I just wanted to say thank you so much to Ian for looking after my little George over the weekend, I don’t leave him usually because of his heart problem but you gave him his medication and looked after him in a most caring and efficient manner. I would certainly recommend you Ian as a most helpful and trustworthy person to any other dog owners who are going away and need to board their dogs with you.
He is 100% trustworthy as demonstrated by holding a key for my property, also he's great with Angus, my dog, as i see when they're together, they clearly have a great bond.
The-Dog Walker, Frequently Asked Questions
Q. If I go on holiday and leave my dogs at home with a friend or neighbor just popping in to check on them, can you walk them?,
Unfortunately not, it is a requirement for you to have in place a suitable environment for your pets to be cared for, it is against the law to simply leave your dogs at home without supervision whilst you go out of the country, why not use our Home Boarding Service?
Q. Why do you advertise 50 or 25 minute walks?
You may have some dog walkers who charge you for a whole or half hour but is your dog really out walking for that whole time?
we always give extra time for collection and drop off, so with a 50 minute walk there would be upto 10 minutes on top for this, so an hour total, or five minutes for our 25 minute slots which makes 30 minutes total.
As they are in close range of their friends we can say for sure that your dog will have that amount of time walking and not sat in the vehicle travelling, this also helps our company with controlling our diary.
Q. Will I meet my new dog walker?
Yes of course, we will always send your local dogwalker to meet yourself and your pet.
Q. Do you offer upgrades or extensions to the walk or boarding?
Of course, we are very flexible as long as you contact your local dogwalker as soon as possible.
Q. What prompted you to do dog walking and boarding?
Richie has previous experience in the kennelling industry, it was such a reality check for him, hence The-Dogwalker being created.
Q. What is your cancellation policy?
