Tail Trail
Dog Daycare and Dog Walking Software

Manage your pack, attendance, and routes all in one place.

Tail Trail is built for dog daycare and dog walking businesses that need more than a booking calendar. It helps you keep track of who is coming, where each dog needs to go, and what needs to happen during the day.

  • See who's coming, with all the details that matter
  • Handle recurring bookings and last-minute changes
  • Manage pickups and dropoffs alongside the schedule
  • Effortlessly keep dog parents in the loop

Who It's For

Built for pet businesses with busy daily operations.

Tail Trail is currently focused on dog daycare and dog walking businesses, especially ones that also manage transport or provide more than one service in a day.

Mornings are a juggling act

Who's coming, who needs pickup, which van goes where, and things still change after you've planned it all out.

Your schedule is all over the place

Bookings in one place, attendance in another, route planning somewhere else. It works, but it's more effort than it should be.

Parent updates add up fast

Every pickup and dropoff means messages. It's not hard, but it adds up when you do it for every dog, every day.

Why Tail Trail

More than bookings, built for the work behind the booking.

Many pet software tools stop at bookings, payments, and customer records. Tail Trail is focused on what happens after the booking is made: who is coming, where they need to go, and what staff need to manage during the day.

  • Attendance that works for you Manage who's coming, set pickup and dropoff details, add notes, and handle address changes — all from the attendance view.
  • Route planning for pickups and dropoffs Plan routes across vans and assign stops, with transport as a first-class part of the workflow.
  • Stop-by-stop driving mode Drivers get guided through their route one stop at a time, right from their phone.
  • Message templates for parent updates Generate pickup and dropoff messages quickly so staff spend less time typing and more time with the dogs.
  • Dog profiles built for the job Breed, allergies, notes, and photos — all visible where staff actually need them during the day.
  • Multiple services in a day Run more than one service per day without juggling separate systems.
Origin

Already proven in a real daycare operation

Tail Trail started as a passion project to help a dog daycare in Amsterdam with the messy day-to-day work around attendance and route planning.

It is now a core part of how they run the business day to day, and has become an indispensable tool for them.

Over time it became clear that other dog daycares and dog walking businesses face the same problems, so the foundation is now being grown into something other businesses can use as well.
