Dog sitting app questions
Is Tails a dog sitting app or a dog boarding app?
Tails supports several dog care needs. If your dog should stay in a caregiver home, start with dog boarding. If they need a sitter to stop by your home, use drop-in visits. Dog walking is available for exercise and routine breaks.
How does Tails match dog sitters?
Tails uses your dog profile, schedule, location, and care needs to help surface providers who fit. The goal is to reduce endless scrolling and make the first shortlist more relevant.
Can I use Tails for anxious, senior, or high-energy dogs?
Yes. Your dog profile can include anxiety, age, exercise needs, medication notes, leash behavior, feeding instructions, and household preferences so the match starts with the right context.
