The credentials of a professional dog walker
When you leave your dog or pet with someone, you want to know they’re safe, understood, and handled properly.
This page covers the checks, training, and approach behind how I work day-to-day.
You can see how this fits into my services here:

Checks and insurance
- Enhanced DBS checked (via Scouts)
- Fully insured for dog walking and in-home pet care
This means you’re trusting someone who has been vetted and is covered to work in your home and with your pets.
Training and experience
My work is based on calm, one-to-one handling and understanding the dog in front of me.
- Level 3 Ofqual-regulated canine first aid
- Ongoing experience with rescue and nervous dogs
- One-to-one walking approach for dogs who don’t suit groups
You can see how this is applied in real walks here:

Additional learning and influences
I continue to build my knowledge through practical approaches that focus on calm behaviour and confidence.
- Tellington TTouch
- Reactive Rascals
- Calmness Rocks
These approaches focus on:
- reducing stress
- building confidence
- working at the dog’s pace
How this shows up in real care
Qualifications are important, but what matters is how your dog is treated day to day.
That means:
- no group pressure
- no rushing
- no forcing dogs into situations they can’t cope with
Everything is adapted to your dog, whether that’s a confident dog needing exercise or a rescue dog still settling in.
