Your pet’s safety is our number one priority. We’re fully insured, DBS-checked, and trained in canine first aid — so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in the safest possible hands, every single walk.
Reliable & Local
We’re proudly based in Lancashire and take pride in knowing the local towns, trails, and countryside inside out. That means reliable scheduling, familiar routes, and someone who knows the safest and happiest places for your dog to explore and enjoy.
Updates You’ll Love
After every visit, we send friendly updates with photos, times, and little notes about your dog’s day — whether they made a new friend, found a muddy puddle, or just enjoyed a calm countryside stroll.
Adventure, Not Just Exercise
Our walks aren’t about distance alone. They’re about stimulation, sniffing, play and joy. We create experiences that keep dogs mentally enriched as well as physically fit.

Get in touchFrequently Asked Questions
Are you insured and DBS-checked?
Yes. We carry full public liability insurance for dog walking & pet care and hold an up-to-date DBS check and Pet First Aid training.
Do you do solo walks for reactive or nervous dogs?
Absolutely. Solo walks are available (£18/hour). We’ll agree safe routes and equipment during the free meet & greet.
Which areas do you cover?
Blackburn and surrounding areas (Darwen, Accrington, Rishton, Wilpshire, Mellor, Langho, etc.).
How do payments work?
Bank transfer or cash on the day. Regular clients can be invoiced weekly or monthly.
What’s your cancellation policy?
We ask for 24 hours’ notice to avoid being charged. Bad weather never stops us unless it’s unsafe.
Can I meet you before booking?
Of course! We offer free meet & greets so you and your dog can get to know us first. It’s a relaxed chat where we go over routines, personality, and any special needs before the first walk.
Do you walk dogs off the lead?
Only if we have your written permission and your dog’s recall is strong. Safety always comes first — we make sure it’s the right environment before any off-lead adventure.
How many dogs do you walk at once?
We keep groups small — usually 3 to 4 dogs max. This ensures each dog gets attention, stays safe, and enjoys a calm, happy walk.
