West Derby has the best of both worlds: a historic village heart and, on its doorstep, one of the largest country parks in the city. For a dog, that's about as good as it gets — and Tail Trek Adventures are the local, insured duo to make the most of it. We're Heather and Jake.
We keep things personal and consistent — the same familiar walker, small well-matched groups, and a photo and update after every walk. Real people who love the job, not a faceless app.
Croxteth Country Park is the crown jewel — 500 acres of woodland, meadow and a walled garden around historic Croxteth Hall, with endless trails and rarely a crowd. It's a wonderful spot for a proper off-lead explore where recall allows, and big enough that there's always somewhere new to sniff. Closer in, the old village around the courthouse and church makes a pleasant gentler walk, with the leafy Sandfield Park estate nearby.
We rotate the park's trails to keep things fresh and always match the outing to your dog's fitness and confidence.
Life around the village and Almonds Green is busy, and a dog shouldn't wait all day for a walk. Our group and solo walks, puppy visits and drop-ins fit around work and family, with free collection and drop-off from your door.
Croxteth's woodland gets gloriously muddy after rain, so towels are always on board and your dog comes home clean. In summer we make the most of the shaded trails and the cooler hours, and for nervous dogs the park's quieter corners are perfect for building confidence away from the busier weekend paths.
Everything your dog needs, right here in West Derby.
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.”
