Easy and secure online payment

We look after your money while the Tailster carer looks after your pet.

For peace of mind, we only release these funds once you return from your holiday on your approval.

For walking and recurring bookings, leave behind the hassle of calculating cash payments. We'll handle it all for you with one weekly payment through Tailster - simple and flexible plans to give you more time to spend with your pet, not the ATM.

Looking for a cat sitter or small animal care? We can help, too. Tailster has helped pet owners find pet care across the UK.

We’ve helped over 200,000 pet owners with the following pet care services:

Dog boarding

Tailster has over 20,000 local, assessed dog boarders across the UK to give your dog a home-from-home while you’re away. Receive photo updates straight to your phone so you can relax knowing your dog is enjoying their holiday as much as you are.

Dog sitting

If your dog prefers the comfort of home, one of our 20,000+ local, assessed carers can come to your house to take care of them, whether it’s for the day or a week. With photo updates, you’ll be able to see what your pet has been up to while you’re at work or enjoying some time out.

Dog walking

Tailster is the no.1 dog walking provider in the UK. We’ll help you find the perfect dog walker from our network of local, assessed carers. Rest assured your dog is getting the exercise they need when you can’t be there, with regular updates from their carer.

Doggy daycare

If dog walking isn’t enough, doggy daycare could be the perfect option. One of our local, assessed Tailster pet carers will give your dog the extra attention and walks they need while you’re at work, keeping them happy, active, and cared for.

Cat sitting

Whether you have a house cat that loves to sit on your lap for hours at a time or an independent cat that only pops in for food, one of our 20,000 pet carers will be able to fill in for you whilst you’re away. Whether your cat wants it’s tummy tickled or just their bowl filled, we have you covered. Receive photo updates to ensure your cat is getting the attention they like (or not!).

Small animal care

We haven’t forgotten about the little furries! Hamsters, rabbits, parrots, and guinea pigs — we’ve got you covered. With over 20,000 local, assessed Tailster pet carers, we’ll have someone there to feed, cuddle, and care for your small animals when you can’t.

Customer Testimonials

“ Holly was fantastic. We went to see her before we left Shankly and she was really friendly and seemed to know dogs very well. Once we got back they seemed to have bonded and Shankly wasn't too bothered to see us! I will certainly be using her and Tailster's services again. ”

Bhavini - dog owner

“ Muddypaws was a better experience than I could have imagined! Wonderful people who offer excellent service and care. I believe my two dogs were saddened to have to go home with me after staying with Muddypaws and enjoying the long romps in the park and personal attention. Thank you Sarah, Ahmed and James and of course Tailster, fantastic job! ”

Chris - dog owner

“ Very pleased with the care my Loki received, many thanks Rossana I will definitely contact you for future booking through Tailster. ”

Claudia - dog owner

“ Tailster has brought me lots of new business and the chance to look after more pets than before. Their site is easy to use but if I ever need any help they are always at the end of the phone. I know I don't need to worry when looking after any pets as i'm insured through Tailster. ”
