Dog Walking in Saint Helens

“Hayley is excellent! Bullet looks forward to her walk. She is always on time, never cuts short a walk. I would recommend Hayley with no concerns.”

“Sully loved his walk today. Emma was lovely and professional. Doing a meet and greet beforehand and sending lots of pictures and updates on the day. Give you a peace of mind whilst your pooch is with someone else. Will definitely use again :)”

About: Let me introduce myself - I’m Chrissie and I absolutely love Dogs!! Due to the passing of my beloved Hugo (seen in pics) last year, I have missed the bond of having a pet and getting out in nature as much. I have looked after family dogs many times over the last decade, from springer spaniels, staffys and jack russels. I have loved each dog as if it were my own. I give them the care and affection they deserve and will give yours just as much (if not more!) Carr mill dam is literally at the end of my road, so your dog will have the luxury of the various walks available in the area. I also drive so can take well behaved dogs to other nearby places where your pet can explore its surroundings. I’m looking for well behaved dogs who are good around children as my young son is likely to join us on our walks. I am a teaching assistant by day so I can occasionally provide drop-in checks after school hours, but mainly available for long weekends and school holidays. Perfect for families who are looking for breaks away but not wanting massive expenses for kennel boarding. I have a large astro turfed garden with high fences. Dogs are allowed to roam freely around my home and garden. My home is essentially theres and wish for them to feel as comfortable and safe as possible.

“Alex is fabulous, she’s great at picking up on what Sophie wants and needs and adjusting to that rather than just sticking to the plan. I love that she’s so adaptable and I know that Sophie is in good hands.”

About: Hi, I’m Michael! I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life, so I know exactly how much they mean to a family. To me, they aren’t just pets, they’re our best friends. I started Tail Waggin' Adventures because I wanted to give local dogs a chance to get out, explore, and have a bit of fun while their owners are busy. What our walks are like: I don’t believe a walk should just be a quick trip around the block. I like to make sure your dog actually has a great time. - If your dog loves a fast-paced hike, we’ll do that. If they’re older and just want to spend 30 minutes sniffing every single tree, that’s fine too! I follow their lead. - I’m always on the lookout for busy roads or other dogs to make sure everything stays stress-free. I’ll always stick to your specific rules and whatever temperament your dog has. - I want to be someone your dog is actually excited to see. I use lots of praise and treats (if allowed!) to make sure we become the best of friends. Check ins: If your pet prefers staying at home, I can pop in to help. I'll refresh their food and water, clean litter trays, and make sure they get some garden time and plenty of attention. I always keep a close eye on their behavior and appetite, and I’ll send you a quick update and some photos after every visit so you can relax. I’m fully insured and DBS checked, so you know your home and your pets are in safe hands. I always suggest a free meet and greet first to make sure I’m the right fit for your pet. Just send me a message and we’ll get it booked in! I work part time in my day job, which is quite flexible. This means I can usually shift things around to suit your schedule. While I'm wide open on weekends, I can often make mid-week or evening sessions work too. Every week can be a little different, so it’s always worth sending me a message, I’m happy to chat and see how I can fit into your pet's routine! I understand how important your home is, and I promise to treat it with the same care and respect I give to your pet. You'll always find your space left exactly as it was, providing you with complete peace of mind.

“Thanks Natalie for a lovely walk with Bella this morning! 😊”

About: I grew up with 4 cats and 2 Labradors in my family, this sparked my compassion for animals. I adore playing, training, and most importantly making sure they have everything they need such as enough sleep, the right nutrition, enrichment and exercise! Presently, I am the owner of a Labrador puppy (and a cute elderly hamster)! She is incredibly well behaved, extremely well trained and always happy - this did not go without lots of highs and lows 😂. If you choose me to walk or look after your pet I will not disappoint. I am positive I will be able to give your dog anything it needs. I am able to handle large, strong breeds and I am also experienced with reactive dogs and how to train them. I am currently a postgraduate Student Doctor at the University of Liverpool meaning I have free time when most people are working! I am available intermittently during week days and available most weekends. I have a large fenced garden where my Labrador puppy loves to play and forage for food! She gets an amazing variety of exercise and training including tug of war, fetch, heel and recall work, and lots more enrichment. Our puppy also has specific nap times after a large meal or exercise which hugely helps dog behaviour as well as limiting any problems with digestion.

Whether it’s a long walk, a cuddle session, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. In my home, pets are treated like family—they have full access to cozy spaces, including sofas and beds, because I believe they should feel as comfortable as possible while away from home. Whether they love to cuddle or need their own space, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved. ✔️ Spacious & Comfortable Environment: My home has a big enough living room where pets can lounge, play, or nap without feeling cramped. ✔️ Secure Outdoor Space: I have a fenced garden, providing a safe area for pets to run, explore, and enjoy fresh air under supervision. ✔️ Home Comforts: Pets are welcome on the furniture and can sleep in the bed if they choose, just like they would at home. ✔️ Plenty of Attention: Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or peaceful naps, I ensure they get the love and care they’re used to. ✔️ Exercise & Enrichment: Daily walks, interactive toys, and fun activities keep them happy and engaged. ✔️ Routine & Familiarity: I maintain their feeding and potty schedule to minimize stress.

“Natasha was amazing with Hilbert. Hilbert had a small medical condition but Natasha was so patient and very good with him and helped us to monitor him and didn’t let the medical condition get worse. Hilbert really liked her and was very happy spending time with her and walking with her. We would love to book with her again on her next availability. Thank you 🙏🏻”
