Dog walking, on a subscription
Four dogs. Same walker. Your key, locked up.
The walk is the easy part. What people actually worry about is who holds the key, which dogs theirs is out with, and what happens on the day it's too hot to go anywhere. All three are answered on this page.
Monthly, and pausable

$112/month

Pause with a week's notice and pay nothing while you're away. A month's notice to stop, and no exit fee — a subscription that is hard to pause is only a trap with a nicer name on it.
Your key
Where it lives — In a safe at our premises — not in a walker's pocket overnight
What's on the tag — A code. Never your name, never your address, never your dog's name
Who has it today — One named walker, signed out in the morning and signed back in by six
If you change the locks — Tell us and we collect the old one, so it isn't floating around
When you cancel — It comes back within two working days, by hand, and you sign for it
If a key is ever lost — You hear it that day, from us, before you hear it any other way. We pay for the locks

This section is here because it is the question everybody wants to ask and almost nobody does. Ask any walker the same six things and see how ready the answers are.
When we won't walk — and what happens to your money
Dangerous heat — No walk. A garden visit, water and company instead — and you are charged the same
Ice and grit — A shorter route, on lead. Cut pads and salt are worse than a dull walk
Your dog is unwell — We ring you and skip it. That one is refunded
A storm or a weather warning — We won't send a walker out in it either. Visit instead, same charge
If your dog won't come out — We don't drag them. We sit with them, and we tell you what we saw

Charging you for a hot-day visit is the least popular sentence on this website. We keep it, because the alternative is a business with a financial reason to walk dogs in weather that hurts them.
Off lead, and who they walk with
Never off lead without permission
In writing, and only once the walker has seen the recall themselves in a fenced field. "She's usually fine" is not a recall.
Four dogs, and you'll know which four
The same small group each time, matched by size and pace. We tell you their names, and we tell you when one of them changes.
One walker, not a rota
Your dog gets the same person. There is a named cover walker, and they will have met your dog long before they are ever needed.
What lands on your phone
A photo — One good one rather than fifteen. If we're filming, we're not watching
The route — Where they went and how far, sent the moment the walk ends
A line about them — What they did, who they met, whether they ate the grass again
Anything odd — A limp, off their food, a lump worth looking at — straight away, not at the end of the week

“They rang from the car park to say he'd cut a pad, and had already turned round. I knew before I'd finished the meeting I was in.”

Weekday plan
★★★★★
“On the first hot week they sent a photo of him asleep in the garden with a note explaining why. I'd have been annoyed if they hadn't explained.”

Twice a week
Start with a meet
Free, at your house, with you there. Nothing is booked until after it, and if a group walk is wrong for your dog we'll say so on the day rather than later.
