City Pooch Walks was inspired by our beloved pet Labrador Kiera>  She fronted our dog walking business and her claim to fame was as Britain’s first Pet Taxi in the Sunday Post and Daily Record which was big news at the time!  We were and still are very proud of her and of our achievements in the dog walking industry.

Our number one priority is to provide safe, fun-filled walks.  We play enrichment games such as Sprinkles and the dogs love to “Go Find” this encourages mental stimulation and helps continue a positive bonding experience with their handler and playmates. Our woodland adventures are a great source for letting off steam, finding new scents and provides that much needed fresh air.

We like to be that little bit unique and love to celebrate, we offer bespoke summer pool parties, doggie birthday parties and leaving do’s.

We aim to build trust with you, our clients, and your dog or pets so that you will have the confidence knowing that City Pooch Walks will continue to provide services, as mentioned, in a professional and competent manner.
