Dog Walking Services

Only the Best for Our Best Friends

From peaceful countryside strolls, walks along the Flitch Way to fun-filled secure field adventures, every walk is designed around your dog's individual needs.

Every dog is different, which is why I offer a variety of walking options tailored to your dog's needs, personality and confidence level.

Whether your dog enjoys socialising with friends, prefers quieter walks, or loves the freedom of a secure field, I carefully match each dog to the most suitable walking environment.

 

Local Walks 

We are fortunate to have some fantastic walking routes right on our doorstep, including the beautiful Flitch Way, local parks and surrounding countryside. These walks provide plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, sniffing and social interaction while allowing dogs to explore a variety of environments.

How it Works

Well-Managed Group Walks

With over 12 years of professional dog handling experience, managing group dynamics is one of my greatest strengths. Dogs are carefully matched based on personality, size, energy levels and play style to ensure safe, enjoyable and enriching walks.

Secure Field Walks

For dogs that enjoy extra freedom, we also have access to secure fields right on our doorstep. These walks provide a safe and secure environment for dogs to run, play, explore and burn off energy away from distractions and hazards.

Secure field walks are ideal for dogs working on recall, nervous dogs, high-energy breeds or owners who simply want the reassurance of a fully enclosed space.

Senior Dog Care

As the proud owner of a wonderful senior dog myself, I understand just how important it is to find someone who appreciates that older dogs often need a little extra time, patience and care. That's exactly what this service is designed to provide.

Supporting older dogs with compassionate, personalised care.

Our Senior Dog Care service is ideal for dogs who would benefit from shorter, gentler walks, home comfort visits, medication administration, toilet breaks and calm enrichment. Every visit is tailored to your dog's individual needs, helping them stay comfortable, active and content in their golden years.
