How much does a dog walker cost in Wrexham?

Do you board dogs?

No. We look after your dog in your own home instead, including overnight stays (£55 a night).

Do you collect and drop off?

Yes. We collect your dog, head out for their walk and drop them home tired and happy.

How do I pay?

Cash or bank transfer.

Do you walk in bad weather?

Yes. We walk in all weathers, so your dog still gets out when it rains.

How long is a solo walk?

45 minutes, with one walker giving your dog full attention.

Is a solo walk right for my dog?

Solo walks suit dogs that are reactive, nervous, elderly or still learning their manners, and dogs that need a set pace.

How long is a group walk?

1 hour, out on the trails with a few doggy friends.

How many dogs are in a group?

Up to 4 dogs, so every dog gets attention.

Can my dog join a group walk?

We meet your dog first. Group walks suit sociable dogs with reliable recall; we will suggest solo walks if that suits your dog better.

When can my puppy start walks?

Once your puppy has finished their vaccinations.
