Meet The Team
Myckie Colet
Founder & CEO
Hi, I’m Myckie — proud mom, lifelong animal lover, and founder of Trail Side Tails. What began as helping neighbors with their pets has grown into a premium local service dedicated to keeping tails wagging and homes stress-free.
I believe pets thrive on familiarity, so we focus on care in the comfort of their own home. From daily walks and drop-ins to long-term sitting, weekly poop removal, and concierge add-ons, we bring professionalism, reliability, and a neighborly touch to every visit.
Our growing team shares the same passion: treating every pet like family and every home with respect. Whether we’re hiking the foothills, playing in the yard, or leaving a handwritten note at the end of the day, our mission is simple — peace of mind for you, joy and comfort for your pets.

Julia Paullin
Professional Pet Care Specialist
Hi, I’m Julia! I’m a mom of two teenage boys and a lifelong dog lover with three pups of my own. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for them when you’re away. I treat every dog like part of my own family — making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well taken care of right at home.
Angelina Marie Mersola
Professional Pet Care Specialist
I’m Angelina, but friends (and pups!) call me Angie. I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and grew up surrounded by all kinds of furry friends. I currently share my home with my own dog and cat, and nothing makes me happier than caring for your pets like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s walks, visits, or cozy time together, I’m dedicated to giving every animal the attention, love, and comfort they deserve right in their own home.
Chelsea O.
Professional Pet Care Specialist
I have a deep-rooted passion for caring for dogs of all temperaments and personalities. Having spent years working with a wide variety of breeds, I’ve developed a natural intuition for the unique needs each pup brings to the trail and the home. My background in canine behavior allows me to provide a calm, steady presence whether we are out exploring or relaxing at your place.
I especially love creating a patient, nurturing environment for more submissive or shy dogs, helping them feel safe, encouraged, and completely at ease while you’re away. Whether it’s an energetic trek through nature or a cozy night of housesitting, I prioritize the happiness and well-being of your furry family member, treating every day like a new adventure filled with compassion and care.

Ciara DeSpain
Dedicated Dog Walker
Hi! I’m Ciara. I grew up in northern Arizona and have a love for being outside, photography, thrifting and of course dogs! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pup’s personality, whether they’re adventurous trail-walkers or slow-and-sniff explorers. I believe great care is about creating a positive, stress-free experience for your dog, so each visit becomes something they genuinely look forward to.

Michael Shemwell
Profesional Pet Care Specialist
Hi I’m Michael — a dog walker who believes a good walk is about more than just exercise. I’m thoughtful, patient, and naturally attentive, which makes me especially good with dogs who need a little extra reassurance. I have two small dogs who are my heart and soul, and they’ve taught me how much love, structure, and understanding really matter. While my puppies have the biggest chunk of my heart, the universe blessed me with a huge heart with enough space to share with all of your beloved furry family members too.
