We understand city-centre living, especially for dogs in apartments. Even without a garden, your dog will still enjoy quality outdoor exercise and a structured routine.
Trial Walks and Settling In
Every new booking starts with a settling-in period. We usually ask clients to be home on the first day so we can meet you and your dog together and make sure everything runs smoothly.
If you can’t be home, that’s fine. Many clients arrange key access through their concierge, drop keys at our office, or arrange a collection beforehand.
All trial walks are charged at our standard £18 rate. If, after a few walks, it feels like it isn’t the right match, we can simply stop without any additional fees. Your dog’s comfort and wellbeing always come first.
Flexible Support for Ancoats Pet Owners
Dog walking is available Monday to Friday. If you need short visits instead of full walks, we also provide dog sitting and puppy visits. For transport, our pet taxi service covers Ancoats, Manchester, and beyond.
