Oliver Jeeves

Odin's Owner

Walter's Walks helped my rescue dog build confidence and social skills. They're patient, understanding, and truly care about each dog's individual needs. Outstanding service from start to finish.

D

David Williams

Charlie's Owner

Sofia has helped dog sit for me many times over the last 5 years and I know my dog's will always have the best possible care provided and probably better than me. When I've returned my dogs are relaxed and not stressed that they have been left, and know they have been walked and fed correctly.

R

Phil Evans

Hugo, Spike, and Nancy's Owner

First aid trained and fully insured - that's what initially drew me to Walter's Walks. But it's their genuine love for dogs that keeps me as a customer. Highly professional service!

How much do your services cost?

Our pricing starts from £20 and varies depending on the length of walk, frequency of service, and specific requirements. We offer competitive rates with discounts for regular customers. Please contact us for a personalized quote based on your dog's needs.

Do you offer group walks or individual walks?

We can walk multiple dogs from one household, but do not do group social walks. We can discuss your dog's personality and preferences to determine the best approach for them.

What's included in your service?

Our service includes exercise tailored to your dog's needs, fresh water if needed, basic cleanup, secure collection and return, regular updates with photos, and peace of mind with our fully insured and first-aid trained service.

Safety & Care

Are you insured and qualified?

Yes! We are fully insured, criminal record checked, and canine first aid qualified. We're also registered members of NarpsUK (National Association of Pet Sitters & Dog Walkers), ensuring professional standards.

What happens if my dog gets injured during a walk?

Our team is canine first aid trained and will respond immediately to any emergency. We'll contact you and your vet straight away. Our comprehensive insurance covers any incidents, giving you complete peace of mind.

Do you walk dogs in all weather?

We walk in most weather conditions! Dogs need exercise rain or shine. However, we won't walk in dangerous conditions like severe storms or extreme heat. We'll always prioritize your dog's safety and comfort.

Can you handle large or difficult dogs?

Absolutely! We have experience with all breeds and sizes, from tiny terriers to gentle giants. We're confident handling large breeds and can work with dogs that have behavioral challenges. Every dog deserves proper care and exercise.

Booking & Scheduling

How far in advance do I need to book?

For regular weekly services, we prefer at least a week's notice. For holiday care or one-off walks, the more notice the better! However, we'll always try to accommodate last-minute requests where possible.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

We understand that plans change! We ask for as much notice as possible for cancellations or rescheduling. Our flexible approach means we'll work with you to find suitable alternatives but we do charge half the agreed fee on cancellations giving less than 24 hours notice.

Do you provide holiday and weekend services?

Yes! We understand that dogs need care seven days a week. We offer weekend walks and holiday pet sitting services. Holiday bookings should be made well in advance due to high demand.

How long are the walks?

Walk duration depends on your dog's needs, age, and energy level. We typically recommend a 1-hour walk but also offer 30-minute and 45-minute walks if the booking timetable allows. We'll discuss the best option for your dog during our initial consultation.

Getting Started

What information do you need about my dog?

We'll need basic information like your dog's name, breed, age, temperament, any medical conditions, behavioral quirks, and emergency contact details. This helps us provide the best possible care for your pet.

Do you meet the dog before starting service?

Yes! We always arrange a meet-and-greet session before starting regular walks. This allows us to get to know your dog, understand their needs, and ensure they're comfortable with us. It also gives you chance to ask any questions.

Will you provide updates during walks?

Absolutely! We love sharing photos and updates of your dog having fun on their walks. You'll receive regular messages showing how much your furry friend is enjoying their exercise and outdoor time.

How do I get started?

Getting started is easy! Simply give us a call on 07908575098 or send us a message through our contact form. We'll arrange a free consultation to discuss your dog's needs and set up a meet-and-greet session.
