I don’t think owners realise your dog is “our” dog. I love your dogs sooo much, when we see them day in, day out they become part of our family ❤️

What people dont tell you when you become a dog walker.
You'll fall in love too many times
You'll see a different side to dogs than their owners
You'll pick up so much poo and observe each pile to makesure each dog is 'normal'
You'll have a panic because they run and they might not stop
You'll panic because they arent running as much
You will talk to each dog like they understand and I think they do
You will deal with disagreements between new and old friends and be cautious of this for quite awhile after,
You'll realise who wants to share, who wont share and who isn't allowed to be around toys aka the destroyer
You will have to have the awkward conversation with owners that their dog doesn't really want to be social even though they think their dog really does.
You'll forget to bring treats even though the dog knows they get them every time you leave.
You'll cry when they leave us.
You'll cry when they get ill

Dog walking is not just a job. We bring in a family member everytime we introduce a new dog, we know who will and who wont be happy in each setting. We spend all our days trying to make your family member become our family member.

As a dog walker I may adapt and change each walk your dog goes on. This is only.for your dogs benefit. We try and make their time with us as special as possible.

Please when choosing your dog walker take the time to choose a walker your dog will want to be with and the type of walk your dog requires.

And remember your baby is our baby. 🐕

💸 Ever Wondered What You’re REALLY Paying Your Dog Walker For?
(Spoiler alert: it’s not just the walkies 🐾)

So, you hand over your hard-earned cash, your beloved fur-rocket bolts off with someone who looks like they own more dog hair than furniture, and you think, “Huh. Easy money.”

But WAIT. Let’s break it down!

🐕 Dog Walking Insurance
Yes, that’s a thing. Because apparently “I was dragged face-first through a hedge while holding a poodle” doesn’t count as a personal life choice without documentation.

🎓 Qualifications
Surprise! We’re not just “people who like dogs.”
Most pro walkers are canine first-aid trained, certified in dog behaviour and handling, and know what to do if your pup eats a sock or tries to fight a squirrel named Dave.
We know dog body language better than we know our own family.

🚗 Vehicle Maintenance, Tax & Insurance
We drive your dogs around like a canine UberXL. Except with less tipping and more muddy paw prints mysteriously on the ceiling. That van didn’t just appear out of the woods like a magical Scooby-Doo bus.

🧼 Endless Washing & Cleaning
Oh, the laundry. Towels, blankets, uniforms, dog coats… all soaked in mud, slobber, pond water, and mysterious substances we stopped questioning months ago.
And the van? Let’s just say it’s a biohazard with windows.

🦮 Equipment (Leads, Collars, Harnesses)
Leads snap. Collars break. Harnesses get chewed mid-walk because apparently that stick looked at them funny. Replacing gear is a full-time hobby.

🎾 Toys & Games
That tennis ball didn’t survive 0.6 seconds. Tug ropes? Obliterated. Enrichment toys? Just… gone. Your dog had fun though!

🌳 Secure Field Hire
A place where dogs can run free, chase each other, and express their inner lunatic safely. Also known as: “The £10-an-hour chaos arena.”

🍖 Treats
High value, grain-free, unicorn-dust-sprinkled treats to please even the pickiest pupper. No, your lab won’t settle for a dry biscuit. He wants venison cubes flown in from a Himalayan monastery.

💩 Poo Bags
Industrial quantities. Black gold. We go through more bags than a Saturday night shift at Tesco. And the scented ones? A luxury sacrifice to your dog’s digestive schedule.

🧠 Admin (aka The Silent Struggle)
Texts. Invoices. Bookings. Cancellations. Updates. Schedules. Vet info. Birthday cards for dogs. Social media posts featuring your dog’s bum mid-zoomie. All while being barked at.

So next time you see your dog walker, give them a smile. Maybe even a biscuit.
Because behind every happy pup is a person who’s too hot, too cold, muddy, tired, insured up to the eyeballs and made up of 98% dog treat dust.

Big welcome to newbie Millie, it was her first day today and she was a superstar! And as always we have the best team in the whole world to make her feel super welcome and part of the team!
Ps Franks found that ball and he was only allowed to carry it! Was far too hot today for ball games 🧡
