At The Hassocks Dog Walker, your dog’s safety and comfort come first. My specially equipped van features individual secure crates, each with a fresh, cosy blanket for every journey. Blankets are changed between walks to ensure a clean, inviting space. In the warmer months, your dog will travel in a fully air-conditioned van to keep them cool and comfortable throughout the ride.

All of my walks last at least 1 hour, excluding pick-up and drop-off time. Your dog will be collected in my fully ventilated, air-conditioned van which is equipped with spacious, comfortable, and secure crates for their safety and comfort.

The Group Walks take place in several parts of Mid Sussex, in and around Hassocks, Ditchling, Hurstpierpoint and Burgess Hill. I carefully plan my walks so that the dogs can be safe off-lead.

I like to keep my group walks small, and new dogs are kept on a lead until I'm confident in their recall and have your consent. I'll keep you updated on their progress and provide daily feedback once I start walking your dog.

You don’t need to be at home for the pick-up or drop-off if a key is provided. I am fully DBS checked, and your keys will be kept in a secure location when not in use, with no identifying marks. I take great care to always ensure the safety and privacy of your home and keys.

Yes, I take extra care after each walk, to make sure your dog is cleaned up — whether that’s wiping off their paws, drying them off, or giving them a full wipe down to keep them fresh and comfortable when they return home. I also have a portable shower in the van for those very wet walks!

Yes, I am extremely flexible and will always do my best to fit your dog(s) into my weekly schedule.

Yes, I do offer weekend walks! I understand how busy schedules can be, so I’m happy to provide walks on both Saturdays and Sundays, to accommodate your needs.

I offer a free meet-and-greet to get to know both you and your dog. Please contact me to find out more.

Absolutely! If your dog is nervous around others, I can offer solo walks to ensure their safety and comfort. My priority is always your pet’s well-being. Group walks can also help improve socialisation skills.

Yes, I have comprehensive insurance, specifically designed for professional dog walking.

I have Pet First aid training, and in the event of an emergency, I will take immediate action to ensure your dog’s safety. I will contact you right away to inform you of the situation and, if necessary, take your dog to its veterinary clinic. I always prioritise your dog’s well-being and will keep you updated throughout the process.

I am very flexible but kindly ask for 48 hours notice if you wish to modify or cancel a booking. However, I understand that emergencies happen, so please reach out as soon as possible, and I will do my best to accommodate you.

Every Friday, I’ll send an invoice to your email. Payments can be made via bank transfer or cash if you prefer.
