ECO-Dog Walking

Eco-Dog Walking! Environmentally friendly fully electric van to transport your dogs to the places of beauty in our locality for a good long walk. Plenty of paw prints but no carbon footprint!

Living in such beautiful countryside I always vary the walks and love taking pups to new places to explore. I prefer to let them off lead as much as I can and have spent many years finding safe walks far away from roads, livestock, houses, railway lines, people and other dogs.

Your dogs’ wellbeing and care is the most important part of my day. They will be loved, looked after and treated as my own and the walk will always be enjoyable, educational and safe. Our new van is professionally fitted with top of the range bespoke cages making it the safest, most comfortable travel system for your dog/dogs. It is fully air conditioned and pvc/rubber lined for hygiene and cleanliness.

Once I’ve got to know your dog it may be possible to introduce them to other dogs that I walk for group walking. I always match dogs with energy/breed and have gained the experience and skills to know which dogs will be good friends. I never have more than 6 dogs in a group at any one time. Social walks are great for young pups and I encourage owners to join in when possible. Puppies between the age of 2-6months will only be walked at a rate of 5mins per month old. (See section on Puppies)

Solo walks are something that I’ve had many many years of practice with! Having my own reactive GSD for many years living in Billingshurst I sought out the quietest, safest walks where we could have a stress free time. Some of these walks are still unknown to many as I seldom share them with others. Secure fields can be booked for convenience. I will not charge extra for these as it’s more about my convenience than yours. Any dog walker with experience should know places to walk safely.

Natural healthy treats will be given regularly on the walks and any dietary specifications will be adhered to.

Above all I will enjoy spending the time with your dogs and give them the chance to be dogs in a safe and fun environment.

Drop-Ins

What is a drop-in?

Designed for puppies and older dogs alike. Drop-ins are ideal if you need someone to pop in, feed, let out in the garden and check that they’re ok.

Why are drop-ins important?

Understanding and research on dogs welfare has proven that an important part of maintaining your dogs health and wellbeing is to never leave them alone for long periods. They are extremely sensitive and their emotional needs are very much like our own when it comes to feeling anxious. Like us too they are unique in how they cope with every day stresses. Most behaviourists and vets would agree that leaving any dog for more than 5 hours during the day or night can have a detrimental effect on their mental health.

How long should I leave my puppy?

Puppies from 10wks can be introduced slowly to short periods of being left alone. During their first 2months development, slowly introducing them to being on their own will help with any future separation anxiety problems. Puppies sleep a lot and with careful planning and timing they should never feel uncomfortable or scared when you go out. A maximum of 2 hours should be reached by 3months old. Some equipment can be used to great success such as crates and cameras, likki mats and Kongs.

Andrea takes our little Albert out 2/3 times a week and he absolutely adores her 😍 Andrea’s always flexible and reliable. Albert beams with excitement when she arrives. would definitely recommend!

Nikki M Andrea has done home visits and walks since our dog was a puppy. He is a well socialised dog as a result. She is fantastic and he absolutely adores her and his time with her.

Andrea has been walking Lottie 3 times a week for over a year. I trust her completely and Lottie always has a great time.

Our boy loves his walks.. It is such a weight off my mind knowing that he gets to have plenty of off lead time l and the opportunity to play and run with other dogs.
He is always so happy and sleeps like a baby when he comes back.

Andrea is simply fantastic! My dog, Theo, absolutely adores her and looks forward to every walk with excitement. Her dedication and genuine love for animals are evident in how she cares for Theo, making him feel comfortable and happy. I couldn’t ask for a better dog walker – she’s attentive, trustworthy, and always goes the extra mile. Highly recommended!

July 5  · I would highly recommend Bow-Wows. I was desperately trying to find a dog walker for our 6 month lab, then I followed Andrea’s van ! She got back to me immediately, is very professional and I love her ethos and amazing connection with our four legged friends. My pup is extremely happy, Andrea keeps me updated on walks and is very reliable . Honestly can’t recommend enough if you want a fantastic service and a very happy contented dog and owner.

Andrea is the best. My pooches love going on walks and socializing with their friends in some wonderful areas. She always shares photos of their daily escapdes. Andrea is professional, reliable and flexible and I never have to worry about my doggies as I know they are always being taken care of. Highly recommend Bow wows.

Andrea at Bow Wows has been our dog walker (and saviour!) for the past 3/4 years and she is worth her weight in gold. With demanding jobs she always makes room for Max on short notice and always sends lovely pics of our lovely boy on fantastic walks. We couldn’t be without Bow Wows and recommend the company to everyone we know. Thank you again Andrea for always being so wonderful to us, you’re now our extended family

Dog walking, drop-ins and pet services. Professional, trusted and caring with full insurance, Pet first Aid, CRB checked and years of experience with many breeds and behaviours.

Here at Bow-Wows I understand your need for the absolute best, most reliable and highly experienced care for your pets. I keep my prices reasonable, affordable, transparent and fair with no hidden costs.

Walks are determined on an individual basis and will be discussed during the first consultation and assessment which is free. This can be arranged by either meeting you and your dog on a walk or at home and there is no extra charge for this.

Group walks will be with no more than 6 dogs providing they have known each other for a long time and have proven to be friends. Groups of 4 dogs will be the norm and most new dogs will be introduced slowly to this.

Solo walks are my specialty, having my own reactive dogs.
Secure fields can be booked for convenience. I will not charge extra for these as it’s more about my convenience than yours. Any dog walker with experience should know places to walk safely.

Walks are for 1 hour and include pick-up and drop off. Wet/ muddy dogs will be towel dried. A mixture of single and group walks. No large groups.

Price for 1 dog = £17
2 or more dogs from the same household from £8 each

1 hr unsocial walk

I know only too well that some dogs love social distancing! It’s fine, and it can be managed. I’ve had many years of experience and know all the quieter places for a stress free walk.

Price for 1 dog = £20

Additional Dogs £10

Payment can be either daily, weekly or monthly, BACS is preferable and I can send an invoice via email on request.

Drop-ins 30mins = £15

I can offer walks or drop-ins out of hours (5pm-9pm) or over the weekend, these will be charged at time and a half and double time rate.  

Bank Holidays can be arranged and will be charged at double time.
