How joining the pack works

The group only works because it is chosen carefully, so every dog is assessed for compatibility before anything is agreed.

1

Say hello

Message or call me for an initial chat. Tell me about your dog, their individual needs, and which days you would like.

2

Trial walk

Your dog is allocated to a suitable group for a trial walk, to give them the best chance of settling. We then have another chat so I can let you know how they got on.

3

Off on adventures

If it is a good match for us all, we agree your regular days. Two or more walks a week means a different location each time.

Hayley, owner of Paws Services, with her Shih Tzu cross Poppy in Hove

Hi, I'm Hayley

I provide a high quality dog walking service in central Hove, where I live with my 15-year-old Shih Tzu / Westie cross, Poppy. My priority is taking care of your dog's wellbeing in a safe, stimulating and caring environment.

I am committed to ongoing personal and professional development. I have undertaken qualifications in Canine Behaviour and Canine Communication, and I have an up to date Canine First Aid Certificate. I am fully insured, including public liability, care, custody and control, and non-negligent cover.

I have many years' experience of caring for dogs as an owner, plus 9+ years running Paws-Services with different breeds, varying life stages and the complexities of group walks.

"I know I am doing my job well when both the dog and owner are happy with the service they are getting."

Qualified, insured, and checkable

Every certificate is here for you to read rather than take on trust.

Questions I get asked a lot

If yours is not here, call me on 07730 611805 and I will happily talk it through.

Are you insured?

Yes, we are fully insured with Protectivity. Our insurance includes Public Liability, Care Custody and Control and Non-Negligent Cover.

Do you accept all breeds of dog?

We only consider small / medium breed dogs. We cannot consider any dog with a history of aggressive or reactive behaviour. An assessment for compatibility with and suitability for walking with other dogs in our group will need to be undertaken prior to a contract being agreed.

Do you accept puppies?

We can consider accepting puppies from 9 months. This will depend on our group at the time.

Do you take bitches in season or unneutered males?

We are unable to take bitches in season or unneutered males due to the potential risk or disruption to other dogs in the group.

How many dogs do you walk at a time?

I am insured to walk a maximum of six dogs at any one time.

Do you provide a collection and drop-off service?

Yes, we provide a collection and drop off service. You can contact us to see our service area.

Do you walk dogs off lead?

Yes, my insurance covers me for walking dogs off lead. Owners will be required to sign a consent form to enable us to walk their dogs off lead. Dogs should have demonstrable proof of good recall ability.

Where are the dogs walked and for how long?

I always walk dogs in a countryside or woodland locations away from busy roads to reduce risks. Walks are a minimum of one hour unless there are any special requirements that your dog has that have been discussed and agreed beforehand.

Can you administer medication to my dog?

Yes, I am more then happy to administer medication should this be required. Owners will be responsible for giving information about the medication and relevant doses and times.

What payment methods do you accept?

Currently I am accepting Cash and Bank Transfers.
