I used to set my alarm for 5am just so my dog Milo could have the kind of walk he really loved.
Back when I was working a 9β5 office job, that was the only way I could squeeze in a proper woodland adventure outside of Bristol before work. Like many people, my days didnβt always end neatly at 5. Evenings filled up fast, plans changed, and before I knew it, weeks would pass without Milo getting those calm, spacious walks I knew were so important for him.
When I started looking for help, I realised that most dog walkers only offered local walks, the same routes I did daily.
So I decided to create the service I wished had existed for us.
Thatβs how Doggie Hikes was bornβa way for dogs to be picked up from North Bristol during the working week and taken on real adventures in quiet woodland locations outside the city.
Every hike is designed around safety, calmness, and giving dogs the space they deserve:
βοΈ GPS trackers on every dog, with live locations shared with owners
βοΈ Canine first aid trained, with a kit carried on every walk
βοΈ Secure, individual crate transport
βοΈ Small groups onlyβnever more than four dogs at a time
If this sounds like the kind of experience youβd want for your dog, feel free to send me a message or ask any questionsβIβm always happy to chat.
