Cheltenham's Premier Dog Walker, Boarding and Pet Service Specialist

Of course you can but our policy at whoswalkingme is that we have chosen not to walk dogs that are in care with other walkers. The main reasons for this are not only do we have the ability to cover all eventualities you will ever need, but we find dogs prefer consistency and issues can develop where there isn't a full audit trail on activities and potential injuries.

We collect your dog from your home/place of work and then return them after their walk . Traffic and dogs can be quite erratic at times so please bear in mind we may be a little early or late at times. If you have booked in a walk using our online system we will be there as soon as we can. For any specific requests please give us a call beforehand.

Yes. whoswalkingme.co.uk and all of our walkers are fully insured, this includes key cover. Feel free to ask to see a copy of our insurance certificate.

No. Most clients are comfortable sharing a set of keys with whoswalkingme.co.uk to enable us to collect and drop off your dog even if you are not home. An alternative to this is to fit a keysafe at your property which we can help arrange if needed.

Unlike a lot of other local walkers we work 365 days a year. We have a number of staff that allows us to cover holidays and such like. Weekend and Bank holidays walks are limited and are on a first come first served basis, and priority is always given to current weekly walkers. 

For Walks, please use the online system and cancellations can be made right up to 7pm the night before the walk or telephone giving at least 24 hours’ notice, for no charges to apply. In the event you need to cancel on the same day then call 07825 183242. Should we be unable to access your property as arranged to carry out the walk then the service will be charged as normal. Please note that boarding deposits and full payments are non refundable and non transferable. However should you wish to cancel after a non refundable deposit has been paid, you can do so giving us 7 days notice before the commencement of the booking to avoid paying the remainder of the balance.

In the unlikely event of an emergency, we will immediately call and notify you. In the original consultation, we ensure that we have all the family emergency contact details. If veterinary assistance is needed, we will take your dog to your named vet or, depending on the circumstances, to the nearest possible one.

Yes. Your dog will be under constant supervision by one of whoswalkingme.co.uk experienced dog walkers, and will NEVER be left unattended.

We will cater to your dog’s needs and current walking locations including, but not limited to: Crickley Hill, Brizen Fields, Dowdswell, Leckhampton Hill, Cleeve Hill. In addition we now have access to 300 acres of private farm land away from traffic.

Unlike many secure dog parks our fields are not fully enclosed due to the size. We feel rather than restricting your dogs play to in some cases less than an acre our use of 300 acres gives the dogs more chance to enjoy all sorts of surroundings including woodlands, meadows and ponds. Whilst the fields are located away from roads, we cannot guarantee that you dog won't be spooked by nature. Dogs will be dogs and they love to explore. We always discuss your dogs habits before any walking and ask the owners to make us aware of any issues at home that might affect behaviour. Where we deem necessary we have our own trackers which give us real time information for high risk dogs.

This can be discussed during our initial consultation, each dog will be considered separately for walking, but we reserve the right to refuse or cancel any dog. For boarding we do not take un neutered and un spayed dogs.

Unfortunately we cannot take dogs in season on group walks, however if possible we may be able to arrange individual walks at this time, so please contact us for more details.

Your key will be kept secure and away from personal information and no key can be identified to any property. In the event of your key being lost or stolen we will advise you immediately. Your personal information will never be sold or discussed with any 3rd parties in accordance with the Data Protection Act.

We carefully select which dogs will walk together, if we find an imbalance within the group we will switch accordingly and inform you of our decision. We want all of our dogs to enjoy their walk.

Puppies usually have to go out every 2-3 hours. For example if you are gone for 8 hours, we will come over twice during the day and let the puppy out, feed and cuddle the puppy. Having a dog walker for a puppy makes training much easier, we will work with your puppy to heel, sit, stay, etc. We will also be able to introduce them to other dogs, once they have received their vaccinations.

We have fully insured vans, which have dog guards and cages fitted. Each cage has non slip mats to make the journey to the walk as safe as possible.  

Yes. We are happy to provide services as and when you require, assuming we have diary availability but having a number of walkers working for whoswalkingme we are normally able to accommodate your needs. Our online booking system gives owners the ability to book and cancel services right up to 7pm the day before. We recommend that you give as much notice as possible.

Not during our group walks as they are not suitable for an aggressive dog to be on. Other solutions may be available so please contact us for more information. .

We have a limited number of home boarding spaces and currently hold a 5 star council licence issued by Tewkesbury borough Council. Due to high demand for spaces and in order to accommodate or regular walkers we do not board dogs we do not walk. If you would like to be considered then please contact us for a meet and greet. Please not any new boarding services will be subject to a payable trial stay to endure it suits all parties.

In bad weather we get wet!! We will clean and dry your dog off as much as possible and we have a doggy jet wash on board the van. We do ask that you leave out a towel out to help us dry them off. In the event that the weather becomes dangerous we will endeavour to come up with a suitable solution so that you dog has some level of exercise whilst you are at work and will notify you in advance of this happening.

It depends on what you want- but generally yes! If your dog is a little bit rusty on their recall then we can keep them on a long lead and let them run and play in safety! We will only let your dog off lead once we have written consent and it is safe to do so. We also have a number of pet trackers that we use for our own benefit,

Whoswalkingme.co.uk are happy to administer medication for your pet(s), in accordance with your written instructions. 

As long as the dog is not on the banned list we take each dog on its own merit and not on reputation of particular breeds. We meet all dogs before we walk them and each new dog is subject to a trial period. Any instances of aggressive behaviour will be investigated and we reserve the right to refuse to walk any dog.

We now have a number of GPS pet trackers available to use on more nervous dogs giving us live real time locations when needed. These trackers are for our benefit and involve no extra charge to you. If you wish us to use your own tracker then your can purchase one through our Partners page on our website.
