Coastal Dog Walkers

Our cocker spaniel loves going out with both John and Angela - she always comes back happy and ready for an afternoon nap! John spent a session getting to know our pooch and then slowly introduced her to a smaller pack which has really helped with her anxiety. I highly recommend John if you’re looking for a friendly and very reliable dog walker who knows his stuff!

John and his team are brilliant with my dog Izzy. I love how flexible they are and they’re great with their communication too. I really trust them with my house key & Izzy…and know she’s in really good hands.I can highly recommend if anyone’s looking for a dog walker and you can be confident in the knowledge that your much loved pet is being well looked after as well as being given some great exercise.

Can’t recommend John and his team highly enough. The dogs love them and they take great care of them, tailoring walks to suit my 14 year old and 5 year old dogs!

Excellent service, reliable, friendly and great value for money.John and his team have helped my look after Rosie since she was a tiny puppy. She now loves walks with all her friends and I get a very waggy tail when I tell her they are coming to see her.

John and the team are brilliant and I would highly recommend to anyone for a friendly, reliable service. Communication is great and they always go out of their way to help. My dogs lead walking skills have really improved in a few short months. She loves her walks and is always so excited to go!

What a transformation!We’re over the moon with the influence John and his team at Coastal Dog Walkers have had on our dog over the past three months. Truly surpassing our expectations of what we thought was possible for Saint, our lovely but grumpy six-year-old Border Collie now can walk with other doggies!Ever since we called John, the whole thing has been a breeze. We easily arranged a schedule and John comes to get her a few days a week where she gets an hour’s walk, dropping her back off again afterwards. We had thought she would need to be walked on her own—which Coastal Dog Walkers do offer to do—but she is managing to walk with other dogs. It’s fantastic for her, and we’re so pleased she’s spending time with doggy pals.It’s not just Saint who looks forward to John ringing the doorbell: the added routine has helped provide another bit of structure to our week; the extra support taking the pressure off so we can get on with other tasks. And it’s always lovely having a catch up when John comes to collect and drop off—he’s full of positivity and reassurance and just from speaking to him you can tell he has your dog’s best interest at heart.Every time Saint leaves with John we are confident that she’s in good hands. She’ll be back after her walk, happily knackered and ready for a nap. Coastal Dog Walkers do everything they can to guarantee your dogs are safe with them—they're insured, they make sure all their staff have gone through the proper checks and that everybody who is walking your dog is trained to a high standard.You can see the level of care John puts into his service in the improvement in Saint’s behaviour and mood. It has been beyond lush to see pictures of her hanging out with other smiley doggies on social media—out and about by the river or enjoying the sunshine in the park. It’s astounding, given that we never thought she’d manage to be social again.We’ve noticed a huge change at home and on walks—far less barky now than she was at the start of the summer. All those walks have burnt off the extra biscuits she’s been putting away over the winter. She’s much happier too, and so are we knowing she’s getting the exercise and socialisation she needs but we haven’t been able to provide.

John and his team at Coastal Dog Walkers are absolutely brilliant and I would recommend them to any dog owner in the area. As we have quite a nervous ex-racing dog, John took his time to ensure she is walked with suitable dogs and provided many tips on how to improve her confidence, which made a big difference. He is always flexible regarding walking days and communication is quick and clear - to add to that, Poppy is more excited to go out with Coastal Dog walkers than she ever is with us!

John & his team have been walking Tilly for around 6 months now, I was hesitant at first because Tilly is quite old and can be grumpy around other dogs, however her behavior has improved and I cant thank John & this team enough.*Plus Tilly has won doggy of the month and also got a great treat from the team.

John and his walkers are really friendly and you can tell they love dogs! John respond to messages quickly and is very flexible with what day you want your dog walking, week to week. Love seeing the photos of the dogs on social media and working out where my dog’s been that day.

john took my dog on for a few months to help socialise him as he is still young. John is professional, caring and very reliable in all weathers. Jet loved his walks and has met some local doggy friends.
