 I pick up your dog and bring the pack to the Presidio for a 45-55 minute hike. After excersising the dogs, I give them plenty of water, clean them off and then bring them back to your home. With your permission, I offer treats during the excursion.


The groups will be limited to eight dogs per walk to ensure proper attention is given to each dog.

No. I can handle the dogs on or off leash. Getting exercise is a primary goal, so I will keep them moving and help further their training while on a leash.

Tailblazers offers private walks for those that don't do well around the other dogs. My goal is to keep every dog safe while we are walking. To do so, aggressive dogs may not walk with the rest of the pack. Instead, they get their attention, love and exercise on private walks.

Older dogs and puppies over the age of 5 or 6 months are more than welcome to join our adventures. They need to have all of their shots up to date, and we will discuss their exercise needs, restrictions or health considerations prior to adding them to the pack.

The walks and dogs behaviors are tailored to fit within certain groups, so this is not likely to happen. However, if such a case should occur, I will take all the necessary steps to secure the situation.

I will immediately examine the dog and treat any minor injuries on the spot. I carry a First Aid Kit in the car at all times and realize a lot of minor scrapes/bruises happen in the every day life of being a dog. I will notify you of any injuries. As well, upon setting up an agreement together, we would have an emergency plan in place if a serious injury were to occur.

Yes, Tailblazers is licensed through the city of San Francisco and is insured through Pet Sitters International.

All walks will be conducted no matter what the weather is. I ask that you have towels out at your home so I can clean up your pooch before letting them in.

No, that is not necessary. You can either give Tailblazers a copy of your key or leave one is a safe, convenient area. Remember, Tailblazers is an insured business that you can trust and rely on.


Cash and checks are the primary methods of payment. Pay Pal is also accepted with a 4% fee.

All payments are due on the 1st of the month. Late payments will accrue a 10% late fee. Cancellation of part time walks requires a 48 hour notice and pet sitting at least one week in advance, as I can only board one dog at a time. Anything less than these requirements will result in the full fee of the service. There is also a $25 returned check fee. When terminating services, I do ask that you give a 30 day notification or a full month's fee will apply. This is done only to ensure that I can fill the vacant spot in a timely fashion.


Absolutely. You can either ask for references when we meet in person or you can even get a head start and see some of my reviews on YELP
