The Basics
We offer flexible dog walking and home visits built around your pet’s routine, personality and wellbeing:
We provide walks and home visits across the local area, including Longbridge, Rubery, Northfield, Hagley and Romsley. If you’re not sure whether we reach you, just ask — we’ll happily confirm.
As often as you like. We operate 7 days a week, so you can arrange one-off visits, regular weekly walks, or ongoing daily care to suit your routine.
Everyone from busy owners to nervous, reactive, senior or training-focused dogs. Solo walks are ideal where a dog needs individual attention or a calmer pace, group walks suit sociable dogs, and home visits are perfect for puppies, senior dogs, cats and small animals who prefer their own familiar surroundings.
Solo & Group Walks
A solo walk is true one-to-one care, with the route and pace matched entirely to your dog — great for dogs that are nervous, reactive, senior or working on training. A group walk is a sociable outing with a small, carefully matched group, giving your dog company and stimulation in a safe, supervised setting.
A strict maximum of three dogs per walk, and groups are carefully matched. This keeps walks calmer, safer and far more supervised than large pack walking.
Yes — walks always go ahead, with routes and durations adapted to keep dogs safe and comfortable. In very hot or severe conditions we’ll adjust the walk accordingly and may switch to a home visit, always putting your dog’s welfare first.
We aim for consistency wherever possible, as familiar faces help pets feel settled and secure. If your usual walker is ever unavailable, your pet will always be cared for by another trained, DBS-checked member of our team who knows their needs.
Absolutely. Solo one-to-one walks are designed exactly for this. We’ll match the route and pace to your dog and learn their triggers and needs at the meet & greet, so every walk is calm, safe and tailored to them.
Home Visits
Home visits give your pet care and companionship in their own familiar environment. A visit can include:
Yes — we offer home visits for all kinds of pets, including cats, puppies, senior dogs and small animals. Many pets are happiest staying in their own home, and home visits keep their routine and surroundings reassuringly familiar.
Yes, we can administer medication during a home visit if required. We’ll go through exactly what’s needed at the meet & greet so we’re confident in your pet’s routine before we start.
Access details and instructions are stored securely through our online booking system. We’ll agree the safest arrangement with you in advance — your security and your pet’s safety always come first.
