A LOCAL FACE. A PROPER CONNECTION.Hello, I’m
Tom CloadYour local Digs for Dogs walker
Hello, I’m
Tom.
Get to know the person behind the walks.
Tom CloadYour local Digs for Dogs walkerI’m Tom, and I run a family-operated dog walking service covering Ainsworth, Elton, Walshaw and surrounding areas. My aim is to give you peace of mind while your dog enjoys the fresh air, exercise and company they need, returning home happily tired and ready for a well-earned nap.
I live in Tottington with my wife and our cat, Merlin. I’ve always loved animals, and dogs have been a huge part of my life. That passion led me to work with them full-time, building hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes and temperaments.
I like to keep our walks varied, with regular outings to Elton Reservoir, Burrs Country Park, the Kirklees Trail and Dow Lane Park. There’s time to explore, follow interesting smells and enjoy the outdoors, with each walk suited to the dogs in my care.
Whether your dog enjoys group adventures or prefers a calm, one-to-one walk, I’ll take time to understand their personality, routine and needs. I also offer home visits and a pet taxi service. Tell me about any specific requirements, and we’ll agree the right support to help your dog feel comfortable, cared for and settled.

Google review excerpts from Tom's customers.
“Tom offers an excellent service and is very accommodating. My dog Coco absolutely loves him. Thank you Tom”
“Could not recommend Tom more. Me and my partner work full time so finding time to walk her can be hard but Tom has made it so easy. She sleeps all afternoon after her walk and you can tell she enjoys them a lot!”
“Could not recommend Tom more! He’s absolutely fantastic. Our 1 year old border collie Arlo absolutely adores his walks with Tom and his little doggy friends.10/10”
“I highly recommend Tom as a dog walker. He’s been amazing with my German Shepherds, and they absolutely love their walks with him. His calm demeanor works wonders, even with my most excitable dogs. Tom is patient, reliable, and always accommodating.”
“My pup can be a bit nervous, but loves Tom and is always super excited to see him pull up in his van! He has a great way of helping her feel confident and settled. I cannot rate him highly enough. Thanks Tom!”
“Tom has been walking our dog for years now. He is reliable and professional, the only person I would trust with my pup ☺️”
“Tom has been walking our dogs for 2 years now, starting with puppy visits for our youngest dog in the early days, then progressing to walks with the pair of them. Our other dog is very nervous, but Tom has really built his trust and knows how best to support him.”
“Tom is absolutely fantastic! Our dog Dougie adores him and looks forward to Tom coming each week!”

BEFORE THE FIRST WALKA little
A little
reassurance.
A few things you might be wondering.
Can I meet Tom before deciding?
Yes. A free meet and greet gives you and your dog time to get to know Tom and ask questions before you decide to book.
Does my dog have to join a group?
No. Tom offers both small group walks and one-to-one walks. We’ll discuss your dog’s needs and agree the right option with you.
Do you cover my postcode?
Tell us your postcode in the enquiry form and we’ll check coverage and availability for your address.
