FAQs about our pet Care services

Read our most frequently asked questions about our pet services below. If you still have a question, please contact us. We’re always happy to help.

How can I make a booking?

Email kristine@paws4walking.co.uk or give us a call on 01858 682007 and we will check availability for you. If we are able to meet your requirements we will arrange to come and meet you and your pet(s) at a time that suits you, to discuss the services you need, run through our terms and conditions, answer questions you may have and complete our paperwork for insurance purposes. This is a free, no obligation meeting so that you can make sure we are the right fit for you and your pet(s). This is completed on a laptop so we do ask for internet access at this meeting.

Do you collect and drop off my dog

Yes, the cost for each walk includes pick up and drop off from your home in our safe vehicles. We will pick your dog up from your home and return them happy, relaxed and towel dried if it’s been a wet day! Our insurance covers us for holding your house key if required, which is kept safe and secure.

What do I need to provide alongside my dog during walks?

Please provide any toys your dog likes to take on walks and any of their favourite treats. All dogs must be wearing a collar with an I.D tag (this is a legal requirement). We will discuss their needs at our consultation meeting.

I would prefer my dog not to be let off the lead during walks.

That is absolutely fine, we can walk your dog on the lead only. This is covered in the consent section of the booking form we will run through with you at our consultation meeting.

Do you provide any discounts?

We offer discounts to multi dog households across all of our walking services, and discounts on home visits if you require more than one house visit per day.

Are you insured?

Yes, we are fully insured with Pet Buiness Insurance. For more information, please contact us.

Do you have any Terms and Conditions?

Yes, our full T&C’s are detailed on our website. At the initial consultation meeting we will add your information into our Pet Sitter Software which each staff member has access to.

How many walkers will my dog have?

Your dog will be introduced to up to 3 of our team, to ensure they know their routine should we need to cover holiday or sickness.

I would rather my pet didn’t appear on social media?

No worries at all. Each new customer completes a consent form prior to booking our services so you can let us know you don’t wish your pet to appear on social media.

How do I pay?

Your details and requirements are added into our Pet Sitter Software and an invoice along with a schedule will be emailed to you. This will include our bank details so you can pay by direct bank transfer.

What vaccinations does my dog need?

Your dog must be up-to-date with their annual booster vaccinations. Dogs must be spayed or neutered.

What do I need to bring along?

If your dog is boarding with us you will need to bring enough food for the entire duration of the stay, plus extra in case of need, to keep them on the diet they are used to. Please advise how much your dog eats and the times you feed them. Bring along your dog’s favourite toys and treats to make them feel at home and maintain consistency. For added comfort, include your dog’s favourite bedding and blankets and any other items they would normally have at home. Please also bring along your dog’s regular collars, leads, harnesses, and dog bowls. Please see answers below for questions about raw diets and medication.

What if my dog takes medication

If applicable, bring enough medication for the duration of the stay, along with clear instructions on dosage and timing.

What if my dog eats raw food?

For fresh or raw diets, please use sealed, single-serve containers that can be kept in the fridge and/or freezer.
