Pawfect Steps Dog Walking
We are a very friendly, family run business that covers all of Dereham and the surrounding villages for dog walking and the other pet services we provide.
We have many years of experience of both walking and looking after dogs and cats, and everything we do is fully insured. Our dog walking van is fitted with DEFRA Approved high quality custom dog cages, designed for the safety and the comfort of all the dogs who travel with us. We use the award winning range of ‘Guardsman’ Dog Guards in all our other vehicles.
For our customers’ added peace of mind, all of our employees are Canine First Aid trained and are ‘DBS Checked’, as we hold keys for our customers properties which we enter, often when they are not at home. We have also completed training on greater awareness and understanding of Canine Body Language, which allows us to be more responsive to our dogs we walk.
In addition to the dog walking, dog sitting, puppy visits and holiday cat pop-in services we provide, we also donate some of our time and get involved in charity work in relation to dogs and we help out several small dog rescue groups by carrying out their ‘Home Checks’ for them.
The Home Checks are part of the processes when someone wants to rescue a dog. When requested by the a rescue group, one of us will visit the person or family who are looking to rescue a dog, at their home and carry out some checks with them, such as ensuring both they and their property are suitable for the rescue dog.
This does involve some paperwork with the charities, but we don’t mind the extra work, as it’s such a lovely feeling being able to help rescue dogs find their new loving ‘forever’ home’s.
Dog Walking
Our dog walkers are confident and experienced in exercising dogs in a safe way. With varied destinations in the local area, your dog will be stimulated and socialized whist they are out with us.
We have different dog walking times available Mon-Fri. Dogs will normally be walked in a small group with other well socialized dogs. This enables your dog to interact with others giving them a varied and interesting walk. Dog socialization is very important and helps us leave your dog fully content post walk.
Matching walking companions helps our dogs get the best out of each walk. Dogs are offered water before getting back into our vehicles. Once home, we will make sure your dog has a full bowl of fresh water before leaving them.
We can also feed your dog if requested before we leave them. Dogs will be toweled down or hosed down if requested if they are dirty after a walk and we’ve been on many a dirty walk with the dogs.
Poop bags and treats are all supplied by us. See below for our full price details.
