Professional dog walking service in Guildford

Dog Walking

I come to your home to collect your dog. We go for a wonderful 60-minute walk and I drop them back home safely afterwards.

If you’d like, I can borrow a set of your keys so you don’t have to be there. This allows you to go about your day with peace of mind.

Get in touch to arrange a walk for your dog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is your pricing higher than marketplace rates?

My pricing reflects professional-grade service: comprehensive insurance coverage, DBS checks, small group sizes (max 3 dogs), and guaranteed punctuality. You’re paying for peace of mind and reliable, consistent care — not the cheapest option, but the most trustworthy.

What’s your cancellation policy?

24+ hours notice: no charge. Less than 24 hours: 50% fee. Same day cancellation: full fee. I’m flexible with genuine emergencies, and your first short-notice cancellation may be waived at my discretion.

What happens in an emergency?

I’ll contact you immediately. With your pre-authorisation, I can take your dog to your preferred vet for emergency treatment. I strongly recommend pet insurance. For uninsured dogs, I require a signed waiver pre-authorising emergency veterinary care.

Do you let dogs off-lead?

Currently, all dogs remain on-lead for safety and insurance compliance. This ensures maximum control and security for your dog.

How do I book?

Call, WhatsApp, or email me to discuss your needs. I’ll arrange an initial meet-and-greet, we’ll complete the service agreement, and schedule your first walk.

What areas do you cover?

Currently I serve clients within approximately 2 miles of Guildford High Street (walkable radius). I plan to expand coverage in the future.

Do you have availability on weekends?

Yes, subject to availability. Weekend and bank holiday bookings carry a +25% surcharge. I recommend booking weekend slots well in advance.

Can you walk my dog with others?

Yes, I walk up to 3 dogs at a time. Each household pays the standard rate (£20 for one dog, +£5 for a second dog from the same household). Dogs from different households can be walked together if compatible.

What if my dog doesn’t get along with other dogs?

No problem! I can arrange solo walks for dogs that prefer individual attention or have reactivity issues. Just let me know during the initial consultation.

Do I need to provide anything?

I carry poo bags, water, and basic supplies. You provide your dog’s lead/harness (I’ll check it’s secure), house key if I’m collecting from home, and emergency contact information. Treats are optional — let me know your preference!
