The Dog Walker Leicester

The Dog Walker Leicester Hi, I'm Michelle and I am the owner of the Dog Walker Leicester. Here is a little bit about me. Could it really work? It has been a learning curve.
(19)

1 Hour Group Walk £13, 2 Hour Group Walks £22, Half Hour Pop In For Elderly Dogs Or Puppy Visit £12, Sunday & Bank Hol Group Walk £15, Half Hour Solo Walk £12, 1 Hour Solo Walk £17 In the summer of 2009 I decided to put into practise something I had been thinking about for a couple of years, back then there weren’t many dog walkers around and it was a difficult decision to give up a decent job an

d start up a business which I wasn't sure would work. I've always had pets and feel more comfortable around animals than people, I've always loved walking and being outdoors so if I could combine the two and earn a living that would be amazing. I needn’t have worried the dogs just kept coming and soon I was full. New dog walkers were starting up and I was able to pass work on. I can't pretend it's all been a walk in the park. You think you know dogs until you work with so many different ones every day. Some days it's hard work when the weather man gets it wrong and my mascara ends up on my chin or when one of the dogs has got a little over excited and knocked me in the mud. There’s been p**p and sick in the van, the worry of keeping the dog’s safe while out on walks, learning to have eyes in the back of your head, the sleepless nights worrying about injuries, illness and behaviour problems. Constantly thinking of how I can make sure each dog gets the most of every single minute with me, the heartbreak of one of them crossing to the Rainbow Bridge or moving away. But would I do it all again? YES, YES, YES and YES again, and I will keep on doing it until I either die or can't walk. Never have I had such a rewarding job. The happiness I see in their faces when I pick them up is second to none, when clients tell me that their dogs have become a different dog since coming out with me, all the training and hard work I've put in is worth it. I can't take all the credit. Around six years ago my very faithful human pal Derek started helping me on my walks. After a string of ill health his kids had brought him a Springer Spaniel called Misty. Walking is the best thing for being a healthy young chap in your 70s and he joins us for one walk a day. Misty love’s seeing her pals every day and Derek is great human company for me and an extra set of eyes to keep your babies safe. So why choose me out of the all the dog walkers out there? I have been a professional dog walker for over 12 years and was one of the first in Leicester. I have been around dogs since I was born. There isn’t much I haven’t encountered over those years. If I say your dog is getting an hours walk that's what they get, maybe more but never less. I don't cut corners and I make sure they enjoy every minute while staying safe. I provide safe and secure air-conditioned transport for your dogs. I purchased a new van in 2019 and have secure cages installed with non slip rubber matting. I’m fully insured with a specialist pet care company. All dogs receive basic training and learn their manners while out on walks. This makes my life easier and means I’m not over the other side of a field rescuing a little old dear from being jumped on by one of my dogs while Rover, Spot and Rufus are waiting for a game of ball. If you choose me and I think your dog will fit in well at The Dog Walker Leicester I will never let you down. If I become your dog walker you get me for your dogs life. A lot of my dogs have been with me since they were tiny puppies and I love them like my own. I only walk in small groups and make sure I choose the right dogs to be in that group. If you’re still not sure, why not give me a call or drop me a text and I’ll call you back so we can discuss your requirements.

Good morning peeps & woofers. Hope everyone has made it through the storm .

Welcome to this pretty little lady Lucy the Labrador ❤ She had her first walkies with us on Tuesday & Oh my goodness did she have a good time. She isn't shy as shes been used to a dog walking group already & leapt in the van to say hi to the others. Everyone loved her 😍She did find manage to find a good dollop of 💩to roll in though & my first day with her i had to take her back stinking. Did my best to remove most of it but we all know how fox p**p stinks 😷 Havent got the sack yet so all good so far 🤣

😭💔 This morning Dyson crossed the rainbow Bridge. His back legs had done a lot of work over the years as Dyson was a very busy dog. Yesterday they stopped working & today we had to say goodbye. I was hoping he would make it to his 13th birthday next month as he loved a good party but it wasn't to be. Sending love & hugs to David & Sarah & everyone who loved him. Dyson Reilly you were a legend. Your amazing eyes, stunning colouring, your ability to make us laugh. Everyone loved you so much. You will be missed by so many especially Wispa & Molly & of course myself. 11 years I've been walking you & I loved you so much. Run free my beautiful boy 💙💛❤🧡💚

Peggy the puppy meets Grandad Dyson 💙💖 I needed a nice calm dog who isn't going to be too boisterous for little Peggy so I brought Dyson along for her first doggy meet. He was so good with her & she was very interested in our good old faithful Dyson. She sniffed him, danced round him & followed him around & it was lovely to watch them together 😍

First day yesterday with this extremely cute little chipolata 💗 A small walk round the block for this tiny girl. Lots of belly rubs & cuddles & a chill out on the grass. Also popped her in the van for a sniff round & get her used to it before she joins the group walks. Tomorrow we shall try shutting the door for a few secs & build to a little longer on her next puppy visit. Her name is Peggy 💗

Our Story

Welcome to my page. I love photographing dogs so feel free to have a browse.

So, a little about myself and my dog walking business. I started The Dog Walker Leicester way back in 2009.

I was fed up in my old catering job, the boss and I didn’t get along and no matter how hard I worked it was never appreciated.
