Grassendale is one of South Liverpool's best-kept secrets — an elegant riverside enclave of Victorian 'park' villas where the Mersey is quite literally at the end of the road. It's a lovely place to own a dog, and Tail Trek Adventures are the local, insured duo to keep yours happy. We're Heather and Jake.
We keep it small and personal — the same trusted walker, well-matched groups, and a photo and update after every walk. Local people who genuinely love the job.
The riverside is the jewel here. Cressington Promenade, with its beautifully restored Victorian gates, gives a genteel Mersey-side walk with wide water views — flat, easy and perfect for any age of dog. The quiet, tree-lined roads of Grassendale Park lead down to the shore, and Otterspool Promenade stretches away towards the city for a longer outing.
We time riverside walks around the breeze and the tide line, and always plan the route to suit your dog — a proper stretch of the legs for the energetic, a calm amble for the seniors.
Whether you're commuting from Cressington station or working from one of the grand old villas, we keep your dog exercised and content in between. Group and solo walks, puppy visits, drop-ins all flex around your routine, with collection and drop-off from your door.
The riverside is beautiful but exposed, so we keep an eye on the wind and the tide along the promenade, and always carry fresh water and a towel. In summer the early river walks are glorious before the heat; in winter we wrap up and keep moving. For nervous dogs, the quiet park roads are ideal for building confidence.
Everything your dog needs, right here in Grassendale.
A few words from the Liverpool families who trust us with their dogs.
“Heather and Jake are absolute gems. Our collie comes back from his adventure walks completely worn out and happy, and the photo updates make my day. Wouldn't trust anyone else with him.”
“The regular group walks have been brilliant for our two. Photo updates every time, clearly having a ball, and they come home happy and worn out. Reliable, lovely people — wouldn't use anyone else.”
“Our rescue can be nervous with other dogs, so the solo walks have been perfect. You can tell they genuinely get her. Her confidence has come on so much.”
