The full 60 minute walk group walk is our most popular walk, but we also offer a 120 minute group walk for those that need that bit more. Only suitable for dogs that will walk with any other dogs. We do three time slots. This means your dog will be picked up before the time of the walk and walked within the slot, depending on the dogs walked that day. If you require a smaller slot, please see one of the other options.
Time slots to choose from:
9am - 12 Noon
11am-2pm
1pm-4pm
Many dog walkers that advertise two hours are now doing 60 minutes so they do not have to increase their prices, but we have always been the premium company and will not cut the walks short without a serious need. Many new dog walkers will promise you a set time, but as they get busier, your time will get moved, and you will end up with an anytime walk. On some quiet days, you will get the time you desire, and on busier days you may not. We will do our absolute best to get you the walk time you desire, without any extreme reason, we will turn up when we say. We use a Pet Sitter app that records the time the dogs walker collects your dog and drops them off. If your dog is out on two walks, they may be away a lot longer, do not worry, they have just been playing with a couple of groups of friends instead of one, and as they have dropped off their first friends and collected their second, they will still have had two full hour walks, but may have had a rest in the middle, so may be away from home for quite a lot longer than two hours. It may just be that the walk started near your house, and they walked a full two hours and then got back home fairly quickly after, if this is the case, they may be a way just over two hours. We cannot guarantee what walks we are doing in a day.
With so many beautiful places to go to take the dogs, we are all spoilt for choice. Most range from short riverside walks to long, relaxing, peaceful walks on the moors. Most walks are free from roads with heavy traffic and full of places to run and play.
Our service is designed for clients who are unable to take their dog out and give them what they need. We are here to take the pressure away so you're able to get on with your day knowing that your dog has been exercised, had fun, played with friends and then is left at home without the stress of being left in a kennel for the day.

How does it work?
We will arrange a complimentary visit to you at your home at a time to suit yourself (often in the early evenings). We will meet you and your dogs and get fully acquainted, answer all your questions and get the code for your key safe. Please look for a police assured quality key safe. If this is not possible, we do require a minimum of two keys per lock we will need to access, this will enable us to efficiently get from house to house, even if a dog walker has an issue, such as illness or a broken-down vehicle, our back up walker can step in seamlessly.
All of our team of dog walkers are fully insured and registered. Our insurance company is LRMS Insurance Services Limited, trading as: Pet Business Insurance. Each team member is insured to walk up to six dogs at a time (maximum) but walks generally consist of four or less unless we are having a puppy party in a carefully selected area, where dog walkers meet up to socialise the dogs and let them have fun as they like it, the more the merrier and all certificates and references can be viewed.
Most insurance companies only insure up to a maximum of six dogs at any one time so dog walkers that walk more than six dogs at a time will not be insured. However, we generally prefer to do groups of up to four dogs. We are insured for six to ensure we can cover other team members in emergencies. On the day of the walk, your dog walker will pick your dog up at the agreed slot and take them out for a fun, off lead if it is safe, group walk with other dogs. On return, they will generally leave them where they found them in your house unless told otherwise. Aquasorbed down to ensure the bulk of the dirt is off. Please have an available hose, or a suitable dog cleaner if they need extra attention, you know your dog better than anyone.
50% discount for each suitable additional dog from the same address on the same walk.
Group dog walking is amazing for young dogs and can prevent many of the reactivity that dogs get from lack of socialisation or lack of learning skills from their peers.
Please note, all dogs must be spayed or neutered by the age of 18 months, and any issues with any dog may result in them having to go on a solo walk without prior notice as we cannot risk the safety of any of our dogs or dog walkers.
By using us, you are agreeing to not using our dog walkers away from us, they will not be insured and as we employ them, their contract states that they must not walk any clients without our knowledge. You can find your contract under contract to read. When you join us and start using our Pet Sitter, you will be asked to agree to the contract. Using our services is agreeing to our contract.
We do not work Bank Holidays without prior notice from you. Please ensure you book any walks required with plenty of notice or we may not be able to accommodate. Bank Holiday walks are at double time and Christmas and New Year Day are at triple time.
