This is a free, no obligation meeting so that you can make sure we are the right fit for you and your pet(s). This is completed on a laptop so we do ask for internet access at this meeting.
Do you collect and drop off my dog
Yes, the cost for each walk includes pick up and drop off from your home in our safe vehicles. We will pick your dog up from your home and return them happy, relaxed and towel dried if it’s been a wet day! Our insurance covers us for holding your house key if required, which is kept safe and secure.
What do I need to provide alongside my dog during walks?
Please provide any toys your dog likes to take on walks and any of their favourite treats. All dogs must be wearing a collar with an I.D tag (this is a legal requirement). We will discuss their needs at our consultation meeting.
I would prefer my dog not to be let off the lead during walks.
That is absolutely fine, we can walk your dog on the lead only. This is covered in the consent section of the booking form we will run through with you at our consultation meeting.

We offer discounts to multi dog households across all of our walking services, and discounts on home visits if you require more than one house visit per day.
Are you insured?

How many walkers will my dog have?
Your dog will be introduced to up to 3 of our team, to ensure they know their routine should we need to cover holiday or sickness.
I would rather my pet didn’t appear on social media?
No worries at all. Each new customer completes a consent form prior to booking our services so you can let us know you don’t wish your pet to appear on social media.
How do I pay?

Super service super care efficient & effective Administration well established over 15 yearsPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I (and fur babies) are relocating to Northumberland so sadly we have to cancel what has been a fantastic service with Paws 4 Walking. We’ve been thoroughly impressed with the brilliant service, the reliability of the booking team, and Jane who consistently visited our furry monsters for 7 years. It was great getting updates and pictures of them having tummy rubs whilst we were away, making us relax on our holidays. We will be leaving a note for the new owners of our house to advise them to use Paws 4 Walking should they decide to have any pets. Thank you so much P4W team!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Could not recommend P4W more highly. Secure, professional and flexible, I was reassured with how thorough the home assessment was and am delighted to receive updates when I'm away. My cat is extraordinarily shy so I'm always so impressed when the team send pictures of her looking happy and curious about who's in her house!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
