When choosing a dog walker or pet sitter one thing often over looked is the vehicle they have chosen to use. As the pet industry grows, awareness of the disadvantages in terms of safty and pet welfare that vans cause has become a business desision dog walkers and pet sitters must weigh-up. Unfortunatly, some are still failing to put customers safety above advertising their business and animal welfare above money.

Leading members of the pet service industry are helping to educate service providers and customers to this by the ‘Say No To Vans’ campaign.

Concerns from a Dog Walking Point of View
Your dog is probably not use to travelling in a cage in the back of a Van. Most dog walkers use vans to transport dogs to local parks, this is done to maximise the number of dogs taken on a walk with little regard to the stress being caged in a van can cause to your pet. We have never and will never use caged vans to transport our clients' beloved pets. Unlike police dogs, your dog will probably not have had training from a young age to cope with the experience of being caged in the back of a moving vehicle and as a result of this we could never think of using a van.

Vans have little to no windows, they are noisy, could mean your dog will spend more time in the back of a van than walking due to dropping off other clients, and are only a benefit to the walker and add nothing to the dogs experience or walk. Put simply they can cause stress and anxiety unnecessarily. You may notice that even dog walkers with vans stress that they will aim to have your dog home as quickly as possible. Some will even acknowledge that your dog will probably be in the van, caged in a crate for an extended amount of time because there are other dogs to drop off first. Often, due to the design of dog walking vans, it is hard for the driver to see the dogs onboard, resulting in periods of time when dogs are unsupervised. Its just one more advoidable problem that pet service providers could solve by not using vans.

We believe there is no reason why your dog should be expected to be stuck in a van just because it is more cost effective to collect and walk all dogs at the same time.

A "trusted house sitter"
​Here's a breakdown of what they typically do:
​Primary Responsibilities
​Pet Care: This is usually the main focus. Responsibilities include:
​Feeding, watering, and providing treats.
​Walking and exercising dogs or providing appropriate play for other pets.
​Cleaning litter boxes, cages, or other animal living areas.
​Administering medication, if needed.
​Providing companionship and cuddles to ensure the pets stay happy and comfortable in their own environment.
​Home Security and Maintenance: They act as a physical presence to deter theft and meet insurance requirements (as some policies require a home not to be vacant for extended periods). This involves:
​Keeping the house secure (locking doors/windows).
​Maintaining the appearance of occupancy (turning lights on/off).
​Collecting mail and packages.
​General Tasks
​Tidiness: Maintaining general cleanliness, sometimes including basic housecleaning (like vacuuming or tidying up common areas).
​Garden/Plant Care: Watering indoor or outdoor plants, or sometimes light yard work like mowing, if agreed upon.
​Emergency Contact: Being available to handle minor issues or emergencies, contacting the homeowner, or appropriate services (like a plumber or vet) if a problem arises.
​Communication: Providing the homeowner with regular updates and photos of their pets.
