Services
Group Dog Walking
Our group walks provide socialisation opportunities for dogs in safe woodland and countryside locations across Bristol. With a maximum of six dogs per group, we ensure appropriate temperament matching and include towel-drying before returning pets home. Each one-hour session includes collection and return using our specially adapted vehicles with individual dog pods.
Solo Dog Walking
Tailored 45-minute walks designed for dogs requiring individual attention or with specific needs. Available before 9:30am or after 2:30pm, these walks include basic obedience training and can accommodate special requirements like restricted movement or off-lead time in safe environments, with secure key holding arrangements available.
Fuss and Feed Visits
Daily home visits for cats and small pets, including feeding, litter tray cleaning, and quality interaction time. Our trained professionals provide multiple visits daily if required, maintaining pets' routines in their familiar home environment while owners are away, with photo updates included.
Overnight Pet Sitting
Exclusive service for regular clients allowing pets to remain in their home during owner absences. Our DBS-checked team provides 24-hour care with no more than four hours' separation, including daily group walk integration and secure key management, with comprehensive insurance coverage.
Adventure Days
Extended five-hour excursions to new environments featuring varied terrain, water activities, and treat stops. Limited to six dogs per walker, these days include GPS tracking for owner transparency and guarantee tired, happy dogs through stimulating physical and sensory experiences in locations beyond regular walking areas.
