GET TO KNOW YOUR LOCAL TEAM

Hello, I’m Hazel.

I love giving dogs a happy break in their day and the reassurance of a familiar friend. There’s something lovely about earning their trust, getting to know their favourite things and seeing them enjoy their time out.

Pugneys and Thornes Park are two of my regular favourite places in Wakefield. I love taking the dogs along the lakeside paths and through the park, with time for exploring and a little fuss along the way.

With small group walks, one-to-one walks, puppy and home visits and dog day care, I can help make your dog’s day a little more enjoyable while you’re busy. I love giving them company they can look forward to.

A LITTLE HELLO. A BIG ADVENTURE.

Let’s find their
happy walking routine.

Get acquainted, make a plan, then let the exploring begin.

A FEW THINGS YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING

Your dog walking
questions, answered.

Still have a question? We are here to help.

Will I meet you before my dog’s first walk?+

We always start with a free meet and greet so you and your dog can get to know us. We’ll chat about their routine, personality and little quirks, answer your questions and make sure you feel comfortable before their first walk.

Will my dog walk with other dogs?+

We keep our groups small so every dog gets our full attention. We carefully choose walking companions with your dog’s safety, personality and confidence in mind, helping them feel comfortable and enjoy their time together. For dogs who prefer their own space, we also offer solo walks.

Do I need to be home for their walk?+

No, we’re here to make your day a little easier. We’ll agree access arrangements with you beforehand, collect your dog and settle them back home after their walk. We’ll talk through the little details together so you feel happy leaving them in our care.

Can I book occasional walks?+

Of course. Whether you need a regular helping hand or support on the occasional busy day, we’re happy to chat. Occasional walks depend on availability, but we’ll do our best to find something that works for you and your dog.

Can you help with puppies and older dogs?+

Absolutely. From a puppy’s early days to a gentler pace in later life, we’ll help you find care that suits them. Our home visits offer company and attention when a full walk isn’t right. As puppies grow in confidence and are ready for more adventure, we can gradually introduce them to our group walks.

What happens in very hot or bad weather?+

Your dog’s comfort and wellbeing always come first. We’ll adapt their outing to the conditions, which may mean a shorter walk, a different time or a home visit instead. We’ll keep you informed and talk through any changes, so you feel reassured about their care.
