Before entering into any dog walking arrangement our experienced walker will visit you to meet you and your dog(s) and to discuss your specific requirements. Unlike some other dog walking services we do not charge for this  first meeting as we feel it is vital to find out what your dog likes to do, what he/she doesn't like to do, what he/she likes to play with and where their favourite place to walk is. We also require information on your dogs' medical history, what he/she is like with other dogs and whether you are happy for your dog to be exercised off lead. (this is only done with the prior understanding that this is done at the owners risk, although NO dog will be let off lead until our walker has assessed its ability to recall when called and also his/her ability to interact with other dogs and people). Depending on your location and duration of the walk your dog will be offered a variety of interesting walks, including 'pavement pounding' (great to keep your dog fit and their claws short and neat), woodland walks, fun on the beach and walks in doggie parks to provide supervised interaction with other dogs. We are happy to transport your dog in a crate in our fully insured vehicle to alternative walking areas if required. We do not charge for fuel for this service but travelling time to and from the walking area will be deducted from the walk time.

On your dogs return home your dog will be towel dried (if wet) and his/her feet will be wiped if necessary and your walker will ensure he/she has a treat and adequate water before leaving.

 

We aim to make your dogs walk as exciting and fun as possible and only use positive, reward based methods and encouragement during walks. Most of the treats we use are home baked by ourselves using natural, human grade ingredients (our liver treats are always a firm favourite), however please let us know if your dog suffers from any food intolerances.

 

Walking Price guide:

$15 for 30 minutes

$25 for 1 hour

Walks are aranged at times to suit you and the needs of your pet(s). Our aim is to be fully flexible and able to walk your dog as and when required. Please be aware, however, that certain times of day are more popular than others and for those wishing to enter into a more regular agreement, prior booking will be essential.
