About us

At Pups and Paws we know just how important your dog is to you, and they are important to us too! We provide weekday lunchtime group walking services that aim to be the highlight of your dog’s day. Every dog deserves a daily walk and the chance to play and socialise with a few furry friends. Your dog will be collected in our fully kitted out doggy car, which has plenty of light and air. Your pup will be transported to one of the many wonderful destinations that we are lucky enough to have nearby. They will be returned happy, tired, and fully content for the rest of the day. We will even make sure that we clean up any muddy paws using a lovely warm shower, before arriving back home.

Pups and Paws can also pop in to visit, let out and feed puppies who are too young to go out on walks, or older dogs who still love attention but maybe don’t have the energy for a full walk. 

Small furries deserve some love too. We can call in to your home to feed, clean out and give some attention to rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, hamsters etc to make sure they don’t miss out!

At Pups and Paws, we are:

• National Association of Registered Pet Sitters & Dog Walkers (NARPS) UK registered

• Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Business course (LANTRA) accredited

• Fully insured with Pet Business Insurance

Pups and Paws will provide a professional, caring and reliable service for you and your cherished pet. We treat each pet as an individual, and ensure that their happiness and wellbeing is at the top of our agenda.

What and How Much?

Weekday Dog Walking

Group Dog Walking – Being pack animals, dogs enjoy the social dynamics of being walked in a group, stimulating both mind and body. A daily walk promotes good digestion, helps control weight, and reduces hyperactivity and destructive behaviour. We aim to be the highlight in your dog’s day offering fun filled group walks. Once collected in our fully kitted doggy car we will transport your dog for an hour of sniffing, running and snuffling, before returning them home, tired but happy. Muddy paws and coats will be cleaned before your dog sets foot in your home. Once home we will ensure a supply of fresh water is available, and feed any meals required. We’ll email you a feedback form so that you know what your dog has been up to that day. We are happy to exercise on lead, or off lead once good recall is established. We’ll need a signed permission form for off lead exercise, just to confirm how you’d like your dog walked. We will take a maximum of four dogs on a walk together so that we can give your dog the love and attention it deserves.

Puppy / Older Dog Let Outs

This service is aimed at young puppies who are not ready for full dog walks yet, or for older dogs who still love the attention but maybe haven’t the energy for a full walk. We are available for visits, where we can feed them, clean up any messes and still make sure there is time for play. Maybe your puppy is struggling to settle in at home – we can pop in a couple of times a day to reassusure your puppy that everything is really ok!

Small Furries Too!

Small Furries – Pups and Paws offers small pet visits to feed, water and clean out, if required, any variety of small pet. If you are away for the day, overnight or for longer, we can pop in to care for your rabbit, guinea pig, hamster etc. Your pet can have a stress free time while you are away, and you will have the reassurance that someone is visiting the house and looking after your small furries.
