Dog Walking and Pet Sitter Services in Duluth, MN


Our Services

WHAT WE OFFER


Dog walking.
  • DOG WALKING

We offer daily 30 minute to 1 hour long walks and a Vacation Deal that includes two daily walks as well as two additional drop-in visits each day you are out of town.

We use whatever leash and/or harness you provide for the walk. For two dogs, we will use a special double lead that we will provide. 

We cover the poo-bags and collapsible water bowls when necessary and owner-approved treats. While walking, we can work with your dog on any tricks or training to reinforce what you’ve already been working on at home! 

Vacation Deal visits include daily feedings, additional potty breaks, your chosen length of walks, and medication distribution as needed. We can also water plants, put out garbage/recycling, and bring in mail if asked! 

We’ll take photos during our adventures to keep you updated and can give you a detailed day-to-day report if requested!


Pet sitting.
  • DROP-IN PET SITTING VISITS

We offer daily drop-in visits for 15-30 minutes and a Vacation Deal that includes two daily visits each day you are out of town.

This is a great option for elderly dogs! We’ll stop in to quickly let them out for a potty break and some cuddles. Want us to feed them or give any medications? We can do that, too!

Also, a purrr-fect option if you would like your cat to get some attention throughout the day or if you are gone on a trip. We will fill food dishes, clean the litter box, or anything else that they might need.

Vacation Deal visits include daily feedings and medication distribution as needed. We can also water plants, put out garbage/recycling, and bring in mail if asked! 

We’ll take photos during our visits and can keep you updated as much as requested.


WHY CHOOSE US?


  • PROFESSIONAL CARE

Our business is licensed, bonded, and insured. We are Fear Free and Pet First Aid/CPR Certified and have worked in the pet service industry for over 10 years as a kennel attendant, office manager, and as a patient care coordinator.

  • PERSONALIZED CARE

All of our services are one-on-one with your pets. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to cats and dogs. We take our time thoroughly learning about each of your pets so we can cater to their individualized needs.

  • QUALIFIED CARE

We are comfortable handling multiple dog and cat breeds; specifically dogs from the Herding and Working breed groups, and are experienced working with fearful and reactive animals. Our previous job experience has trained us to properly administer medications as needed.


Tonya is a gem! It is so important to me to have someone I trust taking care of my dogs. The dogs adore her, and she is extremely conscientious. She is also very responsive to messages and flexible with scheduling. Highly recommend.

This weekend was a busy one for me & with a deployment I sometimes need last minute help. I have always been organized for future events to schedule doggie care but sometimes things slip thru the cracks. Tonya Putney with Tail Wags & Walks LLC has been my savior once again this weekend to help me out at the last minute with making sure the pups were walked & fed. If you’re in the area & need some animal check-ins or walks reach out to Tonya! She will do an initial meet & greet with you, take notes on feedings, personality/triggers for your dogs, and then when she’s with your animals you always get photos & a recap on how the visit went. Yes, I’ve always used ‘the app’ in the past since I had a few walkers I got to know & trust, but here’s a woman that I’ve known for years (one of Freya’s puppies is her adopted pup!) that started her own business.

I love that this business is run by someone who truly cares about our furry friends! I had the pleasure of working with Tonya in the past and I was extremely impressed with the dedication, professionalism, and kindness she showed to her work! I would definitely trust her with my pups, and so should you! Highly recommend.
