OUR SERVICES
DOG WALKING
1 Hour small group walk
Carefully managed walks for up to four compatible dogs, thoughtfully matched by temperament, energy level, and play style. Each dog is closely monitored to ensure a calm, structured, and positive experience.

30 Minute Solo Walk
Suitable for dogs who only need a short walk to break up their day, including puppies, elderly dogs, or those recovering from surgery. Walks are suited to your dog’s individual needs and pace.
1 Hour Solo Walk
Great for active dogs needing more time outdoors.
Dogs from the same household may be walked together, provided it is safe to do so.
Suitable for reactive dogs.
PUPPY SOCIALISATION WALKS
Designed for puppies before full vaccinations, these one to one sessions give your pup safe, guided exposure to the world. Puppies are gradually introduced to towns, traffic noises, fields, livestock, shops, cafés, and other everyday sights and sounds, either safely carried in a sling or exploring on a mat helping them build confidence in a controlled way.
WEDDING DAY CHAPERONE
Let your dog be part of your special day without any added stress. A dedicated dog chaperone ensures your dog is fully cared for throughout the wedding, including feeding, walks before and after the ceremony, transport to and from the venue, and gentle support during photo opportunities. Care is focused on your dog’s comfort, wellbeing, and enjoyment, so you can relax and enjoy your day knowing they’re in safe hands, and all their needs are being met.
