Dog Walking
What Do I Do?
I currently walk dogs from the surrounding villages of Enderby. All dogs are transported in a dog-friendly, secure adapted van (“Paddy!”). Whilst your dog is in the van, they have a supply of water, a healthy natural treat, and items such as lick mats to help them calm through the journey if needed. I aim to keep your dogs as calm as possible in the van, so they will be ready for their walk.
On walks, I always have a mobile phone, water, toys, a spare lead, treats, and a first aid kit with me. It's always best to be prepared for those moments.
My dog adventures provide a natural environment, in the countryside, which has physical benefits and mental stimulation. All of which your dog needs for healthy well-being. The countryside is a natural agility course where they can walk, run, jump over, and climb. The mental benefits of the countryside environment are mind-blowing to dogs. They can use all their senses of Sight, Smell, Touch, Taste, and Sound. The power of their senses is phenomenal and once they are used their brains kick in. Using a dog’s senses can be more tiring than a walk down the street.
To ensure the safety of your dog I only walk four to five dogs at a time, and this also depends on their breed and sizing too. I will be discouraging bad habits and rewarding good behavior along the way to help you as owners with reinforced learning.
Prices are as follows…
30 - 45 minutes Group Walk - £14, Another dog from the same household £10.

What will happen?
I will give you an approximate time when I will be picking your dog up. This may vary due to unforeseen circumstances or weather issues. You will be notified if arrangements need to be changed the day before.
I will pick all the dogs up and off we go. Please note, that after I pick up your dog they will be out of the house for up to 2 hours. This time combines pick up, the walk, clean downs and dry offs and drop off.
After the walk, your dog will be returned home safe and sound. They will get fresh water and a natural treat before I leave.
When I take on new dogs, for the first few weeks I will send a message to you via What's App, to give you feedback. I apologise if you don't get the feedback till later on in the day. After a few weeks, you will see the photos on our Facebook page. I will certainly contact you on a regular basis. Please note, since Covid, there are a lot more dogs about. Lots of these dogs aren't trained well and I am permanently on watch. Sometimes I don't get time to take photos but will try my best. The safety of your dogs is my utmost concern.
Payments
Please pay prior to your dog's walk. This can be either on a Monday each week or at the start of the month. I accept payments via Bank Transfer, no cash. Payment details will be given at your consultation.

I could not recommend Maria more highly. She walks our lab Bella 🐕 3 days a week and has helped out with additional walks when work commitments have needed. She genuinely cares for the dogs and knows Bella’s anxieties and likes. Bella loves water, mud, puddles, sticks and fields and she gets plenty of this on walks. Maria is very knowledgeable and highly skilled ( please see her credentials). Very professional and reliable. She is doggy first aid trained which was important to us. She is happy to chat and offer valuable advice. Very happy dog and owners
Maria recently walked our staffy X whose nearly 9 for 2 weeks while we were on holiday. I've been to pick him up from my dads today and I can honestly say I've never seen him so happy. I can instantly tell he's been walked, had exercise and enjoyed himself. hes been eating well too which he can struggle with if we are away. prince was walked in a group and Maria offered me no end of advice, I found her extremely helpful. I would not hesitate in recommending Maria to walk your dog, shes very knowledgeable and professional. We intend to continue using her services

Maria is very professional and friendly, treats our two golden retrievers with so much love just like her own! She sends us a detailed plan of the walk she has done after every walk and photos sent to us daily and put on social media.
If you need your dog walking in the day while your at work then look no further than Maria.
