How it works

From Your Door to the Countryside

Every walk follows the same careful, professional process — from the very first introduction right through to your dog arriving home happy and tired.

STEP 01

Free Meet & Greet

We come to you for a relaxed, no-obligation introduction. We get to know your dog — their personality, routine, likes and quirks — and make sure we're the right fit before anything is booked.

No commitment. Just a friendly chat.

STEP 02

Safe Collection

On walk days, we collect your dog from your door and transport them safely in our professionally fitted-out van. Each dog travels in their own secure crate — comfortable, ventilated and calm.

Purpose-built vans. Individual safety crates.

STEP 03

Countryside Adventure

We head to one of our carefully chosen walking destinations around Chorley — countryside, woodland and open fields where dogs can run, explore and socialise properly, away from busy roads.

Rivington, Yarrow Valley, Coppull lanes & more.

STEP 04

Happy & Tired Home

After a brilliant walk, your dog is safely returned home. You'll receive photo updates from the adventure so you can see exactly what they've been up to — and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Regular photos. One very happy dog.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our dog walking service

It's easy. Simply get in touch with Kathryn & Dean and tell us a little about you and your dog. We'll arrange a meet & greet where we can get to know each other, discuss your dog's needs and explain how our service works.

Yes. We always like to meet you and your dog before walks begin. It's important to us that you feel comfortable with us and that we understand your dog's personality, routine and individual needs.

We have access to a range of beautiful walking destinations around Chorley and the surrounding areas. Our professionally equipped vans allow us to safely transport the dogs to suitable locations where they can enjoy their walks away from busy roads and built-up areas.

The dogs travel in our professionally fitted-out dog walking vans, designed with their safety and comfort in mind. Dogs are securely contained during transportation, with appropriate ventilation and a clean, comfortable environment.

This depends on the service booked and what is most suitable for your dog. We carefully consider each dog's temperament, personality, age and ability to ensure they're matched appropriately for group walks.

We aim to provide plenty of meaningful exercise and enrichment rather than simply rushing through a walk. The exact duration can depend on the service, location, weather and the individual needs of the dogs.

Off-lead walking is only considered where appropriate and where we have the owner's permission. We assess each dog's recall, temperament and the suitability and safety of the location before allowing off-lead exercise.

Your dog's welfare always comes first. Not every dog is suited to group walking, and we take the time to understand each dog's personality and behaviour. Where appropriate, a solo walk may be a better option.

Yes, depending on their age, vaccination status and individual needs. Puppy walks are tailored around their stage of development rather than simply treating them like an adult dog.

Yes. We can adapt walks around an older dog's fitness, mobility and individual requirements. We'll always discuss your dog's needs with you before starting.

We monitor the weather and always put the dogs' welfare first. During extreme heat, very cold conditions or severe weather, we may adjust, shorten or rearrange walks where necessary.

No dog is deliberately left unattended in circumstances where doing so could compromise their safety or welfare. We take appropriate precautions when transporting and caring for the dogs.

We know how much owners love seeing what their dogs have been up to! We regularly take photos during walks and share updates where appropriate.

We're based in Coppull and provide dog walking services across Chorley and surrounding areas. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, just get in touch and we'll be happy to check.

We offer regular and ongoing arrangements depending on availability. During your meet & greet, we'll discuss how often your dog needs walking and find an arrangement that works for you.

Our cancellation policy will be explained when you book our services. Please give us as much notice as possible if you need to make a change.

Yes, we have appropriate insurance for our dog walking business. Details can be discussed during your initial enquiry.

Your dog's welfare is our priority. We will contact you as soon as possible in an emergency and take appropriate action to ensure your dog receives the care they need.

This can depend on the medication and your dog's individual requirements. Please discuss this with us during your initial enquiry so we can confirm whether we're able to accommodate it safely.

We welcome dogs of different breeds and sizes, but every dog is assessed individually. Our priority is making sure that the service and walking arrangements are suitable and safe for your dog.

Still have a question?

Every dog is different. If you can't find the answer you're looking for, get in touch with Kathryn & Dean and we'll be happy to help.
