Walking the Dog

Our labrador Henry (now 11) has stayed with Walking the Dog on several occasions over the years. He bonded with Gavin on the first visit and he clearly enjoys his stays with them. They have always taken good care of Henry and are very considerate of his changing needs as he is getting older. I would recommend Walking the Dog without hesitation.

Walking the dog provide an exceptional service. After a few bad experiences with doggy daycares I am so grateful to Gav and the team. My dog absolutely adores going, I always get an update and loads of photos so I know my dog is in the best hands. I have also noticed a huge difference in my dogs behaviour since going, he’s much calmer and better on walks. Gav is also always at the end of the phone if I need any advice, he goes above and beyond. Thank you!

5** dog walking and boarding. I have use Gavin for quite a few years to walk and board my dog Jake. 100% trust in Gavin and Jake loves him and all his other play mates.

I can't speak highly enough about Walking the Dog. Gavin has been caring for our English setters for over a decade. He is 100% reliable, very flexible, and the dogs love being with and his pack.

Gavin and his team provide an excellent service, always professional, polite and flexible in terms of pick ups and drop offs. We’ve relied on Gavin for 10 years now and wouldn’t want our dog to be look after by anyone else.

This is a brilliant service. My dog absolutely loves it.

Gavin is a great guy and provides an excellent, caring and safe environment for dogs. My dog obviously loves going to Gavin because he is so excited every time he sees him. I couldn’t recommend Walking the Dog highly enough.

Gavin has been looking after our little lad Mikey for almost two years now and he treats him like he is one of his own. Mikey’s face lights up as soon as Gavin’s van approaches our street. Gavin is loyal, trustworthy and very accommodating so we absolutely recommend him. .

Excellent, friendly and reliable service. Gavin also sends us regular photos of our dogs all snuggled up or chasing each other.

We have used walking the dog now for 11 years as dog walkers and boarding they are fantastic and wouldn't trust our 2 dogs with anyone else our dogs love staying with gavin when we are on holiday.

Fantastic service! Loves our dog like one of the family! She always has a great time and is happy to see Gav! Feel secure leaving her when we go on holiday! Top service! .

Superb value for money. Reliable and most importantly, my dog loves Gavin. Fantastic service. Would definitely recommend. 5 stars!

Rosie loves her walks with Gavin and whilst she is getting on in years is always eager to go out for her walks, he is very caring with all the dogs and after a muddy walk is always returned clean and dry, Gavin is always on time and very dependable.

I've been using Gavins boarding services for a long time now, when we go on holiday Ozzy goes on his too, and we have comfort in the knowledge he is in safe hands, getting lots of cuddles and has loads of company and exercise too. I'd highly recommend Walking the Dog.

Excellent service Gavin is a total dog lover, it’s not just a job it’s a passion. He loves all his dogs and they all love him I’ve tried a few different dog walkers/boarders but never felt comfortable with them until I met Gavin and now I know my baby boy is in good hands.

We used Jemma in the summer for our guinea pig Bentley. He thoroughly enjoyed himself and Jemma was great by sending us photos every day. Thanks so much!

I've used walking the dog now for quite some time. Having changed jobs I needed a reliable service and more importantly someone who could look after my pup when I'm not home. Gav, Karen and Harriett have been brilliant. He loves his walks and is looked after well.

I've been a customer for about a year and in that time the service has been consistently reliable, and flexible to my needs, which vary from week to wee. The walker, who regularly takes my four dogs, clearly has a great relationship with them: if I am in when she comes, I can see this from the way they greet her. She in particular has provided a service that exceeds expectations.

Our two miniature Schnauzers always stay with Gavin and his family when we go on holiday two or three times a year. They both get very excited when he comes to collect them, usually demonstrated by jumping up on his lap and licking his ears, and go off happily with hardly a backward glance. On their return they are always freshly bathed and groomed and in tip top condition. There is never any 'sulking' because we've been away without them and they immediately settle back into their usual routine. We can go away and completely relax knowing that Freddie and Flossie are being very well looked after in a home from home environment and enjoying lots of walks with doggie friends old and new. Gavin provides an excellent service and Walking the Dog fully deserves all the accolades and five star reviews it receives.

Fantastic service, we use every week and have also used the home boarding service -which we would highly recommend. We know Oscar is well cared for and looked after by Gavin and all the other walkers and we are more then happy to recommend to other dog owners.
