About us
Trusted dog walking, built by dog owners
Walkies UK was founded in Berkshire by dog owners who couldn't find a walker they trusted. So we built the one we wished existed.

Our story
It started with one simple worry
Like a lot of dog owners, we found ourselves stuck: long working days, a dog at home who needed exercise, and a nagging worry every time we handed a key to someone we'd only just met. Is my dog actually safe? Where are they right now? Are they even being walked?
The options weren't good enough. Faceless apps with no real vetting. Word-of-mouth walkers with no insurance and no accountability. Nobody could tell us, with proof, that our dog was in safe hands.
So we built Walkies UK — a marketplace where every walker is background-checked, insured and interviewed in person, and every single walk is GPS-tracked with a photo report sent to your phone. The peace of mind we wanted, built into the product from day one.
How we vet walkers
Nobody walks a dog until they've cleared every check
Trust isn't a marketing line for us — it's a process. Here's exactly what every walker goes through before they ever meet your dog.
Identity verified
We confirm every walker is exactly who they say they are before anything else.
Enhanced DBS check
A full enhanced background check — the same standard used for people who work with children and vulnerable adults.
References checked
We follow up references so you don't have to take anyone's word for it.
Insurance verified
Public liability and pet care insurance is confirmed and kept in date.
In-person interview
A real conversation — because paperwork doesn't tell you if someone's genuinely good with dogs.
Onboarding & training
Every walker is trained on our standards before they take a single booking.
How we protect your dog
Safe on every walk, every time
Vetting gets the right people in. These keep your dog protected once the walk begins.
GPS-tracked walks
Every walk is tracked live and the route is sent straight to your phone.
Photo reports
Photos and a friendly note after every walk, so you always know how your dog got on.
Fully insured
Every walk is covered by public liability and pet care insurance.
The Walkies UK Guarantee
If you're not happy with your dog's first walk, we'll refund it in full — no questions asked.
We'd rather lose a single booking than keep a customer who doesn't trust us with their dog.
