Trails & Tails Dog Walking serves dogs across Seattle’s University District, from the blocks around the UW campus and University Way out to University Village, Ravenna, and the Portage Bay waterfront. If your dog lives in the 98105 or 98115 area, we can build a walking routine that fits your neighborhood and your schedule.
The U District is one of Seattle’s busiest neighborhoods, and that is exactly why dogs here do best on a steady routine. Our walkers know the quieter side streets away from the Ave, the best stretches of the Burke-Gilman Trail, and the loops through Ravenna Park and Cowen Park where a dog can slow down and sniff. Whether you are in an apartment near campus or a house up toward Ravenna, a local walker is close by.

Built for University District Dogs and U District Life
Many of our University District clients juggle long days on campus, at UW Medical Center, or at work across the bridge, which is why reliable midday walks are our most popular booking here. A consistent break in the middle of the day keeps an apartment dog happy, tired, and out of trouble. For higher-energy dogs, our 60 and 90-minute walks make the most of the Burke-Gilman Trail and the big green spaces at Ravenna and Cowen Parks.
How It Works
1. Free meet & greet. We come to your U District home, meet your dog, and learn their routine.
2. Set your schedule. We build a recurring walk schedule that fits your week.
3. Walks with pictures and updates. Your walker sends photos and notes after every walk.
