Chasing Tails Book a meet and greet

Services and prices

Four simple options, and no hidden extras. If you are not sure which suits your dog, book a free meet and greet and we will work it out together.

Group walks

£13.50 per hour

An hour out in the fields and woods with a small group of dogs. Groups never go above six, and are usually smaller. Good for sociable dogs who love a run about and enjoy company.

  • Picked up from home and dropped back after
  • Off lead time where you have agreed it and recall is reliable
  • Paws wiped and a quick towel dry if it is muddy
  • Fresh water topped up when I drop your dog home
  • A photo and a short update after every walk

Solo walks

£13.50 per hour

One to one time for dogs who prefer their own company, are still building confidence, are recovering from something, or need steady lead work and a calmer pace.

  • Just your dog and me, at their pace
  • Route chosen to suit your dog, quiet lanes or open fields
  • Happy to keep up any training you are doing
  • Suits older dogs and dogs who find groups a bit much
  • A photo and a short update after every walk

Puppy visits

£8 per 30 minute visit

For young pups who are not ready for full walks yet, or have not finished their vaccinations. A break in the day so they are not left too long.

  • Toilet break and a clean up if needed
  • A play and a cuddle
  • Gentle lead and recall practice in the garden
  • Feeding if it falls in the visit
  • A photo and a short update after every visit

Home visits

£8 per 30 minute visit

For older dogs, cats, rabbits and other small pets who are happier at home. Company and care while you are at work or away for the day.

  • Feeding, fresh water and medication as instructed
  • A short potter round the garden for dogs
  • Litter trays and hutches cleaned
  • Some company and a fuss
  • A photo and a short update after every visit

Weekend and bank holiday walks are available by arrangement. A small surcharge may apply on bank holidays, and I will always agree it with you first.

Good to know

Second dog half price

If you have two dogs from the same household, the second one is half price on every walk and visit. So two dogs on a group walk is £20.25 for the hour, not £27.

How I match group walks

Dogs are grouped by size, age, energy and temperament, not just by who is free at the same time. A bouncy young Labrador and a steady old terrier do not go out together. I meet every dog first, and I take new dogs out with one or two calm regulars before they join a full group. If I think a dog would be happier on its own, I will say so.

Bad weather

Rain is fine, that is what towels are for. In severe weather such as heat warnings, storms, ice or flooding I may shorten a walk, swap it for a home visit or cancel it for the dogs' safety. I will always let you know, and you are not charged for a walk I cancel.

Cancellations and payment

Please give 24 hours' notice to cancel or change a walk. Walks cancelled with less notice are charged in full unless I can fill the slot. I invoice weekly or monthly, whichever you prefer, and payment is by bank transfer or cash within seven days. Full details are in the terms.
