Professional Dog Walking Services in London

Trusted Care for Your Four-Legged Friend

Finding reliable care for your dog during busy weekdays can be challenging. At Wozede, we provide tailored walking services designed around your schedule and your pet's specific requirements. Whether your dog needs a brisk 30-minute stroll through the local park or an extended adventure exploring London's green spaces, our experienced walkers ensure each outing is safe, enjoyable, and enriching.

We understand that every dog has unique needs. Some prefer quiet walks along tree-lined streets, whilst others thrive on socialising in off-lead areas. Our service accommodates dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic young Labradors requiring vigorous exercise to senior Terriers who appreciate a gentle pace, we adapt our approach to suit your companion perfectly.

Operating across London from Monday to Friday between 9:00 and 17:30, with Saturday availability from 10:00 to 14:00, we offer flexible booking options. Regular weekday walks help maintain your dog's physical health and mental stimulation, reducing behavioural issues often caused by pent-up energy. Our walkers carry water, waste bags, and first aid supplies on every outing, prioritising your pet's safety and comfort.

All our walkers undergo thorough background checks and pet first aid training. We maintain small group sizes, with a maximum of four dogs per walker, ensuring each animal receives adequate attention. You'll receive updates after each walk, including photos and notes about your dog's behaviour, appetite for exercise, and any observations we feel you should know. We're fully insured, giving you complete peace of mind whilst your dog is in our care.

Located at 47 Elmwood Avenue, SW17 9QJ, we serve neighbourhoods throughout London. Contact us at +44 20 8761 0923 or [email protected] to discuss your requirements and arrange an initial consultation. We're here to make daily exercise convenient for you and enjoyable for your dog.

Professional Dog Walking Services

Reliable care for your pet with experienced handlers across London. Each walk is tailored to your dog's needs and energy level.

30-Minute Walk

Perfect for smaller breeds or senior dogs who need gentle exercise. Our handlers ensure your pet gets fresh air and bathroom breaks while maintaining a comfortable pace. Ideal for lunch breaks or quick outdoor time during busy days.

Popular

60-Minute Walk

Standard service for most breeds requiring regular activity. Your dog will explore local parks, practice recall commands, and socialise with other dogs when appropriate. Includes water breaks and post-walk paw cleaning before returning home.

90-Minute Extended Walk

Comprehensive exercise for high-energy breeds like Border Collies or Labradors. Includes varied terrain, off-lead time in secure areas, and mental stimulation through scent work. Your dog returns tired and content after thorough physical activity.

Early Morning Walk

Available from 6:00 AM for working professionals. Your dog starts the day with exercise before you leave for work. We collect your pet using a secure key safe, complete the walk, and ensure they're settled back home safely.

Evening Walk

Late service until 8:00 PM for dogs who need activity after your work day. Particularly useful during winter months when daylight is limited. We use reflective gear and LED collars to ensure visibility and safety throughout the walk.

Best Value

Weekly Package

Five walks per week at a reduced rate. Consistent schedule helps establish routine for your dog while providing significant savings. Choose your preferred times and days. Package includes GPS tracking and photo updates after each walk completed.

Group Walk

Socialisation opportunity with up to four compatible dogs. Carefully matched groups based on size, temperament, and play style. Your dog enjoys company while exercising in Clapham Common or Wandsworth Park. Handlers maintain control and monitor all interactions closely.

Solo Walk

One-on-one attention for dogs requiring individual care. Suitable for reactive dogs, those in training, or pets who prefer solitary exercise. Your dog receives undivided focus from an experienced handler throughout the entire session without distractions from other animals.

Senior Dog Care

Gentle exercise designed for older dogs with mobility considerations. Shorter distances with frequent rest stops and careful monitoring of energy levels. We adapt pace to your pet's comfort and can administer medications if required during the outing.

High-Energy Walk

Intensive exercise for working breeds and athletic dogs. Includes running intervals, fetch sessions, and agility challenges in suitable locations. Your dog receives the physical workout they need to prevent destructive behaviour at home. Handlers are experienced with demanding breeds.

Puppy Introduction

Shorter walks for puppies under six months. Focus on lead training, basic commands, and positive experiences outdoors. We introduce your puppy to different environments gradually while building confidence. Sessions include socialisation with calm, vaccinated dogs when appropriate for development.

All-Weather Walk

We walk in rain or shine with appropriate protective gear. Your dog still needs exercise regardless of British weather. Handlers use waterproof clothing and towel dry your pet before returning home. Shorter routes may be used during severe conditions.

Adventure Walk

Exploration of new locations beyond your neighbourhood. We transport your dog to Richmond Park, Wimbledon Common, or other scenic areas for variety. Extended time allows for swimming opportunities in safe water bodies during warmer months. Includes transportation both ways.

Midday Check-In

Quick visit for dogs who cannot hold their bladder for extended periods. Includes bathroom break in your garden or nearby area, fresh water, and brief playtime. Ideal for puppies, elderly dogs, or pets with medical conditions requiring frequent toilet access.

Weekend Walk

Saturday and Sunday service for when you have commitments or need extra help. Same quality care on weekends with flexible timing. Popular for families with children's activities or those who want to enjoy lie-ins. Advanced booking recommended due to high demand.

Holiday Care Package

Daily walks while you're away on holiday. We maintain your dog's routine with consistent timing and familiar routes. Includes home security checks, plant watering, and mail collection. Detailed updates sent via WhatsApp with photos. Minimum booking three consecutive days required.

Trial Walk

First-time service at introductory rate. Meet your assigned handler, discuss your dog's specific needs, and experience our service quality. We assess your pet's behaviour, preferences, and any special requirements. No commitment required, though most clients continue after experiencing our professional approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our professional dog walking services in London

We offer flexible walk durations to suit your pet's needs: 30-minute quick walks for smaller breeds or puppies, 60-minute standard walks for most dogs, and 90-minute extended walks for high-energy breeds. Each walk includes proper exercise, socialisation time, and bathroom breaks.

Our service covers South West London including Streatham, Tooting, Balham, Clapham, and surrounding neighbourhoods. We use local parks such as Tooting Common, Streatham Common, and Wandsworth Common. All routes are planned to provide variety, ensuring your dog experiences different environments and maintains mental stimulation throughout the week.

Yes, all our walkers carry full public liability insurance up to £5 million and pet care insurance. Each team member has completed professional animal care training and holds current pet first aid certification from a recognised provider.

We carefully match walkers to dogs based on breed characteristics, temperament, and specific needs. Whether you have a spirited Border Collie, a gentle Labrador, or a small terrier, we have experience handling various breeds and personalities. Our walkers understand breed-specific requirements including exercise intensity, socialisation needs, and potential health considerations. We maintain detailed notes about each dog's preferences and behaviour patterns to ensure consistent, quality care.

We walk in most weather conditions because regular exercise benefits your dog's physical and mental health. Our walkers come prepared with waterproof gear, and we adjust routes during rain to include more sheltered paths through wooded areas. After wet walks, we thoroughly dry your dog with towels we bring along, paying special attention to paws and underbelly.

In extreme weather situations such as severe storms, ice warnings, or heat alerts above 28°C, we prioritise safety. We'll contact you to discuss alternatives like shorter walks during cooler hours, indoor play sessions, or rescheduling. Your dog's wellbeing always comes first, and we never take unnecessary risks regardless of weather conditions.

We offer both options depending on your dog's personality and your preferences. Solo walks provide one-on-one attention, ideal for dogs who prefer human company, need training reinforcement, or have specific behavioural requirements. This option suits older dogs, those recovering from illness, or pets who simply enjoy undivided attention.

Group walks include up to four compatible dogs maximum, allowing socialisation with carefully selected companions. We assess temperament, size, and energy levels before introducing dogs to ensure safe, positive interactions. Group walks cost less than solo walks while still providing excellent exercise and mental stimulation. Many dogs thrive in small group settings, developing confidence and social skills. You can discuss which option suits your pet during our initial consultation.

Booking is straightforward through our website, by phone, or via email. For regular weekly schedules, we recommend booking at least one week ahead to secure your preferred time slots. Last-minute bookings are often possible subject to availability, especially during weekdays.

Before the first walk, we arrange a free meet-and-greet at your home. This 20-minute visit allows us to meet your dog, collect keys, discuss routines, learn about any medical needs or behavioural notes, and answer your questions. We'll photograph your dog's favourite toys, treats, and any emergency contacts you want us to have. Once set up, you can book additional walks with just 24 hours notice. We also offer emergency same-day bookings when our schedule permits.

Absolutely. After every walk, you receive a detailed report including pickup and drop-off times, distance covered, bathroom breaks, behaviour observations, and any noteworthy incidents. We include photos of your dog enjoying their adventure, giving you peace of mind while you're at work or away.

Reports are sent via email or our mobile app, whichever you prefer. For regular clients, we maintain a log tracking your dog's activity patterns over time. If anything unusual occurs during a walk such as a minor injury, interaction with another dog, or changes in behaviour, we contact you immediately by phone. Communication is central to our service, ensuring you stay informed and connected with your pet throughout the day.

We welcome dogs with special requirements and tailor our service accordingly. During the initial consultation, we discuss any medical conditions, dietary restrictions, medication schedules, mobility limitations, or behavioural considerations in detail. Our walkers can administer medication if needed and follow specific instructions regarding pace, rest breaks, or restricted activities.

For dogs with anxiety, we use calming techniques and gradually build confidence through positive reinforcement. Senior dogs receive gentler walks with more frequent rest stops. We accommodate dogs recovering from surgery with lead-only walks and controlled movement as directed by your vet. All special requirements are documented in your dog's profile, and the same walker handles your pet whenever possible to maintain consistency and familiarity, which particularly benefits dogs with additional needs.

What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from dog owners across London who trust us with their pets

SJ
Sarah Johnson
Wimbledon

I work long hours and was worried about Max being alone all day. The walker arrives exactly at 2pm every weekday, sends me photos during the walk, and Max comes home tired and happy. He's lost 2kg since we started three months ago, which my vet is pleased about. The booking system is straightforward and I can reschedule if needed.

Emma Phillips
Battersea

Good service overall. The walker is reliable and my spaniel seems to enjoy the walks. I appreciate the GPS tracking feature. Only reason for four stars is that I'd prefer slightly longer walks for the price, but the quality of care is definitely there. They remembered to wipe his paws before bringing him back inside, which shows attention to detail.

James Thompson
Tooting

Does the job. My terrier gets his daily exercise and the walker is punctual. The walks are around 45 minutes which is adequate. Communication could be better - sometimes I don't get updates until evening. Price is reasonable for London. Would be nice to have more flexibility with weekend slots.

Streatham

I've been using this service for six months now for my two Labradors. The walker handles both dogs well, even though they can be quite energetic. They always come back calmer and the walker sends a brief report after each session. The only minor issue was during the first week when the pickup time varied by 15-20 minutes, but that's been sorted now. Fair pricing compared to other services I looked at.

About Wozede

Since 2015, we have been providing reliable dog walking services across London, helping pet owners maintain their dogs' health and happiness through regular outdoor activity.

Dog walking service in London

Our Beginning

Wozede started when founder Sarah Mitchell noticed a gap in London's pet care market. Many dog owners struggled to provide their pets with adequate exercise due to demanding work schedules. What began as a small operation with three walkers in Wandsworth has grown into a team of 12 trained professionals serving multiple London boroughs.

We established our base in Elmwood Avenue, Tooting, choosing this location for its proximity to several parks and green spaces. This strategic position allows us to access Tooting Common, Wandsworth Common, and Clapham Common within minutes, providing varied walking routes for the dogs in our care.

Over eight years, we have walked more than 3,500 dogs and completed over 45,000 walks. Each walker on our team holds a Level 3 Diploma in Canine Behaviour and First Aid certification, ensuring your pet receives knowledgeable care during every outing.

Our Mission

We provide consistent, safe dog walking services that meet the physical and mental stimulation needs of dogs while giving owners peace of mind. Our focus is on maintaining regular schedules, following specific care instructions, and building trust through reliable service delivery.

Our Vision
