Our experience
I’m a qualified pet first aid and animal behaviour & welfare professional, with hands-on experience volunteering to train reactive dogs at a local rescue centre. I have over 5 years of personal experience working with my own dogs in training and dog sports, and have also worked at The Dog HQ, advising dog owners on canine nutrition.

With a deep passion for dogs and years of experience, we provide structured dog walks aimed at improving behaviour and confidence through exercise, basic obedience, and mental enrichment.

FAQs - Walking & Pet Sitting
We know trusting someone with your dog is a big decision, so we've put together answers to our most frequently asked questions. From how our walks work to safety, this section covers everything you need to know about Wander with Pawpose and how we care for your four-legged friends. If you have any further question don't hesitate to contact us!
Do I need to provide anything?
All you need to provide is your dogs collar, harness and lead, we'll handle the rest! We supply water, poo bags and treats (if your dog has dietary needs, just let us know or provide suitable treats).
How many dogs do you walk together?
Our main focus is 1-1 walks designed around training, structure, and enrichment, but we also offer small group walks of up to 3 compatible dogs (pending assessments and suitability matching).
Do you walk in all weathers?
We walk in all weathers providing it is safe for the dogs. In the event of extreme heat walk timings will be adjusted to accommodate.
How do you transport the dogs?
All dogs will travel securely in a crash tested crate made by Mimsafe to ensure their safety.
Do you pick up/drop off the dogs?
Once we’ve completed a meet and greet and set up a plan, you won’t need to be home for our visits. A secure lockbox for your key works perfectly and ensures easy, safe access for your dog’s walks or care.
Are you insured?
Yes! We are fully insured including Public Liability and Care, Custody and Control.
Do you allow the use of tools?
We understand every dog is different and may benefit from tools like slip leads, prong collars, or e-collars — we allow and are experienced in their proper use.
Do you vary the walk locations?
Yes! We love to keep walks varied and enriching for every dog. We offer a mix of urban and rural routes, from fields and woods to rivers and quiet trails, ensuring each walk provides new sights, smells, and experiences.
What happens in case of emergency?
​We’re fully prepared and trained in pet first aid to provide immediate care. We’ll then contact your named vet, or the nearest available one, to ensure your dog gets the help they need quickly.
