Frequently Asked Questions

What are your group walk sizes?

Small Pack Promise - our group dog walks are limited to a maximum of 3 dogs per walk for a stress-free enjoyable experience - ensuring safety and personalised attention. We also provide solo walks.

How long have you been a dog walker?

I have 9 years of professional experience as a dog walker in Northfleet. My passion for caring for dogs led me to launch Paws and Play in January 2024. Providing trusted and loving care has always been at the heart of what I do.

Where do you walk?

We’re proud to serve the Northfleet DA11 area, ensuring your dog has the best walking experiences. Our regular dog walking routes include Northfleet Urban Country Park and other spacious green spaces, offering plenty of opportunities to sniff, explore, and enjoy nature. For our adventure walks, we venture further afield using our car to visit stunning locations like Ashenbank Wood, Shorne Country Park, Cobham, Botany Marshes and Northfleet Beach.

Are you Insured?

Yes, I have comprehensive pet business and public liability insurance. A copy of my insurance certificate is available upon request.

Additionally, I am certified in Dog Walking and Pet Sitting, Canine First Aid, Animal Care, and Environmental Stimulation on Walks. Your dog's safety and happiness are in expert hands.

How do you ensure the safety of the dogs during walks?

Your dog's safety is our top priority. We provide secure leads and personalised ID tags for every dog walk. We are always vigilant, avoiding busy or hazardous areas to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Our commitment to our small pack promise, with a maximum of just 1, 2, or 3 dogs at a time, further enhances their safety. This allows us to give each dog the individual attention they need and minimizes the risk of incidents that can have an increased chance of occurring in larger, more chaotic groups.

How do I join Paws and Play

Joining the Paws and Play family is very simple. Here are a few ways to get started or learn more:

We can't wait to hear from you!

Do you provide dog treats and waste bags?

You provide the dog - we’ll handle the rest. From secure leads, waste bags and water, to plenty of tasty treats, we’ve got everything covered. Plus, for added peace of mind, we attach our personalised 'I'm out with my dog walker' ID tags (detailing our contact number) to your dog’s harness or collar before every walk.

Do you offer dog training?

We practice basic training techniques like sit, wait, recall, and lead etiquette, naturally, on every walk. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m fully committed to supporting your dog’s positive habits.

What are your Puppy Packages?

 

My puppy packages give your new puppy the best possible start with tailored home visits that provide care, comfort and routine while you are away.

Each drop-in visit includes a friendly welfare check, fresh water, feeding to your instructions, toilet breaks and garden playtime where appropriate.

I provide gentle interaction, age-appropriate play, basic routine reinforcement and plenty of reassurance. Where needed, I can clean up accidents, refresh puppy pads, administer pre-agreed medication and send updates with photos after every visit. Tailored to your puppy’s age, routine and individual needs, my visits help them feel safe, settled and cared for at home.

 

Do I have to be home when you collect my dog?

No need to be home - I can collect your pup at our scheduled time using a key or access code you provide in advance.
