WHY GYPSEA TAILS IS DIFFERENT:
MENTAL HEALTH FIRST
We don't just exercise Dogs—we support their emotional wellbeing through behavioural science & nervous system regulation. Every adventure is designed to build confidence & reduce anxiety.
NATURE-BASED APPROACH
Your Dog explores Margaret River's stunning Dog beaches, private access to private properties, forests, and trails—not concrete yards or indoor facilities. Natural environments provide the enrichment Dogs truly need.
SMALL GROUPS ONLY
Maximum 6 Dogs per tribe, sometimes our tribes are as small as 2 or 3. Groups are carefully matched by temperament, size, & play style. We prioritise quality connections over quantity, ensuring each Dog thrives in their pack.
TRUSTED BY MARGARET RIVER DOG PARENTS

“Gypsea Tails has been an absolute godsend! Most of the week we work and struggle to fit in enough meaningful walks and stimulation for our boy. After his adventures he comes home tired and happy after his off-lead time with other Dogs. We get videos and photos often that show exactly how much fun he is having. As a vet nurse I really appreciate the connection and compassion Taz shows the Dogs. I implicitly trust her with my precious boy.”
— Deidre, Margaret River“If there was a button for more than 5 stars, I would do it! An amazing service done by Taz in Margaret River! She helped us bring our Dog for our elopement and was very attentive and helpful with whatever questions we had. Our Dog Dante had the best time with Taz and cried on the way back because he didn't want to leave! Best Dog sitting service in Perth/Margaret River!
We can't wait to bring him again!"
— Raj, Perth“I could not recommend Taz at Gypsea Tails more highly. She looked after our Dog Bella like she was her own. We were sent photos and videos throughout the day which was wonderful to see the fun adventurous day she was having and gave us peace of mind. She stayed overnight and Bella was even allowed to sleep under the covers on her bed which is her favorite spot. Thank you so much for looking after our baby so well."
— Jess and Erwin, DunsboroughMEET TAZ, YOUR DOG'S NEW BEST FRIEND
Hi, I'm Taz - founder of Gypsea Tails and your dog's biggest advocate.
After 12+ years working with hundreds of Dogs in Margaret River, I've learned that the best care goes beyond walks & treats. It's about understanding each Dog's unique personality, nervous system, & emotional needs.
MY PHILOSOPHY:
Every Dog deserves to feel safe, understood, & supported. I blend behavioural science with compassionate care to help Dogs build confidence, reduce anxiety, & thrive in their world. Whether your Dog joins us for a day adventure or needs specialised support, they'll receive gentle, thoughtful, Dog-led care that honours who they are.
