Dog Walking With a Personal Touch
James Dog Walking was started with a simple idea: dog walking should be about more than just getting a dog out for some exercise.
After having my own dog for 16 years, I know how much they become part of the family. She was a Springer Spaniel and Labrador cross, and after losing her to old age, I found myself really missing the time spent walking and being around a dog.
I'm not in a position to have another dog of my own right now, but starting James Dog Walking gives me the opportunity to spend time with dogs, get out walking in the fresh air and do something I genuinely enjoy.
Most importantly, I want every dog I look after to receive the same care, patience and attention I'd want for my own.
Getting To Know Your Dog
Every dog has their own personality.
Some are full of energy, some are more relaxed, and some have their own particular ways of doing things. I'll take the time to understand those differences rather than treating every dog the same.
As I get to know your dog, I'll learn what they enjoy, what they're comfortable with and what makes their walks better.
The aim is to build a genuine bond with them, so they become comfortable and happy in my care.
Keeping Things Personal
I want James Dog Walking to stay small and personal.
That means I can take the time to properly get to know the dogs I walk, rather than treating them as another booking in the diary.
Wherever possible, I'll be the familiar face your dog gets to know — someone who understands their routine, personality and the little things that make them who they are.
For me, that's an important part of providing a service you can feel confident in.
The Kind of Service I'd Want For My Own Dog
Leaving your dog with someone else is a big thing.
You want to know they're safe, well looked after and enjoying themselves while they're out.
That's the standard I want to work to.
I'm not looking to become the biggest dog-walking business around. I want to build something local, reliable and personal, where I know the dogs I walk and their owners know exactly who is looking after them.
Professional Care, Personal Service
While keeping things personal is important to me, I also understand that you need to know your dog is in safe hands.
I'm fully insured to provide professional dog walking and I've completed a dog first aid course.
I also GPS track my walks and send photos and a short walk report afterwards, so you'll know where your dog has been and how they got on.
Meet & Greet
Before I start walking your dog, I'll arrange a free, no-obligation meet & greet.
It's an opportunity for me to meet you and your dog, talk about their routine and needs, and make sure we're the right fit.
It's important that you're comfortable with me — and that your dog is too.
Tell Me About Your Dog
If you're looking for a reliable, personal dog walker in Ipswich, Martlesham, Kesgrave, Woodbridge or the surrounding areas, I'd love to hear from you.
