Hello, I’m
Hazel.
Get to know the person behind the walks.
Hazel ShepherdYour local Digs for Dogs walkerI know it’s a big thing to trust someone with your dog. I’ll meet you both first, listen to what they need and help them feel comfortable before their walks begin.
The Calder and Hebble towpath and the routes around Stanley Ferry offer plenty of waterside walking near Wakefield and Horbury. I take my time and choose the distance to suit the dog, with fresh air and plenty to sniff.
My services include small group walks, one-to-one walks, puppy visits and dog day care. A good walk means time to explore, a bit of fun and someone paying attention to how your dog is feeling.

Google review excerpts from Hazel's customers.
“We were very nervous about finding a dog walker as Rodney can be quite nervous of new people, but Hazel has been absolutely fantastic! She has been so patient with Rodney and has shown him warmth and care. Rodney now loves his works with Hazel and he’s become much more sociable.”
“Hazel is fantastic with my Labrador, Chester - he always has so much fun on his walks! She is always reliable, friendly - professional service, would highly recommend.”
“Hazel has walked and looked after our Chihuahua Dave on several occasions , taking him on walks, checking in on him whilst we’re at work. Dave is always so excited to see Hazel and have walks, a fuss and treats! Excellent service and I know he’s well looked after and needs attended to.”
