Dog Walking
Here at Welland Valley Pet Care we specialise in one-to-one walks so that we can give each dog our full attention and provide walks bespoke to their individual needs. We also offer small group walks (up to 4 dogs). We believe in maximising walking time by walking dogs directly from their door, rather than losing time travelling. However, on occasions to vary your dogs' walk, we may transport your dog to another location, with your permission.
We like to keep walks interesting for your dog, utilising parks, recreational grounds, fields & bridleways, canal towpaths, woodlands and even through town. We are also very fortunate to have access to a private field on farmland, solely for our usage. However, if your dog has a favourite walk, please let us know. Your dog will return home, happy and tired after a fun time out with us.
Our aim is to make each walk the highlight of your dogs day, giving them a chance to play, socialise, exercise and explore new sights and smells. As soon as we return back to you home, we will refresh water bowls, towel dry your dog in wet weather and give treats (if allowed) before leaving your dog to rest.
We won't let your dog off lead without your consent and only then when we feel a bond has been established between dog and walker.
Sorry but we are unable to walk aggressive or untrained dogs for safety reasons.
We walk 7 days a week, excluding bank holidays and public holidays.
Comfort Breaks
Sometimes you just need someone to pop in and check that your dog is ok, feed your pet and to let them out. This is where our comfort break service is ideal.
We will pop round to check on your dog and let them out into the garden or in the case of dogs that like to do their business out and about, take them for a short 10-minute walk.
Just let us know your pets preferred feeding times, leave out his/her food for us and we will do the rest including washing up the bowls afterwards too! We will ensure fresh water is available too.
Puppy, Adult & Senior Dog Companionship Visits
Offering an alternative to a walk, our canine care visits are also ideal for those who require special attention, such as puppies, adult dogs, elderly companions or those recovering from illness. These visits are also designed to give your dog company during the day/evenings whilst you are out, anything from 30 mins to a few hours. Let us know what you require and we will design a bespoke visit for your canine companions needs. Of course, companionship, play and cuddles come as standard!
Why not invite our carer to bring a visit full of fun too, with lots of toys and games offering mental stimulation for your dog. Our toy box is full of activity toys, snuffle mats, puzzle toys, treat balls, turn around toys, a variety of different size and shaped balls, and plush, rope and rubber dog toys to play with.
Our canine care visits are so full of fun, so much so, your dog will forget that you've gone out!
Flexi-Dog - Adhoc Dog Walking
Here at Welland Valley Pet Care we understand that not everyone needs a dog walker all of the time so we have created a new service, Flexi-Plus!
This service is ideal for those who:
-
are going out for the day.
-
have an appointment to go to.
-
are working away.
-
aren't able to rely on the availability of friends/family.
-
are attending family occassions.
-
have Zoom/Teams meetings to attend.
-
.....and many more reasons!
Whilst we cannot guarantee a time, we will always do our best to work round your needs.
Our regular clients take priority over flexi-plus bookings.
