DOG WALKING SERVICE

 
Q. HOW DOES THIS WORK ?

We are very proud of our dog walking service.  We treat all our four legged friends as if they were our own. We don't walk more than 3 dogs per adult.  We dont penalise you or make a fuss when your pet is in season, our services are about adaptability!

We like to keep our prices low and affordable, we achieve this by buddying up the dogs which is great for socialising them too, but you can also have a one-to-one service, (which is charged at a higher rate) if you prefer, the choice is yours!

Proof of full vaccination is required. Kennel cough vaccine is not compulsory but we do prefer your dog to have this vaccine and the annual booster. To not have this and other vaccines jeopardizes the service.

For Safety and Insurance purposes all dogs are walked on their lead, however we can let dogs run off their lead in a secure area with the owners permission and when we are bonded and confident with your pets recall. 

 When you book this service we will come to your home for a free consultation and go through everything with you and meet your pet.

You can give us a house key which is kept secure and coded, so only we know who it belongs to, or leave it with a Neighbour, the choice is yours!.

We are a reliable service and walk your dog                                                                         Whatever the weather!
