Why choose us

Care your dog can feel, and you can trust

We keep our packs small and our walks proper — real countryside, real exercise, and photo updates so you always know how the day went.

🐾

Small group walks

No more than four dogs per walk, carefully matched by size and temperament so every dog stays happy and safe.

🌿

Proper Lakeland routes

Woodland, riverside and fell-edge trails across the South Lakes — the good, muddy, tail-wagging kind of walk.

🛡️

Fully insured & DBS-checked

Public liability insured, DBS-checked and canine first-aid trained. Your dog and your keys are in safe hands.

📍

GPS-tracked routes

Know exactly where your dog has been — every walk is tracked and shared so there are no surprises.

📸

Photo updates every walk

A little gallery of your dog living their best life lands after every outing. It's the best part of our day too.

Reliable key-holding

Secure, GDPR-friendly key handling and a consistent, familiar face at the door your dog gets to know.

A familiar, dog-obsessed face

Lakes Dog Walking is a small, local outfit built on one idea: dogs deserve real adventures and owners deserve total peace of mind.

Born and raised in the South Lakes, I've spent my life on these trails and can't imagine a better office than a woodland path with a happy pack in tow. Every dog is treated like my own — patient with the nervous ones, tireless with the bouncy ones, and always home safe, tired and content.
