 (per 30 minutes) and must be booked in advance. For more than one dog in the same house discounts will be applied.
Service Consultation
A free consultation will be organised before a new dog joins the Tail Trails Pack, this is to ensure that you and your dog(s) are 100% comfortable and happy, and any additional or particular requirements can be discussed.
Pet Photography
Our photoshoots are carefully planned to create a relaxing and stress free process for you and your dog(s) as well as a fun experience to enjoy with artwork which captures your dog's unique personality that you can cherish or give as a precious and meaningful gift.
Whether you choose a peaceful photo shoot in our garden studio, or an energetic shoot on our location walk, we will make your dog(s) the star of the show and create prints which celebrate their individual personality and breed.
