Providing dog walking and pet services for the Ringwood area in Hampshire, UK
Dog Walking -There are many reasons why you may not always be able to walk your dog. Are you Working long hours? Feeling unwell or recovering from an operation? Planning a day out? Struggling to find time to give your dog the exercise it needs? Ringwood Walkies can help to ensure your dog gets the exercise it requires to remain happy and healthy. An initial meeting with you and your dog will be necessary so that we can get to know your dog a little better. This will also help to ensure that our services can be tailored to suit the needs of you and your dog. We can collect your dog and transport them in my secure vehicle for a dog walk in the New Forest or a walk of your choice. We will only dog walk up to four dogs at any one time. Puppy Visits - Looking after a puppy can be hard work, especially if you cannot be around all the time. We can visit your home once or twice a day, to ensure your puppy is not left alone for too long. This could include Feeding, Playing, Help with toilet training, Help with basic commands, A short walk (when ready) and lots of cuddles! Puppies are usually ready for a short walk at around 12 weeks old or following their last puppy vaccine. Once your puppy gets older, it can then be introduced to other dogs I dog walk with, to help with socialisation. Small Pet Home Visits - In addition to dogs, Ringwood Walkies are happy to care for other small pets within your home (Cats, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Chickens, Birds, Fish etc.). Are you Planning a day out? Going away for the weekend? Going on holiday? Going into hospital? We can help by calling in once or twice a day. This could include: Feeding, Providing clean water, Handling, Playing, Cleaning bedding/cage, Additional Services For peace of mind while you are away, we can also provide the following services: Collect mail, Water indoor plants, Curtains drawn, Lights switched on, Put rubbish out. Pet Taxi - Sometimes you just can't be there for your pet, we can. Ringwood Walkies can also take your pet to the vet, for its annual booster/check-up or to the groomers, if it is difficult for you to do so. Additional mileage fees may be necessary depending on distances travelled.
Your dog’s safety will always be paramount during the dog walk. Dogs will be kept on a lead until we feel comfortable letting them off and can only be let off with your written consent. On returning to your house, we are happy to dry your dog with a towel to ensure no muddy footprints are left behind! We can also check clean water is available and provide food if required. We will keep all regular clients informed of any holidays planned, and where possible, help to arrange an alternative dog walking service during that time. In addition to dog walking, we can also just let your dog out into your garden if you are delayed at work or planning a day out. Last minute bookings are welcome, as long as an ‘initial meeting’ has taken place first.
